Yeah yeah yeah, OK!

I just made a little (4oz) burger on Panera Sourdough w a little
catsup, and YUM!

You didn't read Straub's website, did you? Straub's is noted for their
fine meats in St Louis. Bryan, care to chime in on this? Let ole
Brooklyn1 know what you think?

John Kuthe...

I read enough of their web site to know that their meat is no better or
worse than any typical stupidmarket.... I read their meat specials to see if
they'd say of which beef cut their ground beef consisted, they don't, it's
pure mystery meat. If your usual ground beef purchase is 4 lbs then you are
a fool to not be grinding your own... I can buy a 4 lb roast for $8 and
you're paying $12 for 4lbs of mystery meat.
