                2 tablespoons kosher salt 
                1 tablespoon ground black pepper 
                1/2 tablespoon garlic salt 
                1/2 tablespoon onion salt 
                1 teaspoon celery salt 
                8 slices American cheese - 1 slice if any other kind of
                cheese 
                4 sesame hamburger buns, toasted 
                8 leaves iceberg lettuce 
                4 slices tomato, 1/4-inch thick 
                4 slices red onion, 1/4-inch thick 
                4 toothpicks 
                4 pickle spears 
                2 pounds Idaho potatoes, peeled, cut into fries and

                Using a meat grinder with a 3/8-inch plate, grind the
                meat. Change to a 1/8-inch plate, and grind a second
                time. Shape the ground meat into 4 (7-ounce)
                patties. In a mixing bowl, combine the kosher salt,
                pepper, garlic salt, onion salt and celery salt. Mix
                well. Place burger on a hot grill and season with the
                seasoning salt. Cook the burgers halfway to desired
                temperature and flip over and finish cooking. Place
                cheese on the burger when it is 3/4 of the way cooked
                and melt. Place bottom bun on plate. Place burger on
                bottom bun. Place lettuce, tomato and onion on top of
                the burger. Cover with top bun and secure with a
                toothpick. Place pickle next to the burger. Place fries
