My Journey through Qatar Burger Month

Author: Susanna Larue

When Qatar Burger Month was launched by Urban Point and Qatar Living, I thought it was the coolest thing ever - and something that was much needed in Qatar.

Let's be honest - such events don't normally take place in Qatar. In a country full of expats from different backgrounds who often just hang out in their own circles, this was a great way to connect the community with local businesses through their common love of burgers.

The idea that so many top brands, including Burger King, Chili's, Crepaway and so many more, would come together to give away free burgers whenever a burger is purchased in the same month as Eid, was awesome, so kudos to Urban Point and Qatar Living for pulling off such an original and unique event.

(By the way: Burger Month is still on-going until the end of September, so there is still time to participate!! :-D)

Now, as a burger lover, I made it a personal mission to try out as many places as possible this month.

So far, I've tried burgers at Roger's Diner, Urban Jazz Kitchen, Burger King, Chili's, Fouj Cafe, Cioccoitalianni, Burger Gourmet, Elevation Burger, The Atelier Art Cafe and Johnny Rockets! And there's still so more to try before this month is over!

Personally, I felt that Fouj Cafe meat patty was the juiciest, while Roger's Diner had the softest Bun and Elevation Burger had overall satisfying burgers, since they use organic ingredients, for when I'm on the run.

Although it's crazy how much meat I've consumed this month, I still want to try Black Rock Grill and Diner's Station up at the Pearl and will try to squeeze in the remaining participating brands; namely, Lord of the Wings, Johnny Rockets, Crepaway, Gioia, Chocolate Bar, Patagonia, and Al Kut Cafe in Wyndham. Pfew.

After this month, I'll need to check my cholesterol and maybe stick to salads for October ... LOL.
