On average, Americans consume about a hundred fifty million tons of burger a year. The burger is the paragon of the fast food success story from the common man's meal to an international sensation. But what exactly makes a burger so good?.

Good burgers come from great cows
To raise a perfect bovine for consumption you need two things, a cow and a food source, Now with the current debate between grain VS grass fed cows, there are a few things that need to be taken into consideration.Grass fed cows provide a more lean healthy beef, up to 17,773 calories can be avoided annually by switching to grass fed.By natural methods of breeding and ranching, your final product will undoubtedly be tastier and healthier by far.
Meat-in the standards
Use fresh ground beef not those frozen hockey pucks they sell next to the Eggo's in the supermarket.Use a sirloin brisket and chuck mixture to provide texture & flavor to your patties.season your meat lightly with just salt and pepper, u don't want to overpower the flavor of the beef.

The bun; always toast lightly u will be able to tell the difference.
