I'm getting 4 fresh eggs a day from the (7)3 year old chickens, might kick up in spring
They do get fed high quality feed so the cost may be a wash

I estimate we spend .75 egg if you factor in materials and labor, a good egg cost a buck+ out here nowadays

Top round != tender, in fact pretty tough. I tenderized it and dried brined it. Still tough. It's been in my freezer for a while, so I thought I'd get rid of it. It is suppose to be wagyu. I don't know about that. The rest of it is good though.

American wagyu is basically a crossbreed. They don't massage it or anything. It's just wagyu cow jizz planted into one of our cows.

Top round needs to be braised, tossed in chili or smashed to Bolivia for cock fried steak.

I think maybe brisket would be as low as you should go on the wagyu. Choice and prime are perfectly fine for things like chuck or top round which would be cooked slow like a roast.

I decided to try out egg buns for a burger. The buns are made from fresh mozzarella and an egg cooked in the oven at 350 for about 25 minutes, then finished under the broiler for ~1.5 minutes and allowed to rest before slicing. Added to that is ground beef, more mozzarella, and bacon.

Lessons learned:
  • The egg bun wasn't bad at all. It tasted like... eggs. I wish it was thicker though. Maybe I'll use more egg next time for a thicker bun.
  • 1/4 lb of beef was perfect. It works like this, but I might switch to two 1/8 lb smash burgers next time for a little extra flavor from the char. I cooked the beef in the bacon fat BTW.
  • I think I'll switch the cheese up to top off the beef next time or at least mix the mozz with something else. I think a blue cheese crumble or American would work well with this. Either way, it could have used more. I used 2 ounces, I think.
  • I went with one slice of bacon cut in half. I should have used two.
  • Hot sauce on the bottom of the top bun for next time. Some type of sauce at least.
My main concern this time around was whether the bun would hold together so I could eat it like any burger. It did, so a successful experiment overall. I'll have to experiment with different types of meat overtime as well.

Use portabella caps on the grill if looking for low carb, trust me

Need a new grill.
Blackstone Tailgater. Half grill half griddle. You can pull one and have a big burner for a pot.

Not bad depending on quality
Running chickens is expensive, my eggs are easily a buck a piece if you factor in time spent on them and cost of feed/materials.

Looks nice
I want a griddle set up, but Winter air so wet here most years that stuff molds or rusts in the winter

So I mostly use cheap grills
