Burger enthusiasts, assemble! On August 13-18, the city of Portland will once again become the burger capital of the world during Portland Mercury's Burger Week—presented by New Seasons Market with support from Widmer Brothers Brewing, Jim Beam, and Oregon's Finest.

FIFTY restaurants and bars do their best to one-up each other in this ultimate specialty burger showdown. Your challenge, Portland—if you should choose to accept it—is to eat as many of these $5 burgers as humanly possible over the course of six days.
