Clicking in to the AHT inbox today, we've got a quick flash of brilliance from J. Kenji Alt.

Dear AHT, Letters From Our ReadersJust tried something that I'm surprised has never occured to me in the past:

I happened to have some scraps from some dry-aged grass-fed local rib-eyes in my fridge, and it was sitting right next to a container of rendered beef-fat that I'd forgotten about. Then my cleaver caught my eye. The result? Hand-chopped, dry-aged grass-fed burger basted with beef fat as it cooks. Out of this world!
