Is it a thick patty? Dill pickles? Something crunchy? A secret sauce?

Hamilton’s most delicious fundraiser is proof that a good burger takes many forms.

Novemburger, the annual fundraiser for the United Way, kicks off this week. Seventy-five restaurants around Hamilton and Burlington will offer unique and delicious entries throughout the month, with $1 per burger going to the United Way of Hamilton and Burlington.

Diners can vote for their favourites at novemburger.ca. Two winners will be announced, for most Novemburgers sold, and Novemburger of the Year.

In celebration of Novemburger, we asked three participating restaurants to share their secret to a good burger. (Continued: Hamilton Spectator)

Games or no Games, Ivor Wynne is gone

Whether or not Hamilton gets the Pan Am Games, it looks like Ivor Wynne’s days are numbered.

Mayor Fred Eisenberger says city staff are working on a stadium business plan that includes building a new facility regardless of whether southern Ontario gets the Games.

“There’s a need for stadium renewal, and we’re going to proceed on making that business case, one way or another,” Eisenberger said.

The site of the 2015 Pan Am Games will be decided next Friday.

If the Games go elsewhere, Eisenberger says the city will still seek senior government and private-sector funding for a modern multi-use stadium.

Even without the Games, Eisenberger believes the best site for a new facility is still the west harbour, where the city recently acquired a former Rheem Canada plant in anticipation of building a Pan Am stadium.

“I still think the waterfront location is the preferred site because it drives downtown and waterfront development and (light rail transit).” (Source: Hamilton Spectator)
