many years ago i worked for the London Borough of Hackney
as a care assistant for the elderly
and part of my duties was to make sure everyone finished there supper
but when they fed beets
and some people didnt eat there's
i was supposed to make them
now i would rather wrestle a 500 pound gorilla
than eat beets
and im expected to see that they did
needless to say i was unemployed shortly after

I love a good hamburger. Best one around here is over in Greenfield at a place called Wimpey's. If you're particularly hungry you can go for a whole "Wimpeyburger" which has about a pound and a half of meat on it. But I just order the regular hamburger which is about a third pound of lean meat with the usual fixings on it.

Only place that's ever came close to it was at a country store in Genoa Arkansas that had a grill attached to it. Those were pretty darn good themselves.

I'll eat steak once in a while but would rather have a good burger. And I'm not talking fast food ones either. Those are just "filler".
 
If I find a good deal on steak, I only by tenderloins. I can't stand what they pass off as steak these days. And this "pass off" stuff is usually tougher than nails. Or give me a good two day old roadkill.

That's about what that crap is that they're selling as steak is.

But to even things out, give me a good hamburg steak any day..... cooked medium and smothered with onions and mushrooms.

Steak only if it's swine and from the neck.

In any other case: Hamburger. The less McD/BK, the better.
 
Well, of course, they are both good when properly prepared. The choice may well be dictated by how much coin of the realm you have at the moment. . .
 
I've never met a steak I couldn't eat nor a hamburger I couldn't eat !

There's nothing more better than a nicely grilled fillet, lightly seared, medium rare on the inside. On the hamburger side, fresh off of the grill is hard to beat !

And for a nice change, take a 1.5 inch slice of bologna (baloney), pepper on both sides, and put on a hot grill. Allow it to get golden brown on both sides, move up to a higher shelf, paint with sauce. Let it smoke for a few minutes and you've got a great slice of meat. I always use the regular bologna as opposed to the beef.

Also, there is a distinct difference in steaks/burgers grilled over charcoal and those grilled over propane. I've seen a lot of the infrared grills out there, but have not had a chance to sample any food cooked on them.

And that's the exact reason I never owned a gas grill, and probably never will. Mmmmmm! Nothing like the taste of wood smoke on yer meat!

No kidding. I'll take charcoal or wood over any of the new types of grilling these days I see on TV.
I don't care if it takes longer to set up, and you have more cleanup afterwards.
Just tastes a whole lot better. It's worth it.
 
Without hesitation, I would pick steak over a hamburger. Filet Mignon or a T-Bone- those are the only two steaks I eat.
However, I LOVE a good hamburger cooked on the grill! Add onions, ketchup and dill pickles...YUMMY!

Which do you prefer?

Why is steak so far different from hamburger, and yet its the same thing? Do you ever think about that?

Steak

The prime difference is fat content and quality of the meat. Hamburger makes use of the remnents and has a higher fat percentage. That's the whole point of hamburger -- to take the lower quality cuts and grind them up.

Same difference as sausage versus bacon versus ham. :mixedsmi:

Of course, I must say my favorite hamburger is the famous $100 hamburger. This is where you mount up your airplane, and fly for the pure fun of it to a local airport with a restaurant on the airport premises that serves a hamburger.

North Las Vegas (KVGT) used to have one, but lack of business killed it. There was nothing more satisfying for me than to go up on the second floor balcony overlooking the runway and parking area during a pleasant fall or spring day, and munch down a hamburger after a flight, and watch all the airplanes takeoff, taxi, and land. The mountains in the background just added to the value.

I could never understand why that restaurant didn't get more business!

Then again, there's also the silly group that tried to publicly question Harrison Ford for flying for the fun of it by trying to question his "environmental responsiblity" by flying for a hamburger -- like the food was the ONLY reason he flew! Such myopic point of view reminds me of the famous quote by Charles Lindbergh:

I began to feel that I lived on a higher plane than the skeptics of the ground; one that was richer because of its very association with the element of danger they dreaded, because it was freer of the earth to which they were bound. In flying, I tasted a wine of the gods of which they could know nothing. Who valued life more highly, the aviators who spent it on the art they loved, or these misers who doled it out like pennies through their antlike days? I decided that if I could fly for ten years before I was killed in a crash, it would be a worthwhile trade for an ordinary life time.
- Charles A. Lindbergh, 'The Spirit of St. Louis.'​
 
Back in the day i made all my own ground beef.

After all the meat was butchered for the next three days.. Top Rounds. Bottom rounds, Eye Rounds, Flanks, Skirts. Porterhouses and T-Bones, filet trimmed and portioned, I took all the trimmings and ground it fresh..


To that I made it several ways...

70-20-10

70% lean beef
20% veal or pork (fresh ground)
10% fat (fresh ground)


Grill, serve, or just eat yourself... Cant be beat....

What? Are you serious? They are not the same thing. Do KFC drumsticks taste the same as chicken marsala with carmeled breasts? :kilroy:

People around the world love steak and hamburger. They aren't two things that you can ask people which they prefer, as if the world is divided and most people like one and dislike the other. :blind: I'm surprised there are so many votes here. Well, my girlfriend loves steak and won't eat hamburgers...
