But what makes a regular burger into something special?

Is it the burger itself or the choice of bun and toppings and sides?

You can put almost anything on top of a burger – fried egg, pulled pork, onion rings - which all add to the overall experience.

Where in St Helens serves the best burgers – restaurants, cafes or takeaway establishments?

Next Thursday is National Burger Day – a whole day dedicated to the tasty fast food – and to mark the occasion we want to know where you go for the best burger in town.

In our Best of 2023 campaign, we’ve given out 18 awards so far in St Helens for hair, nails and beauty, tattoos and independent shops, as well as pizza, dessert and cocktails and many more.

Voting is currently taking place to find St Helens’ Best Afternoon Tea, with the vote closing at midnight on Monday, August 21.

This week it’s burgers so who will win St Helens’ Best for Burgers 2023?

Tell us which of the town’s burger joints or burger venues should make our shortlist and then the overall winner will be decided by you, our readers.

Where is your favourite place to enjoy a burger?

HOW IT WORKS: 

Each Friday morning we will reveal new categories via our social media pages and ask you who is the best. Nominations will then close each Monday morning at 12pm.

Every Thursday we will publish a shortlist of finalists with voting officially opening.

You will be able to vote in one of three ways:

- By commenting under the relevant post on our St Helens Star Facebook or Twitter pages = 1 vote

- By entering via the online article on our St Helens Star website = 2 votes

- By entering via our St Helens Star newspaper = 5 votes

The following Wednesday evening we will announce the winner of that category on social media.

Usual Newsquest competition rules apply.

So, get in touch with your burger nominations and tell us who is amazing enough to be one of our finalists.

To make your nomination go to facebook.com/sthelensstar or find us on Twitter @sthelensnews

Alternatively, you can email your nomination, telling us the name of the place serving afternoon, where they’re based and why they deserve to be shortlisted, to heidi.summerfield@newsquest.co.uk

Don’t forget to keep an eye on our website and our social media each Friday morning, when we will launch a new Best of 2023 search and then every Thursday to vote for your favourite from our shortlist.
