This is secondhand, but according to Julia Child, a meat grinder works
better because you do not end up with chopped gristle in the meat.
Instead, the gristle stays in the screen of the grinder, where
you can manually remove it from time to time.

Not true. I never saw a meat grinder with a screen. If you put
gristle in it will grind it... will even grind small bones, will grind
poultry bones easily.
