National Cheeseburger Day

National Cheeseburger Day is an informal US food celebration on September 18, not a public holiday. The cheeseburger adds a slice of cheese to the familiar burger, inspiring plenty of topping combinations. Explore simple burgers, picnic lunches and café scenes, and choose your own colors for each ingredient.

A single burger or a diner scene

Choose one broad stack, or two burgers with a restaurant around them.

Bring out buns and cheese

Print the original line drawing linked below. The numbered areas match the color key and steps; use the colored example as a starting point, then choose your own colors if you prefer.

Digital coloring example

Two diner burgers with light brown buns and yellow cheese; seeds, other fillings and restaurant scene white.
A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.
  • 1. Brown buns
  • 2. Yellow cheese
  • 3. White remaining details
  1. Color both burgers’ top buns and bottom bun bases light brown. Keep the sesame seeds white.
  2. Color the two pointed cheese slices yellow, one in each burger.
  3. Leave all other fillings, fries, drinks, sauce, tray and restaurant white.

Both burgers repeat the same bun and cheese colors. The white seeds and filling layers remain separate.

Follow the layers

Point to bun, cheese and lower bun in each burger. On scrap paper, draw a domed bun and a pointed cheese layer, leaving space for your own filling shapes.
