Dixie, Tel Aviv
Chef Haim Cohen’s American-Israeli meat institution is celebrating with a week-long stretch featuring an indulgent and extravagant comeback from the past.
The special menu, available from Tuesday to Saturday (May 28-June 1), alongside the restaurant's already decadent daily offerings, includes three major hits from the past: the "Highway 90 Burger" (a beef burger stuffed with lamb bacon strips and topped with aged Gouda, NIS 95 with toppings), remembered fondly from Cohen’s collaboration with Boaz Biderman’s northern restaurant and Chef Ran Sasson; the "Big Burger" (two 200-gram patties with home fries cubes and a sunny-side-up egg on top, and onion rings on the side, NIS 95); and the Surf & Turf Tower (a 250-gram patty with shrimp in butter-garlic sauce and a generous addition of fried calamari with basil aioli, NIS 102).
The Garage
The very indulgent restaurants in Tel Aviv and Rishonim Interchange celebrate with their famous ticket—lots of meat, and then some more meat.
The party centerpiece is a meter-long burger, available on Tuesday (May 28) in a very limited edition (reliable rumors speak of fifty such portions per location), in three versions: as is (NIS 345), with cheddar and lamb bacon (NIS 399), and the flagship version, which also adds fried mac and cheese balls on top (NIS 444). This madness naturally comes with triple fries (meter-long potato fries too, for consistency) and a soft drink or a third of a beer for all table diners.
Rova Wine Bar, Hod Hasharon
The cheerful wine bar celebrates Burger Day with a special trio that will be added to the regular classic and run at least until the end of the month.
Here you'll find the "Chef Burger" (a burger with Brie cheese, onion-chili jam, crispy sweet potato, arugula, and aioli, with a side of baked sweet potato), "America" (a burger with cheddar, pineapple, pepperoni, and jalapeno in a brioche bun with Tabasco aioli, and a side of fries), and "Champion's Burger" (chicken in beer and cornflakes tempura with chipotle aioli, lettuce, leek, onion, and sweet chili, with a side of fries, of course).

The veteran Israeli chain combines Burger Day and Pride Month into one big, colorful, and inclusive celebration.

The dish—Pride bun with the famous flag on top, burger, arugula and red oak lettuce, avocado slices in sesame soy and ginger vinaigrette, purple onion ring, and aioli—will cost NIS 69, with part of the proceeds going to Beit Dror, a hostel for at-risk LGBTQ youth.
Simultaneously, Agadir and Schneid will launch a special podcast under the excellent concept of eating burgers and talking about pride.

Meanwhile, McDonald's will bring back (from June 6, also for a limited time, take note) one of its legendary desserts—its famous apple pie, featuring a crispy dough shell with a fruity-cinnamon filling that somehow disappeared from the menu a year and a half ago. Price: NIS 9.
