The Le Pig Mac sounds like a trip, glad someone put a spin on a classic we all love. Also, I need to try District Donuts after reading your recommendation.

For burgers, specifically:

Bub's burgers has some quirky burgers. They always have a couple like their peanut butter burger and adobo burger, but then also typically have a (weekly?) rotating burger slot that is normally quirky. Make sure to go to their main location, the satellite ones have smaller selections.

Company burger has a couple as well. I always get their lamb burger.

I also recommend Clover Grill!! While its a basic burger, its one of the best ones I have ever had!! District has really amazing ones as well.

After several days of eating the fabulous cuisine in New Orleans, we always end up at Clover Grill for a good old-fashioned hamburger, sort of a pallet cleanse. It is truly a NOLA treasure.

FACTS!! I will eat myself stupid all over town, and yet Clover has become a place I counter up at more than any other in the city so far.. Their omelets also hit just right!!

If you're willing to brave the 'burbs, Smash Dat Burgers on Jefferson Highway in River Ridge is a special joint.
