Good Eats

[JPolen01]

I'm always down to try a bougie burger but you would have to be high to pay $16 for a meat patty from a Kansas wholesaler.  For that price tag it better be right from Billy Bob's local farm down the skreet and preferably something exotic like bison meat

It was definitely expensive no doubt about it. It was worth it. But to say Creekstone Farms is a run of the mill wholesaler is not doing them justice. Their beef is distributed on the east coast by Pat LaFreida who knows a thing or two about beef. Creekstone also supplies Shake Shack which seems to be doing pretty well with 136 locations worldwide.

Just because it's local doesn't mean anything other than maybe it is fresh that day. You have no idea how Billy Bob raises his cows, what their diet is, what their habitat is like. Local being better is a marketing tactic farmers markets have done extremely well with.
