Another 4th of July where I found a contest to enter kind of last minute. I was in the middle of smoking pork butts, beans, burnt ends and making some sides for a small catering job but just had to get an entry out. Contest required best submission of burgers and dogs using the sponsors rub(s). I won a lot of their rubs in a Superbowl contest and have just started using them. I really like them. Without further delay here is a walk through my insanity lol. Private Selection All Beef jumbo dogs. Split lengthwise and rubbed with Dos Pendejos Poco Loco.

Two half pound 80/20 chuck burgers using their Smokin It (mesquite salt based) and a light coat of Poco Loco.

While these were going I made a couple bacon wrapped Vidalia slices as well. Forgot to snap picks. Time to construct @Sowsage style :) Although I’m keto the sandwich starts on brioche. I’ll be handing this off to my neighbor lol. A little leaf lettuce and the dogs start the show.

Next some white queso and in lieu of chili some of my keto cowboy beans

Burger time! Several slices of nice melted chipotle cheddar.

Time to bring it home with the bacon wrapped Vidalia onion and some fried jalapeños dipped in their Mas Sexy sweet citrus salt.

That’s a wrap. I did have some of the extras on keto bread and it was tasty!! Thanks for looking

WOW!! Chef Jeff does it again!! Simply astonishing my friend. That looks otherworldly. Please keep us posted on the results of your competition.

Fantastic ! . I'd have to un-stack it to eat it , but I know it's good .
You got me with the hot dogs . I did Jeff's spiral cut , rubbed and smoked before . Amazing how good a smoked hot dog is . Nice work as always bud .
 
Hot damn Jeff. How did you do in the contest? I would think the rub company would be pretty damn happy with that finished shot. Excellent. Although I might have to see a cardiologist after eating that thing!
 
That's the manliest burger i have ever seen. Looks like one would need to sleep for about a month after eating that. Gonna have wrap some onions in bacon now. How do you cook those?
 
Everything looks very good.

Do you buy or bake your own keto bread? If you buy it, what brand do you find to be the best? Thanks.

Rob
 
That sure looks delicious.
I'm with @chopsaw though, I'd have to deconstruct it to eat it....
 
Whoa, that is awesome! Well done Jeff!

Also have to agree with @chopsaw as @motocrash pointed out… However, that would be one tasty deconstruction! 😉
