Pig Out! The Oinkster's Burger Week Returns June 4-10
It rocked our tastebuds last year, and now it's back: The Oinkster's Burger Week will showcase the popular Eagle Rock eatery's take on beloved burgers with a new creation every day from June 4-10.
The Oinkster went social media style and pooled the experts: Their burger-lovin' Facebook fans. They came up with seven different classic American burgers to take on and serve up for seven juicy days.
Here's the schedule:
Monday - Red Castle Sliders (White Castle Sliders)
Tuesday - 2 x 4 Piggy Style optional (Double Double)
Wednesday - Northeast Bacon Cheeseburger (Bacon Western Cheeseburger)
Thursday - Grill Em’ All Takeover
Friday - Sourdough Josh (Sourdough Jack)
Saturday Pork Adobo Burger
Sunday The Big Max
With each burger purchase, customers will get a special pin, and, for those brave enough to chow down on all seven you'll be rewarded with a limited edition Burger Week T-Shirt. To keep up with the artistic motif, Monday is the release of a zine called "Pig Candy 2" that will feature artists like Paul Frank, Travis Millard, Sage Vaughn, Erin Garcia, Hassan Rahim, Jon Vermilyea, Hot Knives, Tom Haubrick, Ken Garduno, and more and their burger-inspired artwork.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
