Tips for a Great GatlinBURGER Experience
Not exactly sure what steps to follow to have the full GatlinBURGER experience and win those cool prizes? Let us help by walking you through step by step.
TIP 1
1. Download the App and Use the Passport
The restaurants participating in GatlinBURGER Week will only have their special burger for a limited time of 7 days - September 17 - 23. Each participating restaurant, which is listed in the GatlinBURGER Passport, has a name and description of their unique, special burger that CANNOT be found on their menu so be sure to give the name of the special burger to the server when you order at the restaurant. You must order the special burger from participating restaurants to qualify for prizes, so be sure to download the app and use the Passport to find the restaurants and their special burgers. You will need to create an account in the app to see the restaurants & be able to check-in.

2. Take a Photo BEFORE Your First Bite
This next step will be tough - you just need a little patience. Before you take that first bite of your delicious burger (I know it's hard to resist), make sure to check in on the app. Go to the GatlinBURGER Passport, locate the restaurant listing under Participating Restaurants, tap Check-in, upload your burger photo, geotag the location and tap the "Check In" button. Whew, now you can eat! Trust us - it's worth the wait.

3. Sharing is Caring
No, you don't have to share a bite of your delicious burger, but you do have to share your burger photo or video to your favorite social media account. Just be sure to tag the restaurant location and use #GatlinBURGER so you can win some really cool prizes! Feel free to tag @VisitGatlinburg too!
