well, it's a lean beef pate, it grills quite nicely too, made by schniders for apaches apparently, so it's not a hand made burger that day. tastes good, not dry, not soggy, just right. get the toppings on it and it makes a great hungry man meal. maybe just me, but i prefer this to some of the gourmet burgers since those tend to be too soggy for my taste, too oily. if you like a simple well put together burger that tastes nice, you won't go wrong here.
