Hello everyone! I recently finished up a culinary program and now I am moving on to larger projects. I've had this idea for a long time and its time to make it a reality. I want to make next level burgers and hotdogs. Yes, I know the market is saturated with this specific cuisine, but I want to create something new. Something crazy, never imagined before, with toppings or preparations that no one has seen before. Can anyone give me ideas of crazy toppings or crazy presentations they can think of for burgers and hotdogs. Maybe you've tried a combination that surprised you and you think others might enjoy. You can just throw ideas at me. Of course I have some ideas but I really think the input from others and their opinions is very important. I also just want new ideas and inspiration. Don't be afraid to really go there. Let your imagination run wild. Just throw ideas at me. What do you want to see! Try even thinking of unique fusions of flavors. Please guys, you'd really help out a nice bloke just trying to make it in this competitive field.

Do you put Worcestershire sauce in your burgers? That always adds a kick.

Well, I didn't go to culinary school, I'm a home cook, so I have no idea what to say to that question/plea, other than ...
a) what you don't know already
b) what you haven't tried yourself
c) how much is my intellectual property worth
Sorry, I got bupkis ...

I may be having a Grouchy Old Man moment but why?
A burger is a simple thing. A great burger is still simple with a few simple additions. Making it a foot tall or with avocado or fried eggs or fried chicken or all of the above doesn't make it a better burger.

Two ideas... First, use different meats than beef. This one is a ground pork Thai style burger. A Roo burger is probably way overdone, and mostly for tourists.
Then, different bread. This one uses an "everything" bagel -- and it is ground brisket cooked on a smoker.
No recipes. You gotta' do some of the work if you plan to sell them. And, don't you dare ruin a burger by putting beets on it, like every other burger joint in Australia.
G-day!

It seems like you should be coming up with the new crazy ground breaking ideas instead of relying on others to provide them. 
I agree with Andy, sometimes simple and well prepared is best.

I'm not opposed to giving a fellow cook, even one trying to start a restaurant, some inspiration, but if they use one of my burgers on a restaurant menu, it better be at the least be named the "Caseyburger."
It is perfectly okay to ask, as long as you are willing to give back.
