SUMMARY: Slug burgers, a meal originating from the Depression era, have become a local delicacy in Corinth and are celebrated annually at the Slug Burger Festival. Trip Advisor dubs it one of the wackiest summer festivals. Slug burgers are patties made from flour, meal, and meat, fried on a flat top. The 37th festival kicks off this Thursday at 5 PM and concludes late Saturday night. Events include a vendor market, car show, Midway, and nighttime entertainment. The festival significantly boosts the local economy, drawing many to eat, shop, and explore historic downtown Corinth. Reporter Jake White shares his positive experience live.
