now, that's a burger
It is the Thursday special and now I know where I'm going for lunch today.

I stick with brisket and chuck. The idea of grinding a beautiful ribeye instead of dropping it on the grill in pure form seems like disrespecting it...
I'm pretty sure I've stated my unpopular opinion before, but I don't like grilled ribeye.  Just too fatty, and they don't cook long enough to render that fat.  I find the texture to be... well... disgusting.

Consequently, I think putting it in a hamburger grind is an excellent use for it.

My wife likes ribeyes.  I'm fine with them, so I usually go that way with steak unless I get a tenderloin at Costco.  She doesn't know our beef cuts at all, I'd call it cote de bouef, but she doesn't.  (I know that term is really standing rib, I think.)

This is my feeling as well. Whenever I go to a restaurant and they explained that they have ground up a nice cut of meat, it’s just like “why?”

I'd rather eat a great burger than eat a ribeye steak, so it doesn't bother me at all.

My burgers never touch the grill. The piece of cast iron between the grates and meat ensures this.

Well we're gonna have to agree to disagree on that one. Ribeye is, to me, the best steak cut. 

But even beyond that, ribeye is expensive as hell. It's expensive as hell because it's flavorful but it's already tender enough to cook med-rare. I find things like short rib and chuck are MORE flavorful than ribeye but they're not tender unless they're slow-cooked--or if you grind them. 

I feel like throwing ribeye into a burger blend is just trying to make it unnecessarily fancy. And I'm a fancy fella in the kitchen, but it just doesn't make sense to me.

The All American Brisket Cheeseburger - House Ground & Smoked Brisket Burger. Dressed with American Cheese, Switch Special Sauce, and Pickles.

Looks really delicious, but seems like it's a little bit over-dressed with that sauce. With the amount of fat in ground brisket, it should be MORE than juicy enough w/o that...

The best steak I ever had out was a "tomahawk ribeye", which sounded to me like a weird thing indeed, but it was really good.  Of late, we've had more lamb chops than steak, I think bone in helps cooking.

Yeah that looks like too much sauce to me, too.  The burger itself is delicious, I can attest.

Oh and I loathe pickles, that rancid fruit of the devil will never touch any burger I consume.

All I can say is I'm happy when my wife and I were making the menu last night, we've got burgers on it. 

And that will be with my blend of chuck and the brisket point. 

I take the Amazing Ribs advice to heart that if you're grinding meat, you can't serve it medium rare or even medium... It's gotta be cooked through. But chuck + brisket point has more than enough fat that you can cook a burger to IT of 150 and it is still just oozing juice.

I'd rather eat smoked brisket than ribeye in any of its forms.
