• Grill the burgers about 6 minutes per side for medium well. Top each with a slice of cheese and let melt, about 2 more minutes. Meanwhile, lightly toast the buns on the grill.

FAT DOUG BURGER

Steps:

• Prepare the slaw: In a medium bowl, mix together the cabbage, garlic, onion, jalapeno, vinegar, mustard, mayonnaise, sugar, salt, Worcestershire sauce and ShaSha Sauce. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
• Make the burgers: Build a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill. On a work surface, combine the meats and form the burgers into 4 equal-size patties. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
• Grill the burgers over high heat until medium rare, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Place 4 heaping piles of pastrami in the pan. After 2 minutes, top each pile with a slice of Swiss cheese. Remove them when the cheese is melted; set aside.
• Pour the butter into the pan. Place the buns in the pan, cut-side down, and toast, about 2 minutes.
• Place a heaping tablespoonful of the slaw on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a burger and a mound of pastrami and cheese. Cover each with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
• In a food processor, puree the peppers, garlic, mustard and vinegar.
• Pour the puree into a nonreactive saucepan, then add the sugar and bring it to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat and simmer the mixture for 30 minutes.
• In a small bowl or juice glass, mix the flour and 1/2 cup water to make a smooth paste. Whisk it into the pepper mixture and continue to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring regularly, until it becomes very thick. Let the sauce cool, then pour it into a covered nonreactive container (such as a glass jar). The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 month.

FATBURGER'S BEEFBURGER

Steps:

• Form the ground beef into a patty that is about 1 inch wider than the circumference of the hamburger bun.
• Preheat a non-stick frying pan to medium/high heat. Fry the patty in the pan for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until done. Season both sides of the beef with seasoned salt and ground black pepper.
• As the meat cooks prepare the bun by spreading approximately 1/2 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the face of the top bun. Place the lettuce on the mayonnaise, followed by the tomato slice.
• When the beef is done place the patty on the bottom bun. Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of mustard over the top of the beef patty. Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of relish over the mustard. Sprinkle the chopped onion onto the relish. Arrange the pickles on the chopped onion.
• Bring the two halves of the burger together and serve with gumption.
