- Add 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons brown sugar to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer just until the consistency of syrup (it will thicken upon standing). Remove from heat. If Reduction thickens before you use it, then stir in a little water and reheat in the pan.

Steps:
- Lay the bacon in a medium cast-iron skillet and cook over medium heat, turning once, until golden and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and pour off some of the bacon drippings, leaving enough in the pan to just cover the bottom.
- From the top and 3 sides of the head of lettuce, cut 4 thick round slices, each 4 to 5 inches across, to use as buns and set aside. (Chop up and reserve the remaining "square" of lettuce for salads or another use.)
- Shape the ground beef into 2 patties, each about 4 inches across and 3/4 inch thick, and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the skillet over high heat and once hot, add the patties and cook for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Lay a lettuce "bun" cut-side up on each of 2 plates and top each with a burger patty. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the dressing over each burger and top each with half of the onion, 1 slice of the tomato and 2 pieces of the bacon. Top with the remaining lettuce buns.

Steps:
- Make the balsamic glaze by putting the balsamic vinegar in a saucepan and heating it over medium until it is reduced by half. Make the dressing. Combine mayonnaise, and buttermilk, mixing well. Add remaining ingredients mixing thoroughly. Must refrigerate for 24 hours before serving for best flavor. For the salad assembly, divide iceberg lettuce head into four equal sections, cutting down towards the stem. Place on plates, topping liberally with the blue cheese dressing, crumbled bacon, onion, pecans, chopped tomato and crumbled blue cheese. Top with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Just a little bit. Serve nice and cold, adding salt and pepper to taste. . **If you don't have buttermilk, and really, who does? You can take a cup of regular milk and add 1 3/4 tsp of cream of tartar - whisk it together and viola! Buttermilk. Lemon juice also works in lieu of cream of tartar.
