If you believe cheeseburgers are a food group, the Oinkster’s sixth annual Burger Week is for you.

For the past five years, chef Andre Guerrero has devoted an entire week to wacky burgers at the Oinkster in Eagle Rock. It’s seven days of fully loaded burgers and sandwiches topped with everything from cranberry gastrique to blue cheese spread.

Starting Monday, this year’s burger week is an homage to the city of Los Angeles. Here’s what you can look forward to next week:
