Team 58: Tower of Babel Burger

The idea for this contraption came to us from a little joint called The Burgers Priest in Toronto. They call it the Tower of Babel so we blatantly stole the name and the idea and ran with it. For our own consumption only of course!

This is essentially a heart attack on a plate. If you can eat this in one sitting and survive good on you! The only one of us who managed to get it done was Sean you'll see his progress soon!

So basically for this we made a couple of monterey jack grill cheese sandwiches with peppers, ground up a chuck roast and made homemade burgers topped with havarti and finally took a portabello mushroom stuffed it with fontina cheese, breaded it with panko and deep fried it.

The construction is grill cheese, burger, portabello, burger, and finally topped with another grilled cheese. Enjoy.......

First off the portabello mushroom. Take the mushroom and remove the stem. Place a big piece of fontina cheese in and dip it in the breading.

Breading
2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 Cup Corn Starch
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
Salt and Pepper
2 Cups Cold Ale
1 Egg

Just mix it all up and dip the mushroom with the huge slice of cheese in it, then roll it all in panko bread crumbs. Toss it into hot oil (about 350 degrees).

The grilled cheese is just butter on both sides of the bread, monterey jack and habanero peppers on the inside. the burger is fresh home ground chuck fried in butter and topped with havarti cheese

The first grilled cheese topped with a burger, this one didn't have cheese on the burger, the others did.....

Time to add the mushroom.....

And another burger on top. Looking at this looks like we would have to make the burgers bigger if we ever did this again, luckily we probably will never do this again.......
