It's summer in Seattle and barbeque season is upon us. I'm looking for the tastiest, most delicious homemade burger recipe out there. It needs to be an original recipe (not linked or cut and pasted - if I can find it using Google, it's an automatic rejection).

Give me all the details you can - % fat in the meat, ingredients, buns, condiments, cooking time, ideal internal temperature (I own two digital meat thermometers), marinades, time in marinades, type of cheese, etc...

The recipes will be judged via a taste test party in Seattle on 6/23. Send me a message if you want to attend.

I'll call this Taiwan Burger because shallots and five spice powder are very common (favorite) ingredients in Taiwanese cuisine.

Ingredients:
(1) 1 lb ground beef 80% fat free
(2) 4 table spoons of fried shallots slices (can be found in Chinese supermarket. If not, make your own from fresh shallots. )
(3) 3/4 tsp five spice powder (can be found in Chinese supermarket)
(4) 2 table spoons (or to your taste) of soy sauce
(5) 1 table spoon of water
(6) 1 tsp corn starch
(7) lettuce or thinly sliced cucumbers
(8) cilantro
(9) mayonnaise (optional)
(10) sesame seed buns

Mix all ingredients (1) - (6) well. Form into 3 patties.
Grill.
Top the burger with (7) - (9).

Perhaps if you raise enough money you could get a recipe from a top burger place. We have a few good ones in New York City. My favorites are corner bistro, shake shack and the burger joint.
