Steps:
- Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft and golden, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
- Mix the ground meat with the ketchup, Worcestershire, onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Form the meat into 4 oblong patties in the approximate size and shape of the bread (they should be a little less than 1/2-inch-thick).
- Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until the foam subsides. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until cooked to medium doneness, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Add salt and pepper, if desired. Transfer to a plate.
- Wipe the skillet clean. Butter one side of half of the bread slices, then place them butter-side down in the skillet. Add a slice of cheese on top of each slice of bread, then add the patties and onions. Lay one more slice of cheese on top of the onions, then add the top slices of bread. Butter the top of the bread. Flip the sandwiches and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil. Cook the remaining sandwiches with the remaining butter in the same manner.
- Cut the patty melts in half and serve immediately.

- For the brisket rub: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, paprika, chili powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, celery seed and pink salt.
- For the garlic Parmesan butter: Combine butter, Parmesan and garlic in a bowl.
- For the BBQ sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes. Add the brown sugar, salt, mustard, celery seed and cayenne pepper. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the pineapple juice, vinegar, molasses and tamarind paste and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 1/2 hours.
- For the smoked brisket: Place brisket in a large pan and thoroughly rub both sides with 3 cups brisket rub (save the remainder for another use). Let the brisket marinade, refrigerated, overnight.
- Preheat a smoker to 250 degrees F.
- Smoke brisket until it has a developed crust, 14 to 16 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place brisket in a pot with chicken stock and braise for 1 hour 30 minutes. Shred the meat. Reserve the au jus.

Steps:
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with the vegetable oil in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until the onions are golden and caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the beef, pork, Worcestershire, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form each into a patty in the shape of and a little larger than a slice of the rye bread.
- Add some oil to a large griddle pan and set it over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the burgers in batches if needed, being careful not to crowd the pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Remove the burgers to a platter and cover loosely with foil. Repeat with the remaining burgers if needed.
- Set a large skillet or griddle pan over medium-low heat (or wipe out the griddle pan from the burgers and use that). Butter one side of each slice of rye bread with 1/2 tablespoon of the remaining butter and place the bread slices butter-side down on the griddle. Lay 2 slices of cheese on 6 of the bread slices, then add a burger, one-sixth of the onions and 2 more slices of cheese on top. Place one of the remaining bread slices on top of each sandwich, buttered-side up. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and the bottom cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the sandwiches to toast the other sides and melt the cheese, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a platter and cover loosely with foil.
- Slice each sandwich in half to serve.
