Ruby Tuesday Triple Prime Burger
I had seen the television commercial for months. What could be better than a hamburger made with 100% USDA prime prime tenderloin, prime ribeye and prime sirloin? The Triple Prime Burger looks delicious on TV, but I am pretty disappointed with the real thing. It is much, much smaller than I expected, and the one I was served was slightly overcooked. For a burger made with such fine meat, I thought it would have much more flavor. Better (and less expensive) burgers are easy to find – just go to almost any fast food joint.
Phoood rating: 
It makes little sense to take three steak meats, grind them up together, and put them in a burger. So it's no surprise that this doesn't taste that good. The best hamburger meat is about 80% lean, and it doesn't matter if the fat is marbled or not (which is why Kobe beef burgers are stupid).
Great site, Jim, thanks for bringing it back!

Posted by: Kay at October 15, 2007 8:00 AMI had a Triple Prime Burger the other day and it was very delicious.. I also had it cooked medium rare. It had all the great flavor of a great steak but on a bun! Such amazing flavor that I didn't even have to use any condiments on it. I can't wait to have another..
Posted by: Mary at December 8, 2007 6:59 PMI am rating purely on taste, Jim's comment on size is different and irrelevant to taste. As to overcooking, some people like it cooked well, that's your choice; again you can not use that as a criteria for rating their taste. It is very tasty burger; surprisingly. Ruby Tuesday's in my mind has always been crap; this burger changed my point of view.
