Among the most important of American holidays, National Cheeseburger Day is a time to pause and salute humanity’s most mouthwatering combination. It starts with cheese piled atop a sizzling beef patty, and ends with it melting down the sides of the bun and all over your hands. That classic cheeseburger experience is best enjoyed at one of Orlando’s most famous spots for the specialty – especially on such an au jus occasion. As fans will tell you, the perfect cheeseburger only looks easy to make. These Central Florida joints have absolutely nailed it.
