LOUISVILLE, Ky. - If you're looking for a reason to try new restaurants in Louisville, now is the perfect time to do so.

Kentucky Beef Council's Louisville Burger Week starts on Monday, July 22.

The week-long burger fest lets you enjoy a $5 burger at 25 different delicious restaurants, and it all benefits Dare to Care Food Bank.

The idea is to get people to embrace the food, culture and Louisville-love all while getting people out to eat, drink and try new places. 

From gourmet blends to off-menu specialties and even beer pairings--this event is paying tribute to the classic American hamburger. 

Each restaurateur and chef will prepare their own unique take on the burger. 

You can get a Burger passport, have it stamped at any participating location after enjoying a great burger and be entered for a chance to win prizes. 

If you collect at least four stamps, you'll be eligible for a very special grand prize drawing featuring a Grill and Ultimate Grill Out!

Louisville Burger Week runs until Sunday, July 28.
