Wants to thank all of you who voted for us, First for Best Hamburger. We serve Sterling Silver Premium Beef because we believe in serving the best. Here are some of the reasons why Sterling Silver Premium is the best… • Top quality – only the top 12% of all beef meets the stringent standards of Sterling Silver Premium Beef • Hand-selected for superior marbling, which ensures incredible taste and tenderness • Grain-fed in the high plains of North America and perfectly aged for premium flavor, tenderness and appearance • Beef is aged for a minimum of 21 days • Each individual cut is close-trimmed and vacuumsealed to lock in freshness and flavor
