Lately I've been making burgers for myself because they are pretty cheap and easy to make. The problem is, I don't know much about making them taste good, so my few experiments with making them usually end up pretty bland.
I could just search the internet for recipes, but where's the fun in that? I decided I'd do a contest.
Here's the official rules:
Entry
To enter, post a recipe for making hamburgers in this thread. Any recipes posted in other threads will be ignored. If your recipe is some kind of secret and you don't want to post it, PM it and make a post that says you sent an entry. I will not disclose any secrets. Multiple entries are allowed. The judging begins when two members have posted recipes. Entries will be accepted until judging ends. Judging will end and no further entries will be accepted one week after all posted recipes have been judged.
Judging
The official judge of the contest is AtmaWeapon. After there are two competing members, judging will begin. If googling for "hamburger recipe" and various other phrases (but not googling for the recipe itself) reveals the recipe has been copied, this will lower the decision of your entry. If it is determined the recipe is a veiled attempt to make me eat something unhealthy or horrible, the entry, and possibly all entried by the member, will be disqualified. If ingredients for the recipe prove difficult to find, the entry may not be judged. I shall prepare the burger according to the recipe and eat it. A small review of the burger will be posted. When all entries have been tasted, I will determine the recipe that tastes the best. This may require an extra round of judging. After judging completes, prizes will be distributed.
Prizes
The member who submits the winning entry will receive a prize of approximately $20 in value, along with some form of certificate acknowledging the accomplishment. In the event of a tie, two prizes will be distributed. I originally thought of just giving money via PayPal, but I realize this is not ideal for many people. The prize and its method of delivery will be negotiated with the winner. Discussion of the prize within this thread is welcome. If members agree on a prize before the contest is terminated, that prize will become the official prize of the contest. Keep in mind the person purchasing the prize is under 21 and cannot purchase some things. There may or may not be a secondary prize. This prize and the conditions for receiving it will be determined by me. Bribes are appreciated and welcome, but will not affect the judgement of the entry.
Entry Information
I buy ground sirloin in 1 lb. units. If your recipe requires special meat or a different amount, please indicate so. If some ingredients are difficult to find, suggest places to find them. All entries will be cooked on a George Foreman's (lots of words) grill, as it is the only cooking instrument I have for making burgers. If your recipe relies on the taste of some specialized method of cooking, this will be considered while judging. Turkey meat is available and entries that use turkey instead of beef will be accepted.
The rules are subject to change at my discretion, as the internet is very good at fouling good ideas up. :p
