No ! It tastes better in your mind because you have been brainwashed into thinking it tastes better. I am beginning to think this thread was started by a franchisee of Schlotzky’s or Panera, or Five Guys, or one of the others that has popped-up in the past 5 yrs. Your meat at Panera crosses the same grinder, processor, plant that everybody else’s crosses. You’re paying more for the same basic product that winds-up in a fancier setting. If that is your wish and you believe you’re getting better product. Have at it.
It’s the same mind-set that says that Wal-Mart customers are a lower class of consumers. I am a Wal-Mart customer and I also shop at Macy’s from time to time. To suggest my Wal-Mart patronage is an indication of poor taste or lower caste is pure snobbery.
I see that some of you can’t avoid coming back to the train wreck. Yep, I’m here too. Train wrecks aren’t that frequent but they sure do make for some interesting times.
