Best Burger in Indiana (So far)


I had the pleasure of indulging in a great hamburger while traveling through Bloomington, Indiana. The place was the Upland Brewing Company's Bloomington Tap Room and, yes, this burger goes well with one of their famous craft beers. The burger itself is their "Classic" made with Fischer Farms beef and topped with smoked Gouda. I highly recommend a stop at this terrific brew pub and restaurant.

I had not heard of Fischer Farms but a quick look at their web site made me realize why the burger made from Premium/Natural beef was so good. Check it out:

Premium

Our beef is premium (Restaurant Quality). This means that only young Angus cattle are chosen to be processed for Fischer Farms Natural Beef. The cattle are fed an all vegetarian diet of grain and high quality grasses. All excess fat is trimmed for a lean healthy meat. Finally, beef is aged for 14 days to achieve a premium taste and tenderness only found in fine restaurants. Like a fine wine, the process of aging meat will enhance the flavor as well as tenderize the beef to achieve a premium meat. The meat is hung in a temperature controlled environment that allows the natural enzymes to break down the muscle fibers. This natural process substantially tenderizes and adds flavor to the meat.

Natural

Our beef is natural. Natural means no added hormones or antibiotics. Fischer Farms Natural Beef and Pork is hormone free and antibiotic free. Hormones are used as a standard practice in the beef industry to promote fast growth in the cattle. Many heath experts are concerned about how these hormones are affecting humans.
