There can never be enough burger joints, Burgerim gets that. That's why the chain will be launching locations all across the Tampa Bay area this year.

So why the hype? Rather than fat burgers, Burgerim is known for its selection of three-ounce sliders stacked with signature sauces and premium toppings. One of which is the Dry-Aged Beef burger, featuring a three-ounce patty smothered in barbecue sauce and topped with onion rings, bacon, and cheddar cheese. The joint also accommodates vegetarians with bites like the Falafel burger, a quarter pound patty stacked with tahini, baby greens, pickles, shaved onions and Roma tomatoes.

The restaurant will also offer wings, salads and chicken strips.

Burgerim was launched in Tel Aviv in 2011, and now has headquarters in California, with franchise locations popping up all over the nation.

According to the restaurant's website, locations are coming to the following addresses:

3699 W Gandy Blvd., Tampa

800 N. Franklin St., Tampa

100 1st Ave. N., Unit 2, St. Pete

2561 Countryside Blvd, Suite 4, Clearwater

505 Gulfview Blvd., Suite B, Clearwater

Now we wait patiently to get our hands on one of the signature sliders. More details to come as opening dates for locations are announced.
