An old timer at the meat counter told me my ground beef was too lean, and he was right

I was grinding 90/10 chuck for my burger patties because I thought leaner meant better, but a guy who's been cutting meat for 35 years in Bakersfield told me I was cooking all the flavor out. Switched to 80/20 and the patties actually hold together and taste like something now. What fat ratio do you all run for your burger meat?
