J. S. Burgers Cafe (Tokyo, Japan)

If it's a truly on-trend burger you're after, head to Japan, where seasonal items are usually the stars of any fast food menu.  This summer, Tokyo's J. S. Cafe has created a full menu of Ghostbusters-themed dishes.  We're most intrigued by the black burger, whose bun gets its intense color from squid ink!  As if that weren't already enough to tempt you, the burger itself is topped with a black olive and anchovy spread, red cabbage, cream, and onion rings!
