Oinkster does Umami, Father's Office & McDonald's for Burger Week

It's a little late for National Hamburger Day, but it's never too late in our book.

From June 6th through June 12th, Eagle Rock pastrami haven and burger barn The Oinkster is hosting its own Burger Week. They're honoring the mighty meat with a burger-a-day tribute to their favorite local eateries, offering their spin on burgers from McDonald's, Tommy's, the Grill 'Em All truck, Father's Office and Umami.

The meatiesta (okay, we tried to combine "meat" and "fiesta," but like Bennifer, it was doomed to failure) culminates on Saturday and Sunday when they serve something called The Oinkster Special. It damn well better be special: It costs $25.

[Note: We recently learned that the $25 burger, which comes with porcini mushrooms, Cambozola cheese, truffle aioli and crispy onions, costs only $9.50. Phew.]

Maybe they should "do" their own burger properly before trying to riff others. Oinkster's popularity makes me feel bad for Eagle Rock.

Perhaps you should be less bitter and soulless.

Don't know what your problem is, but I go to Oinkster specifically for their burger. It's one of my favorite burgers ever.

Wow, that sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

cannot see why there is a lawsuit... unless someone sues due to being a fatty.

I hope the "Oinkster Special" is going to look a lot like the "Hawkins Special" from Hawkins House of Burgers in Watts.

Does Oinkster have someone ready to enforce posture, diction, and toenail-paint rules when they serve the Father Sophist burger during the meatfesta? People laughed at Sang Yoon until they realized how much Devil is in the details.
