Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

just curious...i've done it a few times w/ the Kitchen Aid attachment
in general probably more trouble than it's worth (at least for that method)
i never used brisket tho

Done it. Worth it. Not that much trouble either.

it's an effort

Last night I did a couple organic chicken legs and thighs for the kids.

Then I seared some rubbed ahi Tuna and chimichurri marinated skirt steak, from Heinen's Lake Bluff.

It was all really tasty.

or compared to forming your own patties from already ground beef

If you are comparing home ground to whole muscle ground probably barely worth the effort in my opinion. But a lot of grind is trim and I'd say it's worth it. When you get into the cheaper stuff that is ground older dairy or beef cow it's very much worth it. I'll grind pork for making chorizo but that's because most ground pork at stores is just too fatt for that use.

Just to be clear: This was 80% chuck, 20% brisket?

I'm getting a meat grinder soon so I can start customizing my burgers and make sausages for the smoker.

It's a mix of 80/20 chuck, brisket, and shoulder. They call it their "Ultimate Grind".

I can ask them on my next visit.
