General Greene Burger Has 70-30 Meat-to-Fat Ratio!

Booyah! I think I know where I'm heading for dinner tomorrow night: General Greene in Fort Greene. From the New Yorker:

It’s clear that the General Greene has set out to become a staple in its own right, most obviously with its burger (concocted with the help of Ryan Skeen, late of Resto and his own acclaimed burger). It’s the size of a hockey puck—small in diameter, plump in the middle—but juicy. The flavor is dynamic enough to inspire debate—is there some pork in there, or lamb? Nope: it’s a hundred per cent Angus beef, from DeBragga, at a seventy-thirty ratio, making you forget (or at least forgive) the backyard-cookout accompaniment of potato chips.

Bada-bing! Thirty percent fat? This is surely one juicy mofo. General Greene is closed Mondays, so don't run out there till tomorrow.
