    lapadia's Notes: What is a Fair without a cheeseburger? There are hundreds of ways to make a burger, but for me, a grilled lean beef patty goes hand and hand with an artisan cheesy bun to make the best. So...

I asked my butcher to grind the meat for me and he was very willing. Having the meat freshly ground made a huge difference in the quality and flavor. Only the simplest of seasoning were needed to round out the flavors. These were by far the best burgers I've ever made. I like the simplicity of the recipe because it is open to many interpretations. You could leave these as is or add all the ingredients your family likes. This recipe is a real winner!

Note from the cook...I also make this burger without added ingredients to the ground brisket, just salt & pepper the patty before grilling; both are tasty!
