Strassburger Meats, which has supplied Manhattan’s finest steakhouses with top-quality steak for more than 150 years, recently celebrated National Beef Burger Day by introducing StrassBurgers, made from 100 percent top-quality ground beef. StrassBurgers debuted exclusively in Morton Williams Supermarkets in Manhattan.
“We’ve been in the meat business forever, and know where the best meat comes from, whether you’re talking about prime steak or great-tasting ground beef,” said Strassburger CEO Suzanne Strassburger, who is the first woman to run the fifth-generation family company.
Strassburger customers have been asking for a premium burger, so the company set to work assembling the right team and the right equipment. Its new burger-making facility earned a score of 97 on a Safe Quality Food audit, which is a certification recognized by the Global Food Safety Institute.
Strassburger Meats is readying a Father’s Day special that will include StrassBurgers in the mix with top cuts of prime steak.
Suzanne Strassburger is marking her 29th year in the family meat business, based in Carlstadt, New Jersey. She had every job in the place before moving on to customer relations. One of her first calls was to the meat buyer for a steakhouse, who rudely told her she should get out of the meat business. Today, that man is her husband—and he works for her.
“Meat is our family’s passion,” Strassburger said. “We live and breathe great steaks, and now we’re adding great burgers to the mix. Thanks to American ranchers.”
