1420 calories of pure, ruthless amazingness... Oh yeah, and some saturated fat too. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6498304/)
I can't have one, for my cholesterol is aleady high, but I sure can dream...
-
Oh man that looks good...
Too bad I've put on 8 pounds in the last 2 months or instead of eating the lunch I came home for, I'd get in my car and drive to the Hardees exactly 0.2 miles from my house and order one.
With a Diet Coke of course.
:D
-
isn't it possible to make something like that but a little more healthy?
They use 30% plus fat burgers... lay on the salt etc... etc.. You can make a big burger that tastes great and is less than half the badside.

DROOOLL
Im going to hardees now

man :furious
the nearest hardee's is like a 45 minute to 1 hour drive :mad:

There's no substitute for the juiciness generated by excessive fat and salt.

hehe, that's not new. It's been out for several years I think.
I can eat like one a year. If I eat another before 12 months is up, I feel like a lard ball.
Of course, I still eat a Chick-fil-a sandwich and a milkshake once a week. Their milkshakes are like crack! :)

I disagree but I was not raised on fast food. My burgers are always at least 1/2 lb and are nice and red in the middle. If you don't overcook decent meat you will find it does not require much fat at all to taste juicy. Those who are used to salt are just that. If its lacking they think.. gee... this needs salt. I like and use salt but only when it seems to pull some extra out of a product.. ie.. Tomato or Cucumber or most beef products. I hate the salty taste of most processed foods becasue it crushes the many other tastes if it was done right in the first place. The same goes for excessive hots.

I never ate fast food as a kid either. In my opinion, there's nothing better than perfect piece of Filet Mignon, salted, peppered and garlicked moderately, then cooked to a nice medium rare. Salting liberally is sometimes warranted as most of it drips off on the grill, anyway.
However, as I've been prohibited from eating red meat at all, and now live off baked fish, vegetables and fruit juice, the prospect of a heart-killing burger, cheap as it may be, is mouth-watering.
A question: Doesn't this Angus Beef mean that it's at least of moderate quality, or is that largely a lie?
-
i don't think angus has anything to do with fat content.
-
Hehe, just entered my zone.
Beef from Aberdeen-Angus cattle along with the Hereford was for long concidered the world's finest. (The world back then being such that the UK was boss). But the Hereford has a more yellowish fat, - or at least had in the older breeds.
Now, the Angus grows nicely fat and fatter meat means juicier.
Many other breeds of cattle are bread with them becoming larger (and perhaps also older) before the fattenings starts occuring and many of the bigger breeds are also fed as accurately as possible for "red" meat.
(Intensive feeding, balancing protein and energy as accurately as possible for this, as well as the bulls not being castrated, then limited movement etc.)
So, today in short, true Angus beef is from an animal that gets fatter sooner, and is fed differently, and the final word of Aberdeen-Angus bloodline.
However, if you're buying Angus beef, I have no idea if it's a marketing ploy or if it is the real stuff.
The PETA person I know was an au-pair on my home. She ate the Angus beef with ease and delight.

this just sucks i have never even seen a hardees in my life. then i keep seeing theses sonic comercials for some tasty looking stuff and i have never seen one of them either.

Certified Angus Beef ® is the world's leading brand of fresh beef. Since 1995, packers have paid producers more than $200 million in value-based grid premiums for cattle accepted into the brand. For more information on CAB products and programs.

You have "Angus" restaurants, and you have "Herefod" ones too (seen some) That should tell something.
-
What should it tell us Angus? I`m not feeling it here. :)

Put yer brain on it. When the brand is put in big letters it means pride.

Possibly, but around here it usualy just means another lame restuarant
change has come this way.
We also have "The Blackeyed Pea". :)
Chucky Cheese!!!! Now there some pride for ya.
Note: If I can survive one more grandkid`s BD party at CC, I will then be bullet proof. :)
-
Ahh, ok. So I must explain.
Angus got it's name connected to premium beef over 100 years ago.
Reason: Quality of stock, especially under rough condition.
How: It's a hardy animal, yet with very good growing capability. An animal that stays in good condition throughout the lifespan is better quality meat.
-
I have no idea who this "Chucky Cheese" is but it looks like it makes jackal fart bullets...

