Okay, actually, I read it somewhere. Probably Cook’s Illustrated—where else do I read kitchen tips on a regular basis?

The pre-ground / pre-packaged stuff that comes from giant meat processing plants was not a staple item at the time but my grandmother didn't trust that even her supposedly reliable local butcher would be selling 100% ground chuck unless it was ground to order while you watched. To this day I think it's still a good practice for many reasons - quality being only one of them.</p> As a child in the 1930’s my mom was regularly sent around the corner to the neighborhood market with specific instructions to buy ground beef only in this manner.
