While the idea of combining peanut butter with beef may seem bizarre, that is exactly what the Portland burger chain Killer Burger is doing. With its aptly named Peanut-Butter-Pickle-Bacon burger, the restaurant is dishing up a completely unexpected flavor combination.

The Peanut-Butter-Pickle-Bacon burger is an indulgent dish that combines multiple different textures and flavors for a one-of-a-kind burger experience. The chain starts with a 1/3 pound 100 percent beef patty, which is then slathered in [creamy peanut butter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flavourmingle-spicy-peanut-butter), [crispy bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roasted-garlic-bacon-pub-burger) and a [crunchy dill pickle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triple-pickle-mccrispy) for the ultimate trio of textures. Though unusual, the ingredients create the perfect blend of nutty, salty, and savory, to help enhance the taste of the meat itself.

With a growing number of consumers looking for unique takes on the humble burger, this nutty version is an unexpectedly tasty option.
