Make homemade aioli by blending 2 egg yolks, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and juice from 1/2 lemon for 20 seconds.

With the blender on low, drizzle in 2/3 cup of olive oil and blend until emulsified.

Transfer the aioli into a squeeze bottle.

Form a burger patty using 4 oz of 80/20 ground beef, smashing it to the desired thickness between parchment paper.

Preheat the Wildfire griller to medium-high heat.

Cook 3 strips of bacon on the grill until done, then set aside.

In the bacon fat, fry onions until caramelized, adding a little water as needed.

Toast the burger buns with clarified butter on the grill.

Season the burger patty with kosher salt and grill until cooked to desired doneness.

Place a slice of American cheese on the patty to melt before assembling the burger.

Assemble the burger with the patty, bacon, caramelized onions, baby arugula, and aioli, adding ketchup on top.

Finish with a skewer through the center for presentation.
