Sep. 16—Sunday is National Cheeseburger Day and there are many ways to celebrate.

In addition to its existing lineup of burgers — including the Fresno fig, double smash, bison, cowboy, jalapeno egg and classic American cheeseburger — Eureka! will serve a fire alarm burger. The burger is topped with Fresno chile mac and cheese, firecracker sauce, smoked bacon and horseradish mustard aioli.

All the chain's beef burgers used Santa Carota beef, raised on a ranch in the lower foothills of majestic Breckenridge Mountain, east of Bakersfield.

Battle the fiery flavors now through Sept. 28.

Starting Oct. 6, diners can also raise the heat factor with scary hot fries, which are tossed in a "painfully addicting" ghost pepper spice blend, then topped with cheeses, bacon and chipotle aioli.

Gear up for spooky season with the Chasing Ghosts cocktail, made with Del Maguey Mezcal, coconut milk, orgeat almond syrup and ghost pepper tincture. It will be served from Oct. 6 through Nov. 2.

Eureka! is at 10520 Stockdale Highway.
