The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
You read that headline correctly… A burger topped with deep-fried beer exists. The Beerger was created by Philadelphia restaurant, and noted burger bastardizers, PYT.
The Beerger, which you must be 21 or older to order, contains its requisite slab of meat — but with the added bonus of pretzel-coated and deep-fried PBR. Meanwhile, burger purists can already be heard groaning, while a line of hipsters is probably already forming in front of PYT.

If beef isn’t your thing, and you take your protein via bug, there’s The Grass-Whopper. Far from it’s fast food counterpart, The Whopper, the Grass-Whopper is made with crickets for some crunchy burger goodness.
The cricket burger is available at Soho, NYC restaurant Antojeria la Popular. Chirp, chirp.

If you’ve never watched Bob’s Burger, or just haven’t paid much attention to the running gag of ‘Burger of The Day’ — then The Bob’s Burger Experiment won’t make any sense, and we feel sorry for you. For those in the know, the Tumblr site looks to recreate each pun-fueled burger from Bob’s chalkboard.
The results are nothing short of awesome, albeit a bit questionable in the taste department. However, the “Don’t You Four Cheddar Bout Me” looks delightful.
As we’ve discussed previously… Bread had a good run, but it’s no longer suitable to cover a burger anymore. Enter, The Deep-Fried Twinkie Burger.
Brought to us by PYT in Philadelphia, two cream-filled spongecakes are battered, fried and used as a bun. The burger itself is a 50-50 pork belly and beef patty, topped with bacon and American cheese. So basically, it will kill you on the spot. But hey, Twinkies are back!
We once featured a burger with a pentagram on it that cost $666. Now, that may only be the second most sacrilegious cheeseburger ever. The Ghost Burger, by Chicago restaurant Kuma’s Corner, is a communion-themed cheeseburger topped with a red wine reduction (the blood of christ) and a communion wafer (the body).
And, because burgers are now capable of offending people, there are a few that are not too pleased.
The burger was originally created in honor of the Swedish band Ghost, as Kuma’s Corner is a heavy metal-inspired restaurant. Fans can receive the Ghost Burger at Kuma’s Belmont location until the end of October.
