"A whole brisket is more than a lot of people want to deal with, but
a little ground brisket is more manageable."

Cooking in an oven is an example of a way to cook a whole brisket. I'm
contrasting the seeming difficulty of cooking a whole brisket with the
ease of cooking a burger. People who can't cope with cooking a whole
brisket are surely not going to grind their own beef.
