The Great Glamburger Challenge from The Cheesecake Factory

The Cheesecake Factory founder David Overton usually travels the world to get inspiration for his chain's biannual menu changes, but the latest burger line-up takes its cues from local flavors. The Glamburgers have regional themes (for example, The Memphis Burger comes topped with pulled pork and coleslaw) and aren't shy about adding nontraditional toppings.
Now you can take over his gig when it comes to burgers by participating in The Great Glamburger Challenge before May 31 and coming up with your own Glamburger. Once you submit your burger description and give it a name, you're in the running to be one of the five finalists announced on June 15. If your burger is chosen as the winning Glamburger, it will end up on The Cheesecake Factory menu for a year; plus you get a choice of vacations inspired by the current Glamburgers.
I've already submitted my entry: a Southern California-inspired masterpiece of burger glamor that comes with lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, cheese, and Thousand Island. What did I call it? The Glambuto, of course.
