The weekend is almost upon us. And that means it’s almost time for Harley-Davidson's 121st anniversary Homecoming Festival, which takes place July 25-28.
To mark the occasion, Georgie Porgie’s is welcoming riders to Milwaukee with a special limited-release burger. The Mad Hog & Cheese features a Georgie Porgie’s burger patty topped with pulled pork, Wisconsin white macaroni and cheese, bacon, jalapenos and chipotle mayo on a locally-baked bun.
Available through Wednesday, July 31, the Mad Hog & Cheese will be available for $12.99 at both Georgie Porgie’s locations in Oak Creek (9555 S. Howell Ave.) and Mt. Pleasant (5502 Washington Ave.).
Just 20 minutes from Downtown Milwaukee, the Oak Creek location offers indoor seating in a garage-like setting that pays homage to the 30-year tradition of hosting classic car shows at the restaurant every Saturday between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends.