Your close in your imagination. Now, just imagine "Chuncky Cheese" as the output as opposed to the input.

:D Thanks Angus, but let me explain to you. What is being refered to here is CAB, Certified Angus Beef. A registered trademark brand of beef. To be eligible to produce for the CAB your cattle doesn`t have to be purebred Angus. They have guideleines on carcass quality that has to be met. Also the cattle have to be Angus influenced . Meaning the use of Angus bulls. The cattle must be at least 51% black hided.
Reason: Quality of stock, especially under rough condition.How: It's a hardy animal, yet with very good growing capability.
The Angus breed is pretty hardy and able to withstand some adverse condtions.
If I was choosing breeds based on it`s ability to withstanding most any conditions though, I would have to go with Brahmans. After that I would choose Beefmaster. With Beefmaster you get the best of qualities from both the Brahman and the Hereford. With the Brahman you have the added extra of it being a larger breed, where the Angus is a small breed.
What the Angus does have over some breeds, which is a plus for the independent rancher, is their calm nature and ease in which they can be worked. Very agreeable nature breed, especialy if worked by one or two people on a normal basis.
The Brahaman if left to free or open range and not worked closely with can be a royal pain in the backside when it comes to vaccinations, loading or working in general. Sort of like a D-9 dozer, with a bad attitude, in a cattle hide. :)
We had a herd of Herefords when I was a kid. We also raised one herd of mixed breed beef cattle.
Dad got interested in registered Angus, so we started an additional herd of Angus. I beleive it was 45 heifers, just coming up to breeding age that were purchased from a huuuuuuge ranch in Oklahoma, that was the start of our Angus adventure. Then additional stock was added from a few well known, top of the line ranchs in our area to get the bloodline desired.
These were my responsibility to feed and tend to. They were also my pride and joy. Great animals to work with and a great experience for a kid.
Our first herd bull, Prince (can`t remember his full registered name) , was my constant companion when I was working in the barn or the pasture. He stuck to me like glue, loved to be petted and could smell a sugar cube from a mile away. :)
I had some great times working with these cattle and won some pretty impressive show awards.
-
You a cattleguy? NICE! Now we're talking shop.
The Angus name associated with the Angus quality comes from Britain I belive, and before that, Scottish was the name. (Angus & Galloway split up in something like 1830)
Nice to see that to be called "angus beef" at least it has to have the bloodline etc. However, the initial fame was from fat and flavour, flavour comes with fat, and the flavour in the fat comes from what the animal eats.
Cattle that are mostly fed with corn taste different.
Anyway, will be back with more stuff.

Been a long time for me Angus. I`m always up for a little playing around in the pasture or pen if someone needs some help working their cows though. I guess it`s the Texas thing. :)
A few years back I got a chance to lease what once was an old horse barn and boarding stable in the small town I was raised near. A few of us had been trying to get a chance at this old place for quite a few years. We mainly wanted it for a place to hang out, shoot the breeze and down a few cool ones on occasion. :)
It was definitely the last of it`s kind in the area. It was like looking at a scene taken from some old wild west, cattle boom days era.
I happened to be at the right place at the right time and found out that the owner was tired of keeping it up on his own. I paid a year lease with the option to continue on a yearly basis for as long as I wanted it.
I had bought a young registered gelding , so he now had two homes. A couple of friends of mine bought horses and brought them to the stable. We were the most unlikely group to be considered cowboys by anyone`s standards. :) We erected a very fitting sign on the front of the barn that read..." The O.K. Corral". :)
We got to be known as the guys to call on if anyone needed cattle moved, worked, vaccinated, etc. We never charged anything for this, so we stayed pretty busy at times, especialy on the weekends. We did get a lot of free beverage donated for our efforts which suited us fine.
I would roll in on the old Harley, kill it about a hundred yards away, and coast it into the sorting hallway so not to spook the steeds. I would off with my 17" steel toes and grab my old stlye Tony Lama`s that I kept in the tack room with spurs always strapped on. Rowdy Yates I was not. :) We had a lot of fun though and made a few new friends.
As of late, last winter, a friend of mine who had some health problems, had a small hobby herd of registered Texas Longhorns. About 20 total. I volunteered to feed and tend them through the winter. It was a blast being around these little ladies. A real piece of history on the hoof.

