 Topic: Best Tasting F/FBurger ??
Posted: 26 Jun 2022 at 5:19pm |
My "go-to" is the DQ "non bastarrdized" basic single/double/triple burgers, but BK has an awesome line-up of simple burgers also  . McDonalds burgers are "tolerable-at best" IMO

No I am Not. Do NOT waste my money on flash frozen who knows where came from ?Meat?
We generally delve into burgers at a local Ice Cream and Deli shop here, nothing better than Local Fresh Beef. Have several shops that specialize in butchering and smoking meat so they are go to for other type sandwiches. On the Road we do NOT use FF, find a REAL Food Shop.

I don't eat any fast-food burger when i go out. Very rarely do we eat fast food unless it is a necessity. Raise my own beef, chicken, turkey and guineas. Buy pork loins on sale and cut my own boneless chops. Was reading an "expert" review the other day and Burger King had the highest rated beef for flavor. Most of the beef for fast food burgers comes from old cows mostly dairy cows. Five guys have about the best burgers but they are pricey, but I have never minded paying for quality.

I like Steak ‘n Shake and I like some Sonic burgers.
I can go to the Ozark Cafe and get a very good burger , tots and semesters tea for less than a ff joint and much better and very good service.

Mc Donald's Quarter Pounder Deluxe is probably at the top with a Culver's Single Deluxe a close 2nd.
Hardee's Original Angus Burger is up there also but my local Hardee's closes at 2:00pm due to staffing issues, I get off work at 4:30. Burger King's Whopper tastes good at first but a 1/2 hour later I am burping/belching up the "Flame Broiled" taste.

I don't eat any of that to speak of. 1 or 2 times a year. Best one I ever had was in a local bowling alley.

The Coffee Shop in the little town near me has a real good Cheese burger. Culver's has a good hamburger. Then it's all downhill from there with the rest of the burger joints.I have found good hamburgers in Bars,American Legion Halls and people's backyards!

Do any of you guys butcher your own beef ? Is any of it frozen ? I can't justify Culvers burger $$ for "as-good" of tasting burgers from other FF places

We raise beef. Burger is in a chest freezer for sometimes over a year, and it's fine. HOWEVER, this is in bulk 1 pound or 2 pound packages. IF we have patties made, they don't last as long, and IF you're dumb enough to put meat in a frost free freezer it isn't going to hold up very well.

We used to have a beef butchered at a local shop when our kids were little. Buy one from a local farmer. Would last us a year. $1000 total. That was when it was cost effective. Not so much anymore. Bought a half a beef at the start of covid. $2200 and that was a good price. No more steaks now. Buy burger in bulk and package it myself. Eat more chicken and pork on sale. Smoked a pork shoulder last weekend. Been 10 years since I did that. I still have the touch seems from what the wife said.
Beer can chicken was my specialty when we raised meat birds.

Fixer, holy crap, somebody bent you over for that half beef. We should plan on meeting half way this winter, you could pay for the $5 gas and still come out ahead. Me and the other beef guys around here haven't jacked up the price NEAR that amount. Heck, I'd even buy lunch and a beverage of you choosing.

I know and I squealed like a pig a little bit. That was by far the best price and had to drive 50 miles and was the start of covid. A lot of weird chit happening then. I did split it up so the grown kids would have some anyway. The way it was, it's done.

A Quarter cost us $2.10/lb from local grower, then paid for Shop to process and package, do not believe we hit $7/lb for entire load. Trust the beef raiser, even more trust the Slaughter/butcher shop as both local and hard earnest honest people.

We got sides of beef years ago when raising the kids.
Half a hog, for us was preferable, just don’t have that much desire for beef the last couple decades. GMO feeds, breeding for lean, beef just doesn’t taste the same. Just buy as we need at the supermarket, ground beef and occasionally stew meat.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Our supplier feeds primarily Grass, Some Supplements, Some grains but uncertain if were GMO. Good Marbling, Tasty too. Ground Beef from the Quarter runs around 85-90% fat content, that from the Shop.
Only wife and I these days, seems cousins, Nieces and nephews cannot get out to visit for a meal and BS time so we just do not buy much these days. 1/4 will last us near to a year, 1/4 hog same and six to eight whole processed chickens(Local Grower too) six to seven months as we thaw and cut up later.

$2.65 per pound hanging weight for me. Neighbor is at $2.75. Local meat processor is at $.45. You'll end up less than $5 per pound unless you get all vacuum packed jerky and beef sticks.
As for taste, well, I followed up with on of the last guys, since he was a former customer and hadn't ordered in a few years. "Just had a porterhouse you could eat without teeth, and the burger is awesome. Don't know why I ever quit getting your meat."

We've had HUNDREDS of family cookouts over the decades with frozen beef patties from multiple sources, ALL of them were great burgers  !!

"Fresh beef never frozen" is a marketing strategy. Makes it sound so good, as they flop that frozen hockey puck on the frying surface. In reality, "never frozen" actually concerns me because of all the care it needs to make sure it never spoils! Frozen doesn't bother me in the slightest, it is a great way to preserve food if done correctly.

Our butcher has a Flash Freezer system, once cut up and packaged they run it in that system then is set in pallet boxes for client orders in another freezer at -10.

Dave I think you're the only person I know of who would know what temperature their butcher's freeze is set to.

I pay $1.25 a pound for my beef, costs abbot $650 total and get about 200 pounds of meat. We get 1/4 a year and lasts us all year.
