The chopped burger is pretty good but the appeal to me is that it's not like
ground beef or pork. That's a good thing. I use a tiny toy food chopper
thingie. Your chopper thingie looks to be a nicer size and design. I haven't
seen one of those with the motor on the top. I like that - it simplifies the
design.
