Foie Gras Burger, anyone? Burger Daze will return to Liberty Market in August

(Update 7/20/12: After customer complaints, Liberty Market decided to replace the Foie Gras Burger with a Filet Oscar Burger)

Liberty Market brings back its annual Burger Daze promotion in August – 31 days of specialty burgers featuring flavors from around the world.

A different burger will be offered every day, starting with a Tater Tot Burger (pictured) on Aug. 1 and capped off with a Foie Gras Burger on Aug. 31.

This year’s lineup includes three vegetarian and two seafood “burgers.” There’s even a Dessert Burger (Aug. 9) made with brownie “patty” and vanilla cupcake “bun.”

Prices will vary depending on market prices. All patties are Harris Ranch all-natural 80/20 ground chuck unless noted.
