Pride Month's Must-Try Burger:
The "Pride Burger" at Agadir, a special collaboration with Tom Snaid, is Israel's first pride-themed burger. The colorful and meaningful creation celebrates Pride Month, offering a unique gastronomic experience. Besides the burger, Agadir and Snaid will host a podcast series featuring interviews with prominent LGBTQ+ figures, discussing pride while enjoying burgers. Launched in a year without a Tel Aviv Pride Parade, this initiative aims to boost morale, honor the LGBTQ+ community, and remind everyone of the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ+ rights throughout the year. Influencers and notable LGBTQ+ personalities are part of the campaign, with a portion of proceeds donated to "Beit Dror," a shelter for at-risk LGBTQ+ youth.
