Welcome to half-spring, half summer June. The Burger of the Month specials on burger joints around the world have ingredients indicative of both seasons. For example, springtime-fresh watercress is featured on two burgers. There also are a surprising number of burgers featuring goat cheese. It鈥檚 on the Napa Valley Burger at聽Bobby Flay鈥檚 Bobby鈥檚 Burger Palace; on聽DMK Burger Bar鈥檚 It鈥檚 Greek to Me burger; on聽Grill 鈥橢m All鈥檚 The Black Dahlia Murder Burg (truffled goat cheese, no less) and, of course on the Goat Tell It On the Mountain burger at聽Flipdaddy鈥檚.

I think of fried green tomatoes as a summer treat, but they鈥檙e already sneaking onto menus:聽Stuft聽in Fort Collins, Colo., has a Fried Green Tomato Burger;聽Twisted Root Burger Co.聽in Texas is featuring a Southern Comfort burger with fried green tomatoes (plus barbecue bourbon glaze, mind you).

In Copenhagen, Denmark,听The Bronx Burger Bar聽says its Burger of the Month, The Baconaise, 鈥渃ombines 3 of the most popular things on a burger鈥�: Onion, bacon and鈥� b茅arnaise sauce? That sounds wrong but I noticed that the BOTM at聽Black Betty Burger & Wine Bar聽is a Wagyu beef patty topped with saut茅ed garlic prawns and, yes, b茅arnaise sauce.

Black Betty鈥檚 combo of beef prawns is one of several multi-protein burgers. AtBGR: That Burger Joint, the Pulled BBQ Burger has beef topped with pulled pork;Burger 55鈥檚 special has a beef patty topped with root-beer-smoked pulled pork;Kuma鈥檚 Corner聽tops a 10-oz. beef burger with a veal schnitzel patty; and聽Slater鈥檚 50/50鈥檚 Surf & Turf has seasoned beef and a whole-lump crab cake.

The聽complete list聽of all 50聽Burger of the Month specials on menus around the world can be聽. You won鈥檛 have to look far for a great idea for your burger bar.
