See what's celebrating today — open for your daily dose of National Day Calendar.
MAY 28, 2026 | NATIONAL HAMBURGER DAY | NATIONAL BEEF BURGER DAY | NATIONAL BRISKET DAY
Hi Everyone,
If you can smell charcoal in the air this morning, it’s not your imagination. Today’s calendar is entirely dedicated to the kings of the backyard barbecue. Fire up the grill, because May 28th is going all-in on comfort food.
Your May 28th "Grill Master" Lineup:
The Heavyweight Champions: It is a massive double-feature for National Hamburger Day and National Beef Burger Day. Whether you like them smashed, stacked, loaded with cheddar, or kept classic with just lettuce and tomato, today is the day to indulge in the ultimate American staple. The Low & Slow Masterpiece: If you prefer your smoke rings over your sear marks, happy National Brisket Day! Perfecting a brisket takes patience, time, and serious dedication—making it the undisputed crown jewel of the barbecue world.
The May 28th Challenge: Tomorrow is officially National Hamburger Day, and the team over at the National Day Calendar published a list of creative toppings to upgrade your grilling season. One of them involves mixing a backyard barbecue staple with a jar of peanut butter. We are divided on this. Would you try it? See the Wild Topping List
