Was supposed to have smoked turkey yesterday but my wife had a burger
craving. At the local supermarket they had 7 bone shoulder roasts on
sale for $1.99. I picked what looked like a good one, brought it home
and started wacking it into grinder-sized chucks. Wow! Stuff looked
like Kobe beef!
Killer burger!

Bubba, who is now smoking turkey....152 degrees and rising!

So, just one... you didn't buy a half dozen? Grind one for meat loaf,
grind another for more burgers, a couple for grillin'... 7 bone roast
is excellent grilled, marinated or not. Save the bones for stock.

Because we usually only eat beef once a week and I already have a few
months worth in the freezer. Good deal, and I was tempted, but...

How do you grill a tougher cut of meat like this? Just like a tender cut?

Bubba,

Thanks for the FYI. Never heard of that cut until now. Does your
supermarket have a name? Acme?!! I've been grinding up rib-eye roast
which is very good but way too expensive.

I'll give it a try. Looks like good meat/fat ratio for burgers.

Thanks,

Andy

Publix....I think they're pretty much confined to Fl, Ga. and maybe
Ala. I've found, though, that any of the shoulder works well for ground
meat. Hard to beat the humble "chuck" roast!

Bubba,

I remember Publix from Boynton Beach, FL. Same as the rest.

When I buy chuck roast, it's usually for pot roast with mashed potatoes.
Leftover roast becomes shredded bbq beef on buns with Hunt's Hickory and
brown sugar BBQ sauce for breakfast the following AM.

Sounds good! 'Course, being of S.C. stock, I'd have to opt for a
mustard-based sauce! ;-)
You ever try that over grits?

Bubba,

Never had grits. When I was in FL and discovered bisquits and country
gravy, that settled breakfast decision making. Someday!

Another never had, "hang my head in shame" food is crawfish, just never
was in any family recipe boxes.

Did get my intro to shrimp/chicken/sausage jambalaya at Mardi Gras, 1993.
Best thing since beer! Took my wife and a girlfriend (of hers). They tell
me I had a great time.

FWIW. I've also had pretty good luck with brisket....in fact, sometimes
find myself trimming fat.

Safeway had a buy 1 get 1 free special on these last weekend at $3.99/lb. I
put four in the freezer. I'm in Apache Junction, AZ, kinda of a long road
trip for you.

Dear Wayne and Bubba.... maybe I can visit you this summer for a
burger cook out? Sounds like I won't cost much to feed!
