By hand chopping the meat, I believe you may learn about the protein development in the primary bind... and just how important it is. Many folks like to grind the fa...

Wow, this is a heck of a good burger! Here are some more photos from Grasshopper in Minnesota. He's definitely got the knack! The burger is moist and doesn't shrink in the pan. How about that! :wink: http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg561/grasshopper4552/100_1641_zps571597f3.jpg http://i1244.phot...
