Six Burgers, One Month — Attempt to eat six burgers in a month for free gift cards with McGuire Moorman Hospitality's challenge. Grab a punch card from any of the group's half-dozen restaurants: Lambert’s, Perla’s, Clark’s, Josephine House, Jeffrey’s, and Elizabeth Street Cafe (where the new burger is off-menu). Eat all six burgers during August, and receive a $50 gift card to any restaurant; or complete it in a week for a $250 card. The person who eats the most burgers in the month also wins a 25% discount at all locations for the year and a much-needed JuiceLand cleanse. Update, August 14, 12:10 p.m: Happy hour burgers, going forward, don't qualify for the contest. Only full-price burgers will. [EaterWire]
