*Onion ring recipe adapted from Serious Eats
Put the onion rings into the buttermilk and season with salt and pepper. Allow to rest for 2 hours
Preheat oil in a large cast iron pan to 350
put 1/2 cup of flour in a bowl and season with salt
Mix the rest of the flour with the cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, beer, and vodka.
Remove one onion ring from the buttermilk and dip in the flour, then in the batter. Allow the excess batter to fall from the onion, then drop it into the oil. Cook for about 2 minutes, flipping once, to brown. Remove from the oil to a drying rack and repeat until you do all the onions.

As you are finishing the last of the rings, start cooking the bacon in a large frying pan. Remove the bacon onto the drying rack with the onion rings.
Add the BUBBA Burgers to the pan with the bacon grease. Season with salt and pepper and cover and cook on medium heat until you see the juices pooling at the top of the burger, about 5-8 minutes.
Flip the burgers and top with the cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted and the burger has reached your desired internal temperature.
Put the bottom toasted buns down and top with some mayo and bbq sauce. Add the burgers next, then the bacon, then the onion rings. Finally add the cotton candy and top bun. Serve immediately!
