Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (218.33°C) .
Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Place garlic on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Wrap the garlic in the foil to create a tight pouch, place in the oven, and roast for about 30 to 40 minutes until the garlic cloves are soft.
While the garlic is roasting, prep ingredients.
Preheat a grill or grill pan on medium heat.
Prep vegetables per instruction above.
Prep the corn: Peel away the husks of the corn and remove the stalk end. Rinse to remove any remaining silk.
Prep the burger: In a large bowl, combine red onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Add ground beef to the mixture and gently mix with your hands just until combined, being careful not to overmix. Form the ground beef mixture into evenly sized patties about ¾-inch thick. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to cook.
Make the garlic aioli: Remove from the oven and allow the garlic to cool. Press the bottom of the garlic cloves to remove the garlic pulp from the skin. In a food processor, combine the roasted garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Pulse until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
Preheat the broiler on low.
Place the bacon in a skillet over medium heat. Cook on both sides until golden brown and crispy. Set aside on paper towels to drain excess grease.
Place the corn on the grill, cover with the lid and cook. Turn the corn about every 5 minutes until the corn is tender and has nice grill marks on all sides. Remove from the grill, spread on butter and season with salt and pepper. Cut in half to portion and serve.
Cook burgers on both sides getting a nice crusty char to desired doneness (see below) using a thermometer.
Top the burger with cheese and melt under the broiler.
Lightly toast the buns. Spread the aioli on both halves of the bun or serve on the side. Place the arugula, tomato, burger, and bacon on the bun.
Serve the burgers with buttered corn and lemonade
