Bar Luca—a cozy restaurant in Sydney, Australia—has come up with a clever and eclectic way to honor late actor Gene Wilder, who passed of complications from Alzheimer’s disease just last week. 

The Aussie eatery created the $16 rainbow burgers following the actor's chronicled passion for "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (according to a statement by nephew Jordan Walker Pearlman, Wilder passed while listening to the song) and named them Beauregard Burgers after Violet's last name in one of Wilder's most celebrated films, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Check out Beauregarde's iconic scene right here.

Boasting a custom rainbow milk bun, a beef patty, popping cheese (according to Buzzfeed, cheddar cheese topped with popping candy), tomato soup jelly, blueberry onion jam, fried potatoes and a mysterious "Wonka sauce," the sandwich will be available through this upcoming Saturday.

According to the restaurant's head chef Sarah Robbins, the Wonka-inspired concoction "tastes a little sweet and a little savory."

And, to add yet another layer of creativity to the foodie undertaking, the restaurant has included golden tickets inside 16 of the offered burgers, each offering free burgers to the lucky winner and a friend. The grand prize? Free burgers for a year.
