LDHS - first off, I give you my bonus points for 1) fair use of Bacardi, 2) wiggling some pasta in there!, and 3) CHEEZ!!!!! I love that you said it's something you'd make again! I was going to subtract a point for the lentils (never have met a lentil I liked), but darned if you didn't make even those little nasties look GOOD!!!!!! A+ my friend!!!!!! :)

So far...LDHS:

+1 for movie reference
+1 for use of one of my favorite rums...Bac. Sel.
+1 for use of lentils...and personal fav.
+1 for a damn fine looking concoction
+1 for SKIPPING THE 90DAMN PINEAPPLE!!!

OK...the real deal...

And the buns...OOOHHHH the buns...

i used a bread recipe and added 1/4 amount of cornmeal, half the yeast (for a little low-rise action), some garlic powder, diced caribbean reds, and leeks...I brushed melted butter on top, and added sesame seeds...but the little bastards fell off out of the oven...

I'm going to have to get weird up in here!

...and that's different from every day how exactly?
:dance:

Damn fine looking burgers LB, I just wish I liked mishrooms. That actually made it hard when I was veggie - so many veggie dishes use mushies. Sigh...I can eat em but the flavor is odd to me. Shiitakes are about the only fungus I can do.

Still - they look very moist & the buns look terrific! I'd eat em, just mushies aren't my favorite is all.
 
Ingreds. Well most of 'em anyhoo.

The Spicy Mexican

Sourdough Cheesy Corn Bread: High gluten white flour, sourdough starter, creamed corn, 7 dried and crushed birds eye chillies, cheese, salt, fresh cracked black pepper and water. I went with 70% hydration, which makes it a pain to work with but results in good crumb. Lightly mix 3 minutes and autolyse (flour and water getting happy) 20 minutes. Proof 20 minutes then fold, repeat 2 more times. Flatten dough, add cheese, roll, flatten and roll. Divide and shape rolls and proof until over double in size. Bake with steam for first 10 minutes at 240 C then lower heat to 200 C for 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes. Slice and grill on hot CI.

Guacamole: Avocado, lime juice, salt, pepper. Mush ‘n’ mix.

Frijoles Refritos Patty: 400g can Kidney Beans mashed, 4 diced and sautéed mushrooms, egg yolk and breadcrumb binder, salt, cayenne pepper. Form into a monster patty, firm in the fridge for 10 minutes and grill on hot C.I. for 3 - 4 minutes each side.
Add cheese slice and dome, rest off the heat for 3 minutes.
Layer some chargrilled capsicum (bell pepper)
Add a liberal squirt of Cholula Hot Sauce.

Salsa Picada: Finely diced tomato, onion, jalapeno, coriander (cilantro) and lime juice. Mix.
Top with natural yoghurt.

I was thinking "Mexican" when I first saw your ingredients - NICE!

Just a tad more for now. The makings of cream puff pastry dough:

Flour, salt, water, chipotle chile powder, mace, cinnamon, butter, eggs:

Anyone who's made this dough before knows it's a high-intensity prep, so no more pics until later.

Are ya feelin' it yet???

Not sure if I'll be adding more to this or not, kinda in the dark on this one. Just hope its tasty. Just got home from a 13 hour shift, but I'm not pulling no LDHS. :)
 
Cook'em yo...I used butter...but the whole time...was thinking bacon grease would really be tha sheeyott.

I was thinking the same thing for my burger. I'm pretty sure some bacon fat leached out of the cast iron pan I was using. ;) Ssssshhhhhhhhh!!!
