Gwinnett County restaurant­s will dish up specialt y burgers at a special low price for a week as part of the annual Gwinnett Burger Week.

Hosted by Explore Gwinnett, diners can stop by any of the 12 different restaurant­s this week to try a handcrafte­d burger for only $ 7, plus tax and gratuity.

Among the event’s specials, Firebirds Wood Fired Grill i n Peachtree Corners will offer the “Towne Center,” a wood- grilled burger with sharp cheddar, applewood- smoked bacon, l ettuce, fried egg and bacon jam.

Universal Joint in Lawrencevi­lle will serve its “Ba’hn Mi Burger,” an angus beef and premium pork patty with cilantro, pickled carrots and radish, cucumber, jalapeños and house- made sriracha mayo. Other offerings include the “Lost in Paris” from Parma in Buford, an Angus beef burger with American cheese, lettuce, housemade pickles and garlic sesame sauce on a pretzel bun.

The event runs through Saturday. Formerly known as Burgers and Brews Week, Explore Gwinnett changed the name of its countywide celebratio­n to Gwinnett Burger Week to focus on the creative burgers prepared by local restaurant­s, said Lisa Anders, executive director of the organizati­on. The organizati­on will give Gwinnett’s nine craft breweries a chance to show offff their brews with a separate Beer Week later this summer, she said.
