Tip: If a burger or pie become difficult to eat, turn them upside down. Repeat as necessary.

Great Veggie Burger Nix.  :like:

I think it's important to have a good seal around the cheese.   :tu:
That could be a motto for life in general.  :think:

my seal looked good, but I still had some leakage during the last 2 minutes of cooking, I stood by watching helplessly as a crack appeared where I made my incisions, but it was still delicious and I added some more cheese to the top....

Am I too late?

It's 1330, 16th of Feb here. What is that your time?

Anyway, this one is what I would call the "inadvisable burger" - most of the key ingredients are near, at, or past their "best before"....(now it's just second best)

Burger is mince with onion and egg, with some black chia mixed in (why not) and enough garlic to wipe out the entire cast of Underworld (just in case the meat was a bit...unusual tasting....)

stacked with fresh tomato, lettuce, mushrooms, bacon, cheddar cheese and fried egg on (unleavened.....) bread. Topped with mayo and tomato relish (and sprinkled with black chia seeds, because why not?)

I forgot the time thing, but there's my watch. I'll have to check the rules and the time zones to see if this even qualifies.

(Once again, CHECK OUT THAT EGG! I'm not saying I'm the best at eggs, but someone bloody well should be!)

BB, that Juicy Lucy looked great. The onion rings were a superb addition in my opinion. Freud will have to get in line, I want the next one!

Sea Monster, I was debating if your entry qualified. It's still the 15th here, but the 16th where you are.  Mrs Nix stepped in and decided that your entry shall be included. I think the little arrow pointing to the burger on the plate in the watch photo won her over.  I also think that because I didn't announce the start time until well into the 1st of January, your time, you should be given credit fo getting your entry in within the specified time period, my time. So, fair play. Oh, and excellent job with the fried egg!   :tu:

Wow, an amazing flurry of last minute entries.

I'll check back in the morning (my time) and see if there are any late and very last minute entries that have been posted. Then we'll do our randomized drawing from this mouthwatering field of burgers.   :tu:

Once again, you guys have made this challenge & GAW a lot of fun. I had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the numerous entries. This thread and you guys prompted me to try a few new things, myself. I hope you guys had as much fun with this as I did.

I can only add, that whoever wins the GAW has really earned the prize. Even so, I can't help feeling that we've all come away with a bit of a win with this one.  You guys are just marvelous.  :salute:

Just one more wee story from my restaurant in Galveston ...... that really made me giggle at the time   :)

The restaurant was actually on a pier that ran from the beach/sea wall out into the Gulf of Mexico - The kitchen was right at the far end
The restaurant was called  The Shrimp Boat - I still have the T-shirt - Happy Days !!   :D
And on our menu, as well as my most excellent burgers, were various seafood dishes including of course ....... shrimp   :salute:

Now anybody who knows Galveston will know it is very famous for its shrimp.
There is a harbour behind the island which houses a shrimp fishing fleet, and every year there is even a Shrimp Festival, where all the boats get dressed up.

I am sure our poor unsuspecting diners imagined the shrimp boats coming alongside the Shrimp Boat pier every moirning and unloading their fresh catch into the restaurant kitchen  :tu:

And now the funny bit .....
All the shrimp we served came out of the freezer ....... and originated from Florida!!

Hilarious!   :rofl:

...........
I did check GoogleMaps and Google recently and could not find the restaurant and possibly not even the pier
I wonder if they did not survive the big hurricane a few years ago.  ???

Oh Boy - That could be it - It certainly looks like the sea wall and the pier! And it even mentions 'my'  hamburgers!!

Thanks for the research NI
