There has been sort of a tangent discussion in the
Grange Hall Burger Bar thread about the difference in taste (or lack thereof) between standard beef burgers and those made from "designer" beef. Opinions seem to vary, so in the name of Chow Science, let's put the question to rest once and for all.
I propose that we order identical burgers (either with no toppings, or with a standardized set of very minimal toppings in order for the actual beef to shine through) of each of the types of beef on offer at Edzo's on the day of the event, scheduled for Sunday 3/4/12 at 3:00 P.M. We will then be able to sample them side by side and determine what, if anything, the different types of beef bring to the table (we will be looking for differences in taste only. No consideration will be give to humane treatment of animals, sustainability, how friendly the farmer is, etc. for the purpose of this test). A few of us have already done this in an informal manner, but I'm hoping to do this a bit more scientifically in much the same way we conducted the beefathons to come up with some hard, albeit subjective, data.
I spoke to Eddie (Edzo) about this plan and he suggested that Sunday later in the day would probably be the best time for us to come in and hope to find seating for our group. In deference to the seating capacity of Edzo's, I'm going to limit this event to no more than 6 - 8 people.
