There’s a large group of burger lovers, both consumers and restaurants, who tout the wonders of New York beef purveyor Pat LaFrieda<\/a> as the best burger supplier in the U.S. \u00a0LaFrieda services some of America’s finest restaurants with steaks and chops, and its various burger blends (original, short ribs, brisket, \u00a0and dry-aged) have taken on somewhat of \u00a0a legendary status. \u00a0The Original Blend has been a product of the company for decades, mixing short rib, brisket and chuck; no doubt about it, it’s a fine burger, with steak flavor and great texture.<\/p>\n

But having samples burgers at opposite ends of the country from another supplier, Kansas’ Creekstone Farms<\/a>, I’m convinced that Creekstone now holds the crown of “best ground beef in America,” without any question.<\/p>\n

A relative newcomer on the purveyor scene, Creekstone features ‘hand picked Black Angus,” born and raised in the USA, humanely treated, with a high quality corn based diet.<\/p>\n

Of course most restaurants order a custom blend to their own recipe, but when you find outlets thousands of miles apart, all serving a superb burger, well that says a lot about the source, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n

My burger winners of the week (year? life?) are Epic Burge<\/a>r of Chicago, Tru Burger<\/a>, Company Burger and District Donut<\/a>, all\u00a0in New Orleans. \u00a0 All were outstanding. \u00a0Check out the individual reviews at the respective links. \u00a0Cook up some Creekstone at home, by ordering here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
