Peanut butter and jelly on a burger? Oh honey, I'm just gettin' started! In honor of the Second Annual Burger Week here in Long Beach, I am learning about some burger joints that I didn't even know existed AND, learning how bringing some seemingly WRONG ingredients into the equation, some of these places have carved out a niche for themselves by daring to to stray from the typcial burger. Thank you Keep reading to learn how Long Beach is on trend and leading the pack with some awesome burgers... Oh, and yes, VEGANS ARE WELCOME!

Here Are Three distinctive burgers being served during Long Beach Burger Week! The Poutine Burger at Sideburns by The Stache, 939 E. 4th St., 562-606-2529 or thestachebar.com Details: Poutine is a Canadian dish made of French fries and cheese curds topped with brown gravy. Brett Gallo, owner of Sideburns by The Stache, already had burgers, poutine and cheese curds separately on the menu, so he decided to just put them all together. “We decided to chargrill this burger, add some caramelized onions and melt the cheese curds while the burger is cooking on the grill,” he said. It’s all then topped with fries and gravy.   “The first thing that hits you is the savoriness of the gravy, then the melted cheese hits you next with the chargrilled burger and then the fries just bring it all together,” he said. Cost: $10   Burger With Oyster Mushrooms Berlin Bistro, 420 E. 4th St. 562-435-0600, or online at www.berlinbistro.com Robert Fry, the executive chef at Berlin Bistro, made the decision to prepare vegan burgers using some of the mushrooms he buys from the Santa Monica Farmer's Market and Long Beach Mushrooms, a small local farm. Low-heat roasting is used to cook the mushrooms, which are then combined with flavorful herbs, spices, pickled chiles, and served between two vegan potato buns. "What you're going to get is the mushrooms' intense flavors, which also have a meaty feel to them. So, expect a highly delicious flavor, according to Fry. You'll think you're going to eat natural meat, so to speak. Cost: $15           PB&J Burger with a drink at Portuguese Bend Distillery 300 The Promenade North  www.portuguesebenddistilling.com And... saving what most probably HAS to be the most outragious...A burger with peanut butter and jelly? A nice drink is also included with this burger combo. The burgers are designed to be served with a beverage at the downtown Long Beach restaurant and distillery, which is renowned for its specialty cocktail menu. Therefore, Simon Haxton, owner and distiller of Portuguese Bend, devised a burger for burger week that had pickles, grilled onions, and pomegranate and chipotle jelly combined with peanut butter. Instead of using cheese, he claimed, "the peanut butter itself gives it a little more layer of umami and richness."  Served with a black Manhattan cocktail brewed with in-house High Rye bourbon and walnut liqueur created from California black walnuts. The cocktail has a jammy flavor that will go well with peanut butter and jelly, according to Haxton. Price: $25 with the aforementioned drinkie poo! Still got room for more burger adventures...
