‘Grill Em All

This metal-themed, meat-slinging burger shop in Long Beach doesn’t serve a single patty that’s not obscenely dressed, and the Napalm Death ($16) tops them all. A medium-rare, half-pound patty gets drenched in gooey pepperjack, pickled jalapeños and cream cheese, then it's all topped off with fried jalapeño poppers and habanero aioli. It’s what we’ll dine on when the valkyries carry us over the rainbow bridge to Valhalla (which may be because it kills us as we’re eating it). Other interesting menu items include the Dee Snider (peanut butter, strawberry jam, bacon, Sriracha) and the jet-black Ozzy Osborne (chimichurri, garlic aioli, blue cheese, onion frizzle, field greens). The new storefront—Grill ’Em All used to be in Alhambra—is also located just steps from the beach, making it the perfect place to take a day trip and unwind with an over-the-top burger.
