Indeed.  Only reason any of us keep coming back to this joint.
Meh. I think if football went away, this joint would still be here. We're beyond football by this time. We even have our own cookbook. 
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

Beth Mowins is dressed like she is going on a nature hike immediately following the game.
It would be nice if she would take a hike...

Is she the lady announcer in the UK game?  I would ask how she got that job, her voice is unappealing, to me.  I didn't see her on camera.

I wanted to mute the sound.

Why don't we have our own cookbook? Use the proceeds to fund the site?

Spent 20-plus years working up to it.

You tryin' to start a fightin' war, Brutus?

I don't know who is the best. I suspect that there are certain dishes that each of us make better than anyone else on the board. And I'm sure there are some who are better cooks (i.e. better at execution), while others are better at actually creating/conceiving recipes. So I don't know who is the best.

I'm by no means a great chef, but I do make things that are pretty good.  I made a shrimp sautee the other night that I liked a lot, it's simple, as is most of my stuff because I raised three kids and I had to get'er dun.

I served it over fresh linguini noodles and the wife liked it a lot.  I find some green garnish helps a LOT of dishes, I usually use green onion.  I like spaghetti a lot and fix that a lot, and it's pretty good if I bother with fresh noodles, I like angle hair.

I find the 80-20 ground chuck is best for burgers.  I try and let the meat come near RT and then sear the heck out of them.  The wife likes hers blu rare.  Meh.

I usually don't serve on a bun.  Cast iron works pretty well for this, and it works on an inductive stove.

I mix chuck roast and brisket point through the grinder. The point allows you to calibrate how much fat you want. 

Generally for burgers they say that you shouldn't eat them at lower temps. The bacteria that is most likely to get you sick would be on the surface of meat, so a steak can be cooked rare/med-rare mostly safely. But once you grind meat, that bacteria goes throughout, so you have to cook it to a higher temp to be safe.

Thus the additional fat helps you to cook it to a hotter temperature but retain the juiciness that you'd get otherwise.

IMHO 80/20 is still a little leaner than I'd like for burgers.

The French get so much right about cooking, but they're pretty much lost when it comes to grilling beef, which includes burgers.

Blu doesn't work for burgers.  It also doesn't work for the normal crappy quality of beef they get in France, but it definitely doesn't work for burgers.

Speaking of food, menu tonight,  tomato cucumber salad w some delish vinaigrette wife makes,  Hasselbeck potatoes, king crab legs, dry aged strip steak, and my wife's almond cake.  

Plenty of booze and drink.  My kids are at a sleepover.  I suspect my Dad will clean out some of the scotch.  Mom likes her Woodford neat.
