They meant Westbrook, the massive new development at the old quarry along 95.

Throw one on the grill.
I'm surprised Worthy Burger hasn't been mentioned. Grass fed beef broiled over a hardwood fire with VT's best beer on tap. Truly worthy. And now it's a "chain."

Not unless you have the burger in the frig in the first place.
No, frozen pack of ground beef in the freezer doesn't qualify
The idea that burger meat needs to be fresh to be great is totally false. I always have a container of frozen beef scrap in my freezer. Typically trimmings from larger braising cuts or whole primals. Use the grinder attachment with my KitchenAid stand mixer, hand pack, season properly and it's better than patties bought at a nice butcher counter.
Same goes for chicken and pork.

Completely agree. I've grilled home-made burgers from "fresh" ground beef as well as frozen and it really makes no difference as long as you're using a good quality beef to begin with and properly seasoning it.

It's not about "fresh".
It's about it not being frozen, at the moment when you got home after a long day...

You could go through the arduous process of taking it out of the freezer the night before

But not if you didn't go through the 2 second to take it out the night before... == empty bun on the grill
You can easily microwave it a little to defrost then cook on the grill (if the meat is already ground). Not really the most difficult process ever. Or better yet make the meat into burgers freeze it then defrost when you want one.

Worthy Burger is pretty good. The burgers are very tasty and I like visiting Shawn and chatting. I miss him at the castelrock. You see, there another example of how the service benefits the food. LOL
Anyway, The right store bought beef can be good. Organic does not make any difference at all as far as taste. The key to having great burgers is to have the beef fresh not frozen, the right fat content and DO NOT crush the shit out of it with the spatula and push all the juices out of it and compact it. The less you touch it the better is will taste. No kidding. That is the secret that most chefs will not tall you. some places fresh ground the beef on site and form the burgers right out of the grinder and onto the cooking surface. Also kosher salt it better that sea salt and use fresh groud pepper. I put a little olive oil on the surface to sear the outside and get a better crisp. As you can tell burgers have been my thing for a while now.

Totally disagree. Sorry this is not true my friend. See above. But if you like it that way then you saved yourself some fuss.

In better managed forums, the moderator would move the posts to become its own thread.
But here, the moderators are too busy contributing to the drift.
That's why we have but only a handful of active threads for the past 6 months.

we were supposed to go to nashville for my girlfriend's nephews wedding this weekend but she tested positive on Tuesday and feels like death. i tested negative antigen tuesday and negative PCR yesterday, so at this point I'm mostly relieved my techno and jamband shenanigans didn't ruin my girlfriend's first time to see her family since thanksgiving 2019. she attributes her infection to a busy day running around manhattan on public transit last Wednesday doing a bunch of female things in preparation for the wedding. kinda hard for us to isolate in a ~600 sq foot apartment with 2 main rooms, but I'm sticking to the living room and couch and my desk and shes sticking to our bedroom. our bathroom is in our bedroom, so not super ideal. i floated going to a hotel but she didn't want to be alone and I also need to take care of the cat and generally hold down the fort. got another pcr scheduled for tmrw mainly bc I am just curious about my own personal immunity living in close proximity with a breakthru
I bought a new suit to fit my post quarantine frame for this weekend. i now intend to never wear the damn thing as I've kicked into pre ski season exercise and diet conscientiousness. cant return the damn thing bc i had the pants hemmed. i guess I can have the waist taken in when I'm back to my proper physique

Sorry to hear. Hopefully she feels better soon and glad to hear that so far you seem to be protected.

Ditto. Hope the lady is feeling better real soon! Breakthru trend is scary and if it continues is going to wreak havoc with next ski season.

thanks. she's a bit of a pussy weakling.
in march 2020 she got deathly ill and we were sure she was early NYC covid before we were able to get tested. down on her ass for a weak. fever. deep cough. chills. aches. during that period I had a persistent weeklong headache, that's it. we got antibody tests about 8 weeks later that revealed nada. we still think we had early covid.
when we got vaccinated (pfizer), dose 2 murdered her. she was basically the exorcist girl for 24 hours. vomiting repeatedly plus all the chills, fevers, aches, etc. i had a headache for 3 days.
now, she's basically how she was after her vax, minus the vomiting thankfully. i had a headache yesterday but so far no covid and I feel totally fine and normal today.
quarantining except for walks/jogs in the neighborhood, not going inside any businesses. will drive to the testing center in queens tomorrow. the NYC DOH has 4 hour turnaround PCR tests, but I will admit the location I went to yesterday in fort green was ratchet as fuck, and the one tomorrow in corona will probably be even more ratchet as fuck. the urgent cares take longer to get results and also charge you money.
