Mine was pretty swell. Worked hard, came home and cooked with the Mrs.
What did you do today?
I learned to cook from my foster/adoptive parents. There were 3-8 kids until we came north and then I was the only child. My parents always worked hard to stretch their money so 80/20 is what I grew up with. My mom said the fat helped flavor the meat and gave the spices something to hold onto. I'm not exactly certain what she meant by that, but her burgers were always the best even when she cooked them on the stove.
I'm married and in a much more affluent situation now. Our burgers are 80/20. My husband grew up in a similar financial situation. Neither of us like lean hamburgers :-)

I may be skewed on this because I normally get 87% or better at my normal grocer (they sell up into the 90's), but I feel like 80% might shrink too much. Maybe not, though, and I guess the drip will cause the fire to flare and work better on the meat. I don't know, I don't grill very often because I live in an apartment.
