Burger Challenge

Can you improve and enhance one of the most popular food offers in the world?

Competitors had 45 minutes to produce two portions with a twist on the recognised burger offer.

You may use any main filling and ingredients you wish; however, the burger must be served in the conventional manner between a baked bread style product of your choice. It may be served plated or ready to take away on your choice of carrier. 
Be innovative with your fillings which can be meat, fish, vegetarian or vegan. 
The burger must be of a size that can be picked up and eaten by hand.
