there's a week so... here's hoping
I think you need a beer. That is not the definition of productive.
I've been looking at these for a few days now and finally made my decisions. Really tough call on every single category. Everyone's inventiveness and preparation were clearly evident and presentation was top notch. I'd gladly share a beer or some sweet tea with you guys and sample half of every burger posted. That cheese tho Grant. It freaks me tf out. But I'd still try it!!! 
Greatest TD that I can remember in the time I've been here.

I wasn't going to mention it, but I was originally planning to make mine fully Japanese-themed ... as D3 and Boss both know.
I was planning to stuff it with stonecrab claw meat, diced green hatch chilis, bright orange tobiko, a running perfectly cooked egg, lettuce, tomato and a pickle ...
Clearly that would have had a lot more punchy color to pop within the bun and cheese ...
When wheebz called me on Saturday to see if I would switch to multiple burgers, I changed the plan because Boss said it had to be a clone, and I didn't feel I could pull off the runny yolk on two, well ...
I wasn't going to mention that my plans had to be changed mid-contest, but since people aren't "getting it," maybe now you understand how it came to be ...
The fact that the plans didn't actually change, is even worse, because on Sunday evening when wheebz only posted one burger, I was really thrown ...
Basically wheebz got shit-faced, got skrrrrrd, punked out of truly competing, and still manages to impress 40% of you with a grease-soaked tater tot bun ...
You know what - being frank about it, it ... feels good, man.
Multiple burgers only came up because wheebz wanted to post sliders so I said if all sliders are exactly the same sure otherwise not fair as it's multiple chances against your opponent's one, then you wanted to post two cuz he was, then he posted the beer bottle bowl idea you asked me about, lol... had no idea what was going on with that one... text bromace gone awry.
And you're still shittalking him LOL!

No worries, I called him on the phone about it the other day ...
If that's top-billing wheebz, I'm not impressed ... I say that because I know that it's not.
Always the gamer, I extended the opportunity to rematch whenever =)
Anyone who follows where wheebz and I interact regularly in the brewing areas knows that this is our normal ...
The Hot Pepper said:
also, just for the record, he told me that you said i had to agree to post two if he did two, and that he wanted to do sliders ...
which, you know - sounds like something you would say =)
