The Pastrami Burger ($15) - Calling all carnivores! Not for the faint of stomach, this bad boy boasts a double-whammy of meaty goodness, with 1/3 lb. Angus patty layered with 11-day house pastrami, plus Swiss cheese and Russian dressing, all on a Parker bun.

And at Los Olivos at 8549 Irvine Center Drive in Irvine. 949.502.5998.
Burntzilla
The Crossover Burger: This special burger was created in honor of a loyal regular customer, who also happens to be a sought-after NBA trainer (Jordan Lawley) who burns 5,000 calories a day, so he fuels up on plenty of burgers at Burntzilla and Burnt Crumbs. He ate there so much the restaurant owners decided to collaborate with Jordan to create his own burger and they put it on the menu. It’s now one of the most popular burgers at Burntzilla! The Crossover burger features a 1/3-lb steak-blend patty with cheddar cheese, fresh guacamole, applewood smoked bacon, a Tapatio and lime aioli + a sunny side up fried egg, all nestled in a sweet Hawaiian bun.
14413 Culver Drive in Irvine. 949.392.5995.
