I live in Southern California. The Inland Empire to be exact. Those of us lucky to reside in San Bernardino or Riverside county know of a 'local' fast food joint called Bakers. Bakers only serves the inland empire. They have f­u­c­k­ing amazing food. Burgers, Tacos, burritos, and a lot more. I'm not afraid to say that they blow In-N-Out out of the water. Well, their ground beef in particular is like the best ground beef in the world. They mix something amazing with it and let it simmer for days I imagine. Because of this their ground beef burritos are to die for. Just Ground beef, taco sauce, and cheese.

Well to my point.

I'm going to be finally moving out of California soon. Not entirely sure when, but it'll be soon. This makes me glee at the thought of leaving, but the loss of my favorite place to get a burger or burrito, Bakers, saddens me profusely. So, I've been trying to figure out their ground beef recipe, but I simply cannot replicate it.

So being the cheeky bastard I am, I emailed their corporate asking for the secret formula to the ground beef. It was all a joke, never expected a real reply.

Well a few days later, I get an email. It's their corporate basically saying, "Hey, enjoyed the comment. We can't give you the 'secret formula' because it's proprietary. But thanks for being a great customer!"

Well, I got this in the mail today.

Send it to a laboratory to get it tested for its ingredients.

That's the plan.

That's actually pretty funny, small business > lifeless corporate machines

Wouldn't say they are small. They have 38 locations in the IE. Thing is, they are ONLY in the IE and no where else.
