I like to mix in blue or gorgonzola or feta cheese with meat. Serve topped with bacon. Serve on cibatta bread. Make a garlic aoili. Or just roast garlic in oven  wrapped in foil and some olive oil until soft. Make a paste and mix in with mayo and spread on bun.

I"LL add, tobasco sauce, garlic powder, chili powder, nutmeg,  salt pepper oregano to taste depending on recipe.

Salt and pepper only.....I've been eating elk burger lately and do not like to add anything to it because I want the real flavor with nothing masking it.  Elk meat comes in a limited supply.  I don't even serve them on a bun, but fry them up and eat like a steak on a plate served with whatever.

Put the meat in a collander in the refrigerator and put a bowl underneath to catch the blood.  I cover the meat with a sheet of saran wrap.  About an hour before you plan to eat divide the meat into equal size portions.  I usually make mine slightly smaller than a baseball.  Then I press each ball of meat by hand between 2 sheets of wax paper to make patties about 1/2 inch thick.  Season both sides. . . I usually use pepper, salt, montreal steak, creole seasoning, or some combination of the above.  I barbecue on high heat and make sure the grill is clean.  Take care at 2 points: (1) when you first transfer the meat from the wax paper to the grill and (2) when you flip the burgers.  The burger will seem a little crumbly at these times and you don't want to tear the patties apart.  I grill about 2 minutes per side, 3 at the most.  I like to serve these on a good toasted bun along with the usual toppings. 

Since I discovered that draining the blood will help keep the patty from falling apart I no longer add pork to my elk burger and I like the above recipe much better than beef burgers.

Good luck, you're serving the best organic meat there is, hope your chef friend enjoys!

A buddy and i ground some of his deer meat with 10% bacon ends, 90% venison and they made hands down the BEST burgers I've had, period. Just enough fat to keep everything together and fantastic flavor.