OMG, nice nice nice.
We have to start a thread about that country stuff.
Our "world" in this business is quite different, but the punch is the same.
Heck, some 20 years ago, I was once galloping bareback behind a nauhty heifer while holding her tail. But the norm up here with cattle is quite quiet and easy. Untill you have to worm and tag, that's when the fun starts. I still have bruises from the last round, lol.
BTW, texas longhorns are from the old british longhorns right?
Getting into breeds, I am quite keen on the Limousin. It is the meet industries perfect beast (wery small % for bones and fat) while being excellent for the farmer, - one vice though is temper.
Back to Angus. Cross Limousin with Angus, - it works very good.
Cross Charolais with Angus, - better keep just Charolais.
Cross Brahma with angus and you have a funny and good cross, - "Brangus".
Stocks suit at climate. I doubt Brahma would suit me, while Angus (and being black on top of it) does not suit hot atmosphere.
(global warming = less Anguses, - hehe, - not a troll)

lol Rabbit...no chit!
That's some sig material right there.
Edit to add: I don't handle them much...at all really...being an IT-nerd and all...but I come from a long line (over 150 years) of Texas cattlemen...we lease our property to a guy that runs mostly Herefords, but his bulls are all Brahmas...he did have a Longhorn a few years ago...would be some curious looking calves but the offspring don't stick around for long...if you know what I mean :D
So why would they run those breeds in central Texas? The temperatures are cooler than south Texas, and it is definitely not as arid as west Texas. Just curious.

Hehe, you took the bait.

From what I can find this subject is sort of up to some debate. The Spanish brought the first long horned cattle to Texas in the 1400s. From there it is beleived the Texas longhorns are a product of mixing of these breeds and English cattle.

The bestest beef of all comes from Wagyu cattle, the breed used for Kobe beef.
In the US, Wagyu are usually crossed with Angus to produce "Kobe-style" beef.
-
I was told that some of the best beef comes from Argentina.

Actualy it is Chuck E. Cheese. It is a franchise chain of pizza joints that specialize in catering parties for kid groups. At least that is what they claim openly. In reality they are torture chambers designed solely to torment adults to the point of babbling insanity and the habit of turning your pockets inside out in a futile attempt to make it stop.
Where a kid can be a kid is the logo. It roughly translates into where a kid can evily fleece adults and dish out unbearable torment untethered.
Games, rides (all to the tune of the evil tokens that can be purchased by any adult in quanities equaling a king`s ransom). There are live shows put on by staff in furry costumes, Chuck E. Cheese being the largest and most evil of them all. I believe the staff qualifications require that you had to be a child of parents who locked you in a dark closet and fed you nothing but jelly beans for days on end. Revenge! I do beleive if any link in your family tree can be found to the Manson family this also will qualify you.
The pizza is made from discarded cardboard boxs that have been retrieved from various dumpsters and disguised to look almost like food with the exception of the inflated price tags.
The live show tunes and skits are designed in such a way that the noise is not damaging to kid`s ears, but is excruiating to any adult within a ten block area.
Ahhhhh but the games and rides. Take twenty kids, issue tokens. I think it was a clever code that was made by The fine folks at Chuck E. and only known to kids that no two kids ever run out of tokens in the same time period. Don`t know how they do it. The kids that run out first and at specialy timed intervals are those who can break glass with their "Whaaaaaaaaaa I`m outa tokens and still has some . Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I want tokens!" By this time in your trip to hell you have reached the point of out turned pockets mentioned above.
Also there is some kind of time warp from the first moment you enter the place. Two hours in normal time is somewhere in the neighborhood of a month in Chuck`s place.
Then to top it all off is the pyramid scam they have going. Perpetual torture, I like to call it. When some unsuspecting parent, grandparent, uncle , aunt, first cousin twice removed, etc. is tricked into booking an initial BD party it snowballs from there. When you are nothing more than a babbling bag of bones and your time in hell is up, you exit with a sigh of relief. Then it happens. Usualy in the parking lot. "Oh boy that was fun! My birthday is next week and I want to have my party here .
It`s evil. It`s torture. ....................It`s perpetual hell in a furry mouse suit I tell ya. :)
