Paul Newman Burger?

Recommended Posts

Posted

Has anyone heard of the Paul Newman Burger? It's has an 22% fat to meat ratio and the beef chosen is Brisket and Chuck Round! I once saw a short video of a chef from either Rhode Island or Conn make one but I thought he used three types of beef, it's been a while since I saw that so I can be wrong with my memory being with it is I thought he said he added veal also. If you have heard of or cooked one can you confirm the meat ratio with the brisket and chuck round-maybe veal?

Found this article about Paul Newman in Food & Wine and it mentions the burger.

Newman was unwavering with a few of his demands, however: He wanted casual and efficient service, a comfortable dining room and a hamburger with 22 percent fat. "I think the hamburger is the great American dish," Newman says. He and Nischan taste-tested 15 variations before settling on a custom ground-beef blend of Niman Ranch brisket and chuck round. "The burger is Paul’s gold standard," Nischan says. "It makes a statement that the restaurant is accessible. And a burger and a bottle of wine is a great combination."

Found another article that says the restaurant closed in 2014.

Can't seem to find an actual recipe anywhere?
