probably a dumb question

At the Whispering Canyon Cafe is the angus burger, just a regular hamburger, cause that is about the only thing I see on the menu that my 13 year old son might eat and I really want to go there.

Regular burger made from chef angus.

Angus burger is just a higher quality type of beef...suppose to be better grade meat. So nothing special just a reg. burger made with a better quality beef.

You've probably had them before and not even realized it. I think even places like Applebees and TGI Fridays serve Angus beef burgers.

Actually, the reason there is a classification called Angus is because the common belief that it is a superior cut of beef. For beef to qualify to be called "Certified Angus Beef" it must meet a series of quality characteristics that are not necessarily in other forms of beef.

So basically, "Angus" means this beef has been quality tested.

So, "in essence" it is a better cut of beef.... although just because another brand of beef is not tested the same way doesn't mean it isn't every bit as good as Angus. Just a little FYI

Bottom line is weezy.... if your son enjoys a good burger, he shouldn't be disappointed.

angus beef is from angus cows. if you dont want to believe me ask the American Angus Association.

angus beef is from angus cows. if you dont want to believe me ask the American Angus Association.

The American Angus Association set up the "Certified Angus Beef" brand in 1978. The goal of this brand was to promote the idea that Angus beef was of higher quality than beef from other breeds of cattle. Cattle are eligible for "Certified Angus Beef" evaluation if they are at least 51% black and exhibit Angus influence, which include Black Simmental beef and crossbreds. However, they must meet all 10 of the following criteria, which were refined in January 2007 to further enhance product consistency, to be labeled "Certified Angus Beef" by USDA Graders:[16]

* Modest or higher degree of marbling
* Medium or fine marbling texture
* "A" maturity
* 10 to 16-square-inch ribeye area
* Less than 1,000-pound hot carcase weight
* Less than 1-inch fat thickness
* Moderately thick or thicker muscling
* No hump on the neck exceeding 5 cm (2 inches)
* Practically free of capillary rupture
* No dark cutting characteristics

Thanks disneystick, for clarifying my point. My point Dalt was not that their aren't Angus cows. I was merely pointing out why the beef industry says the angus cows are a better cut of beef

Aberdeen Angus, yet another thing that Scotland has given the world. Your son will certainly enjoy it and you will too.
