Tashard Choice Rumors?

The biggest difference between an at-home burger and a restaurant burger is that at home most people use 90+% lean. Restaurants are closer to 80% lean or less. McDonald's is famously at 80/20 beef/fat.

I use 80/20, actually. Assuming that's what my butcher labels as ground chuck.

80/20 holds together better because of the fats. Lowest I go is 80/20. If you are cooking on a grill, 80/20 is the way to go. No risk of falling through the grate.
On my griddle, 90/10 has enough fat, in combination with the bacon sheen, to make a nice crisp.

I do cast iron skillet. Maybe I'll try 90/10. I don't normally cook up bacon though.

I've tried sous vide a couple times and finishing on the cast iron but it's not nearly as good to me.

90/10 may be too lean without the bacon cook. It doesn't release a bunch of fat.
My girlfriend just likes a thick, lean piece of meat. She keeps telling me that is what it is going to take to satisfy her, so I just keep trying with the 90/10 on the griddle. She does, every so often, sneak off to have 5 Guys. You'd think she'd be fatter.

I have some buns in my fridge. I could vomit on them, microwave the result, then have insta-lunch of similar quality!

Whataburger is good stuff. Not outstanding but definitely above average. I’d like to see them cut back on the bread, though.
 
I was going to post something I think I would probably feel bad about afterwards. Here is burger instead.

And this would be why I don't trust your opinion on anything food related. You store buns in the fridge, no matter how you warm them up your burger will taste even worse than McDonalds.

I don't think the debate on whether McDonald's even uses beef is settled.

Bread doesn't go in the fridge. Keep it out or put it in the freezer.

me: I wouldn’t be happy if someone did that to me

StingTalk: it’s not a big deal. It’s expected. That’s how college football works.

Lincoln Riley: I was betrayed. Who else is going to stab me in the back?

I wouldn’t say it’s expected just that I don’t think it’s as big a deal as you’re making it. He isn’t blackballed or whatever you were implying.

Did you read the article and what was said? Sounds like he’s not working for Lincoln Riley anytime soon.

Lincoln Riley isn’t the industry. I thought you made a more generic comment Han you did. I would not expect Lincoln Riley to hire him back in the near future.

I've cooked burgers at home on the stove, in the oven, on a charcoal grill, on a gas grill, in smokers and in iron skillets.

When you have an In-Out Burger, that is when you realize the utter futility of trying to reproduce the unparalleled hedonistic experience of an In-Out Burger. My suggestion is to enjoy the Burger in the parking lot - trying to manage a vehicle at the same time is a very bad idea.

They’re delicious….I’m likewise in the cult.

I think I read that article a few days ago, but didn't it say Riley was as much of a hypocrite for leaving suddenly after vehemently denying other rumors? I bet most coaches see it the same way, both parties owe what says on the contract, nothing more nothing less. It can change day to day...
