Chuck and brisket go through the grinder at six. What isn't used by close doesn't see tomorrow. Here's what happens in between.

chuck + brisket · 80/20
Chuck for flavour, brisket for fat. Nothing else goes in.

4 oz · hand-rolled
Loose. Packed meat steams instead of searing, and you can taste which one you got.

450° · 30 seconds
One press, held dead flat until the edges run out thin enough to go lacy.

one flip, no more
The browned side is the product. Everything stacked above it is delivery.

potato · buttered · 40 sec
Face down on the same top, in the butter and fat the patty left behind.
