Family-Owned Fourth Generation Ground Beef Purveyor Issues Study on Burger Trends, and Predictions for 2016
NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- It's been a busy year in the burger industry: from new ground beef blends to the 'meat on meat' craze, one thing remains true – America loves its burgers. Schweid & Sons, a family-owned and operated fourth generation ground beef purveyor, went out far and wide in 2015, conducting a comprehensive study on all things burger-related that yielded the 2015 Burger Trends Report.*
"What we have seen from the 2015 report is that some things may never change in the burger business," says Jamie Schweid, Executive Vice President of Schweid & Sons. "The classic Hamburger will always be made with 80/20 ground chuck, covered in American cheese and served on a squishy bun."
A Look at 2015 Burger Trends
The burger is one of the most talked about items in the restaurant industry and 2015 held its own surprises and revelations for America's beloved dish.
The Future of Burgers
With 2016 just weeks away, Schweid has reflected on 2015 findings and evolution within the industry to share his predictions for the year ahead:
Overall, Schweid sums up 2016 with a simple prediction: "When all is said and done, no matter how many options are on a restaurant's burger menu, the simple Cheeseburger will always be the most popular one."
*The 2015 Burger trend report was compiled based on sales figures from Schweid & Sons customers across the country, which consists of predominantly single-unit operators and independent restaurants.
About Schweid & Sons
In the late 1800s, Harry Schweid began selling high quality meats to butchers and restaurants in New York City's Lower East Side, a tradition his son Sam carried on into the 1930s with his Harlem-based butcher shop. In 1978, Sam's son David Schweid decided to hone in his family's rich butchery heritage and founded a company that focused solely on high quality ground beef – Schweid & Sons. Today, that passion is carried on at Schweid & Sons – a family-owned fourth generation beef purveyor with a dedication to bringing "The Very Best Burger" to consumers by offering a range of ground beef, including Certified Angus Beef®, custom blends, USDA Prime®, All Natural, Wagyu and more. Located in Carlstadt, NJ, Schweid & Sons supplies their ground beef to supermarkets, restaurants and special events nationwide.
