Route 66 Burgers

From "Weber's Big Book of Burgers"
Recipe Introduction
Like the great ole highway that stretched from Chicago to Los Angeles, these burgers represent a classic Americana style. If you ever drove Route 66 and ate in mom-and-pop restaurants along the way, you might have had burgers just like these.
List of Ingredients
Sauce:
◦ ⅓ cup mayonnaise
◦ 2 tablespoons ketchup
◦ 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
◦ 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
Patties:
◦ 1� pounds ground chuck (80% lean)
◦ � teaspoon garlic powder
◦ � teaspoon kosher salt
◦ � teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
◦ 4 slices American cheese
◦ 4 hamburger buns, split
◦ 4 leaves Boston lettuce
◦ 1 ripe beefsteak tomato, about 6 ounces, cut crosswise into 4 slices
Recipe
Combine the sauce ingredients.
Mix the patty ingredients, and then gently form four patties of equal size, each about � inch thick. With your thumb or the back of a spoon, make a shallow indentation about 1 inch wide in the center of the patties to prevent them from forming a dome as they cook. Refrigerate the patties until ready to grill.
Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat (400� to 500� F).
Grill the patties over direct medium-high heat, with the lid closed, until cooked to medium doneness (160� F), 8 to 10 minutes, turning once. During the last 30 seconds to 1 minute of grilling time, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt, and toast the buns, cut side down, over direct heat.
Build each burger on a bun with sauce, a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and a patty. Serve warm.
