I didn't get any pics of the process, but I got the finished product.
Patties made from 1 lb ground sirloin & 1 lb ground pork to add juiciness. Mixed in wth chopped onion, red chilis, garlic, kosher salt, fresh cracked red,green, and black peppercorns....
bacon cooked on the grill coated with fresh cracked black pepper
Baby swiss cheese, topped with home grown creole tomatoes, sauteed onions and shrooms, pickles, and green skin avacado.
All stacked on a bun toasted on the grill. Gotta have a toasted bun!
Grilled jalapenos stuffed with havarti cheese on the side. Unfortunately, a lot of said cheese bubbled out during cooking.
Note: those split 'maters in the background aren't the ones we grew. Those were given to us. Ours can be seen sliced on the plate!

thats how i like my burgers" well done!" no cold meat here! you might here some slagey slag from these yuppie cooks on here. but im here to tell ya that i would worm across a table full of those burgers 
Phuckin A, Phil!!!! Nice job!!!
And those maters look great with it!!!!
I wouldn't call those "well done". And with pork in the grind (which is a good call), you don't want to leave it too rare.
I know they changed the regulations on pork, but I still don't play around.
Those look perfect, all around!!! Toppings, bread, juicy, greatness!!!!!!

Yep.... all the havarti cheese bubbled out over the top. I had them upright in a pepper rack for the grill.

Well, Dang It, I missed the deadline for my Extreme Burger so figured this would be the best place to post it up. It was a really great combo of flavors based on the Lebanese foods that we love when my wife's family gets together.
Kibbeh (Meat):
Ground Lamb
Lean Ground Beef
Bulgar Wheat
Sweet Onion
Cinnamon
Salt
Normally we get lean roasts and run it through the grinder but we didn't have one so used already ground meats and ran everything through the Food Processor. First we mixed the onion and cinnamon together then added the Bulgar wheat and meats till it was all combined and the seasoning was right. I also added some egg to the mix to help bind it all together.
Tabouli:
1 cup water
1 cup bulgar wheat
1 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup minced fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
3 tomatoes, diced
2 cucumbers, seeded and diced
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice, or to taste
1 teaspoons sea salt
Mix the water and wheat together till the water is completely absorbed. Add the rest of the ingredients together and mix well then refrigerate till ready to serve.
Labneh:
Large container of Plain Greek Yogurt
Can Chipotles in Adobo Sauce
Line a wire mesh strainer with some cheese cloth or a coffee filter and dump the yogurt into it and allow it to drain overnight. When it has finished dump the Chipotles into a food processor and process till it's just a sauce. Add the labneh and blend till well mixed.
Lebanese Potato Salad:
2 pounds Russet Potatoes, medium diced
4 Scallions, sliced thin
1/4 cup Lemon Juice
3 Tbs Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Fresh Mint, minced
2 Jalapenos, chopped
Boil potatoes about 30 minuted till done then run under cold water to stop cooking. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix till all potatoes are well coated.
Using the small Pita bread for buns assemble
Bun, Kibbeh patty, Tabouli, Fetta crumbles, Labneh spread on top
Really amazingly good Burger!!

Really amazingly good Burger!!
So bummed this didn't get into the TD! What a beautiful blend of fresh and summery flavors!!!! I'll bet it was excellent!!!!! Hope you have some leftovers!!!! 
RMx2-- definitely missed in the Extreme Burger TD. That burger looks great. Now I'm craving some Lebanese flavors.
That burger has AWESOME flavors going on. How much did you miss the deadline by?
It's not quite extreme, kibbeh on pita is pretty common but it would have been interesting to see it in the poll.
