Okay, so the May 28 event is an American celebration but we are determined to get in on the action with Wearside burger scenes from 1994 to 2024.
Take in the memories from Jonny Ringo’s, Hudson Road School, the Blue Bell pub, Burger King in Washington and many more besides.
There’s 30 years of memories on the menu so get your teeth into these Sunderland Echo archive scenes.
