Last week we met with Dirty Martin’s owner, Mark Nemir. As you may know, Dirty’s is an Austin institution – one of the things that makes Austin, Austin. Dirty’s has been around since 1926, specializing in hamburgers. My mother once told me about eating at Dirty’s as a child, probably in the early 1930’s. Recently a schoolmate of mine was in town from Houston and his lunch request was that we go to Dirty’s for a hamburger! They’re that good!
Anyway, Mark had his chef prepare a couple of hamburger steaks using Condalia Farms Brand grassfed Steakburger. In fact, he used the entire pound for two steaks! Wow, that’s a lot of meat. And this chef, I think he could have used boot leather and it would have tasted good – he added grilled onions on top, really tasty. We also had some of their standard beef prepared into yet another steak, for comparison. Theirs was quite good, as well, but we both got favorable impressions from the Condalia Farms Brand Steakburger.
We discussed how a party with a few of our friends, neighbors and customers could be a real win-win for LSGF and for Dirty’s. An evening thing, where we had hamburgers and hamburger steaks available, with all the trimmings. So, watch for this co-sponsored event, it ought to be fun and good eating!
