The Feast of the Immaculate Conception 2026

"Last weekend we had the unmitigated pleasure of re-launching Burger Club - announcing our shiny new, action-packed 2.0 website (www.brgrclub.com, or our secret URL www.patty.party) and getting back in the sweet, beefy saddle by celebrating the Feast of the Immaculate Conception back where it all began: Whitman’s East Village. Were the burgers slightly overcooked? Yes. Did their basement not have air conditioning on a sweltering July afternoon? No, my dear friends, they did not. But the nostalgia was strong, the beers were cold, and the company was absolutely top-of-the-line. So, while Whitman’s might have slipped further down our list of recommended spots, one thing was abundantly clear: BURGER CLUB IS BACK. “So, what’s next?” you ask… your hands trembling, your slackened jaw slick with saliva at the thought of your salty salvation… well, my beloved burger brethren, the answer is up to you, as we proudly introduce Burger Club’s all new “Suggest-a-burger” page: www.brgrclub.com/suggestions As the good ol’ U.S. of A celebrates its 250th birthday by sliding ever-deeper into authoritarianism, we pledge to work tirelessly to ensure that Burger Club remains a bastion of democracy and a beacon of enlightement ideals. To that end, we ask you to submit your most gorgeous, greasy suggestions for burgers that you believe to be Club-Worthy™, and cast your votes for your favorite suggestions from your patty-pounding peers."
