Fifth Quadrant’s Beirut Burger is a quarter-pound patty of custom-blended ground beef with spicy red pepper hummus, organic arugula, and tangy goat cheese on a toasted sesame seed bun.

Lompoc Tavern’s Umami Burger features a six-ounce patty of custom blended, all-natural beef topped with an umami spice blend, ginger teriyaki sauce, and sesame slaw. Come get your umami on!

The LSD BBQ Burger at Oaks Bottom Public House gets its name and flavor from the brewery’s Lompoc Special Draft (LSD) Ale. The burger features a seasoned beef patty nestled on a massive scoop of house-made slaw, topped with LSD-dosed onion straws and smothered with LSD BBQ sauce. Served on a pub bun and guaranteed to delight.
