Half-pound burgers.

Yesterday, we sold 9 of them to one table. It turned out to be the visiting Japanese business people checking on the quality of the beef. We passed the test.

We were able to cut a sweetheart deal with his meat processor. I make more bottom line on my Kobe burgers than my regular burgers (ground by a local meat processor.)

Tonight, I ate a Kobe burger with sauteed portabella mushrooms. It was heaven!

How big are your burgers?

Seems like your next step is a BPT made with Berkshire pork!

A burger made with Japanese Kobe beef for $10? How do you do that?

I'll just stick with the Whopper! I wonder how much it would be to add truffles?
