From reading the comments I just want to make some of my own. I was under the impression that all 4 ingredients had to be incorporated into the entrée, app, or desert. I wanted to do boneless roasted ducks stuffed with chorizo polenta topped with mushroom/stout reduction and serve with a side of peppermint candied sweet potatoes, but I was under the impression that I had to incorporate all 4 ingredients in one aspect, if you will. I guess I need clarification. Second, I read some comments about smothering with cheese to hide toppings, etc. I prepared the dish as I would serve it in a restaurant. Even though I wanted people to see the reduction, I figured the cheese smothered on top was the more attractive option. The ingredients did all pull together greatly in this dish and the burger was damn solid.

I think it is up to the chef how they want to incorporate the ingredients.

I personally think it shows much more understanding of the ingredients if you are able to incorporate all of them into a singular item and make it not be disgusting much less as appetizing as yours looked.

Me, too. I was on the fence on submitting an entry, but I was sick all weekend and just didn't have the energy or motivation after that.

I was going to prepare Chorizo and Shitake mushroom enchiladas with a chocolate peppermint stout mole sauce.

ETA: Garnished with peppermint bacon and those little beer beads... Yeah, that's it...

I made that comment originally, and it was tongue in cheek. I voted for your's and thought everything you did warranted the highest of accolades. I'd work over that burger in a heartbeat.

I have a pic of it cut open after I smashed it down and was about to dig in. It's not a good pic by any means, but I forgot to get a cross cut section so I hurried and grabbed the camera.
