The Steak 'n Shake 7x7 Burger: There's a new gut bomb in town.
If you've ever driven around in your car at two in the morning wondering where you could find a mega gut-bomb, then read on because we've found a doozie of a burger.

Steak 'n Shake has introduced the 7 x 7 Steakburger, and it's exactly what you think it is -- seven meat patties (and seven slices of cheese) all in one bun (because seven buns would be overkill, don't you think?).

This burger contains one full pound of meat and, according to Steak 'n Shake's nutritional statement, 1,330 calories; 98 grams fat, 45 grams saturated fat, and 4,490 milligrams sodium.

If you haven't noticed, comfort food is kind of "in" right now. And while most people go on and on about their favorite local places to pick up a burger or some other gratifying delicacy, few South Floridians know more about the subject than Miami-based food-blogger Burger Beast.

On Saturday night, the Fourth Annual Burgie Awards made its way way into Broward County for the first time, in Fort Lauderdale's Esplanade Park.

Here are the winners.

Smashburger Opening New Years Eve in Boynton Beach

Have we had enough meat yet?
We would say that 2012 was year of the burger, but, then again, so was 2011. And for that matter 2010. Apparently, Americans are obsessed with red meat. After the economy took a landslide the love of all things meaty slid down to steak's less expensive counterpart: the burger. 

We have already explored the ever-increasing "better burger" market here in South Florida, but the question is: when is it going to be enough?

How many of these bad boys can you eat?
Got game? How about a really big appetite and a bottle of antacid?

If you've got what it takes to eat burgers with the big boys, you might want to check out the second-annual Smokey Bones Burger Battle tonight, June 27, at all participating Smokey Bones restaurants.

Stating at 7 p.m. tonight, 40 contestants from each restaurant will be selected to duke it out in an awesome eating contest that also raises money for Homes for our Troops, which helps build homes for severely injured veterans.

Here's how it works:

Boca's gonna get beefy this summer. 
Vegetarians are usually shut out of the burger battle game, left to nibble on toothpicks and stray pieces of lettuce that haven't been soaked in meaty leftovers. But the first-ever Boca Burger Battle: A Grilling Affair (which is in no way affiliated with a certain other Burger Battle that may be familiar to Fort Lauderdale residents) on July 14 aims to be more inclusive in that regard.

Robert Stanfield, event manager for the Boca Burger Battle production team said the event was "designed for the masses" and to have "something for everyone." That includes beef burger alternatives like tuna burgers and even a vegan option.

Rok:Brgr is debuting new promos this month.
There's lots going on with Rok:Brgr Burger Bar and Gastropub this month (which happens to be National Hamburger Month). The restaurant recently confirmed that it will expand into Miami, and it'll be defending its title this Friday at the Riverwalk Trust's Burger Battle (it won People's Choice Award for best burger in 2011). In addition, the restaurant has launched two new beefy promos this week.
 
Thursday night is now a "burgers and babes" ladies-style night with $2 craft beers, house wines, well drinks, and sliders. The deal runs 7 p.m. to close. Monday night is the more inclusive "Brgr:Bash Mondays," with all signature burgers priced at $10: The burgers are typically priced anywhere from $10 to $18. The promo also includes $4 craft beers and $5 Absolut drinks, with live music.

May is National Hamburger Month: Here's How to Celebrate in South Florida

Step aside, veggies: it's National Hamburger Month.
With all of the love burgers have gotten in the last year in South Florida, it seems superfluous to point out that Tuesday, May 1, is the start of National Hamburger Month. Do burgers really need any more veneration than they already receive? 

While there has been some debate lately -- including here at Clean Plate Charlie -- as to whether the burger trend is played out, reader response and the apparent strength of the market suggest there's no need to type up the obit just yet. If you're firmly in the "hamburgers rule" camp, we've got a few ways to celebrate the month of burger love in Broward and Palm Beach counties, after the jump.
