The hamburger, America's national meal, has always been served during Independence Day cookouts and the competitive-eating portion of presidential debates. Dine on democracy with today's Groupon: for $9, you get a burger dinner for two at jimmyjacks in Bellmore (an $18.47 total value). The meal includes:

• Two burgers (a $4.25 value each)
• Two regular-sized milk shakes (a $2.99 value each)
• One large order of french fries (a $3.99 value)
  
  

Grillmasters at jimmyjacks flip and flame a menu of American comfort fare, including burgers that KJOY 98.3 listeners voted Long Island's best. Owners and sustainability advocates Dan and Dave Morris select fresh, unfrozen beef from a local butcher and welcome daily deliveries of locally baked brioche buns while still saving time to volunteer and help passing breezes become naturalized citizens. Hands artfully shape hearty, 5-ounce patties before throwing their creations on the grill, where fiery chisels continue the transformation from raw ingredients into edible sculptures. Each basket of fries is fried to order instead of lazily tanned beneath blazing heat lamps, and a variety of hand-scooped milk-shake flavors delights taste buds with thick slurps of chocolate for the cocoa lover or black-and-white gulps for Charlie Chaplin aficionados.
