When you think about the traditional American summer meal, many of us think about backyard cookouts or barbecues. And what’s the star of the backyard cookout? The burger. Today is National Burger Day, and cooking with gas is the perfect companion for celebrating.  

According to a 2022 report, Americans consume 20 billion burgers annually – an average of 60 patties per person. It’s likely that the versatility of the burger contributes to its popularity, with a variety of styles and toppings to suit your taste. They’re also easy to cook—made even easier with the speed and consistency of cooking with natural gas appliances.  

Cooking with gas is the standard for most of your favorite restaurants for a reason. It offers unparalleled control, speed and efficiency. Plus, the flame is critical for achieving a perfect sear, keeping your burger patties the right amount of juicy.
