Bite Into A Perfect Memorial Day Burger

As the May sun begins to heat up the Valley of the Sun, Memorial Day is a good excuse for Phoenix residents to trade triple digits for refreshing breezes and red rocks. Memorial Day weekend offers a well-deserved three-day break, but it’s also a great way to cap off National Hamburger Month. No matter what your Sedona weekend looks like, Sedona Center can help celebrate classic and over-the-top variations on this quintessential American dish.

The Beast Burger – Open Range Grill & Tavern

For those who believe bigger is better, Open Range Grill & Tavern offers "The Beast." This is a meat lover’s dream. More experience than meal, it’s a rustic, flavorful tribute to the wild frontier. The Beast Burger features a blend of wagyu beef, bison, elk, and wild boar, paired with the restaurant’s panoramic views of the red rocks.

The Caprese Pesto Burger – Sedona Pizza Company

For a lighter, sophisticated palate, the Caprese Pesto Burger is a revelation. Combining juicy beef (or a poultry alternative) with fresh mozzarella, sun-ripened tomatoes, and a bright basil pesto, it brings a taste of the Mediterranean to the high desert.
