Have you ever eaten in a restaurant or bought a food product at the store and said to yourself, "heck, I can make something better than this!"? Well, then this contest is for you.
Wendy's is looking for someone to design a new burger for them. You get to choose from a variety of various toppings, cheeses, and sauces. I have to admit that pepperoni on a burger sounds quite good, though I don't know if I'd go with sauerkraut. The winner gets $25,000 and they might add your creation to the regular menu in 2008. Runners up get free burgers for a year! (Wendy's are my favorite fast food burger, I should enter.)
The site says "may we suggest you start your burger the way we start all Wendy's burgers - with a fresh, never frozen, beef patty." What, did we have another option? Heh.

Fresh burger; blue cheese put inside the meat;garlic-herb no-salt seasoning; lettuce/tomato/avocado/sour cream mixed with mustard or ketchup; Call it "The Blu Burger." And, Wendy's is my favorite fastfood burger... Cindi Bench

I'd like your fresh burger patty with a layer of avocado, swiss cheese, soft bacon crumbs, tomato, fresh sprouts, fresh basil and oregano, fresh mushrooms,chopped fresh onion, banana peppers (ringed or chopped), with a choice of dressings. I'd like my dressing made rather like thicker Italian dressing with a touch of mustard- somewhere between a hot Dijon and a Grey Poupon with white wine. Would like it with or without the bun. Hope you get it soon--I'm hungry thinking about it! And thanks for the new Wendy's Batesburg-Leesville opened this past Tues! Have the world premier of the new burger here?

Hey all, enter the contest, don't give your good ideas here for everyone to see and copy. I do like the idea of a turkey burger as no other burger chain has one that I know of. It would be a little more healthy.

I think you should market a burger, made of either chicken or turkey, with onion, lettuce, cheese (optional) and a dressing of cranberry sauce mixed with mayo. Be sure to season the burger with salt pepper and a bit of poultry seasoning prior to cooking it. I make these on my Foreman and they are awesome.

Aside from the nifty prize money, why do we need to figure out what else to throw on a hamburger?
A good burger is thick, juicy and cooked a lot less than they do at any fast food place.
A good burger needs only a dab of mayo, a tomato slice, a bit of lettuce and maybe cheese/pickles/catsup/mustard depending on personal preference.
I guess fast food burgers need all this other gimmicky junk because they're not actually good burgers.
(That said, I sometimes go to McDonalds, but I'm not proud of it. And if you have any taste at all, stay far away from http://crankyfitness.blogspot.com/)

Inside the center of a regular hamburger patty, put a big chunk of garlic butter. You could also add swiss or mushrooms as an option.

We would start off with a fresh, not frozen beef pattie. I then would add a slice of grilled eggplant and a thick slice of grilled red onion. I would next add a fresh green basil leaf. I would spread a semi- hard roll with a dijon mustard and mayo spread. And I would eat my heart out!

I would first start off with your fresh, never frozen beef patty. I next would add a nice slice of grilled eggplant, a beautiful large leaf of fresh basil. A succulent slice of grilled red onion and lightly mayo garlic spread. I would add slice of mozzerella slightly melted on a semi hard roll.
