Over 50 Columbus restaurants will take part in Burger & Beer Week

Let's be honest: We don't need an excuse to enjoy a nice burger and a cold one.

Burger & Beer Week, which kicks off today and benefits a local charity, at least gives us another one.

What's happening: Over 50 restaurant locations are participating this year, per the organizers at 614 Media Group.

Proceeds will benefit Star House, a local drop-in shelter for young people experiencing homelessness.

Between the buns: The list includes many gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options.

Our thought bubble: We would probably taste every one of those burgers, if we could.

Alissa is going to try the "Main and Third" burger at Pecan Penny's, which comes topped with onion rings and a fried egg.
Tyler saw aioli on the menu for The Keep Kitchen & Liquor Bar's house burger and that's all he needs to know. (Hold those pickles, though.)
