Best-ever burger with pancetta, avocado and blue cheese butter

How the humble burger has grown up, so discount it at your peril. Food snobs may try to decry, but I think a properly made and grilled burger, with proper add-ons is just about unbeatable - and for me the only way to eat - rare in a bun using your hands!
