In Which I Rant (Briefly) About an Undercooked Burger

• I've always heard Medium Well is the best bet. That way you don't have all the nasty creepy crawlies but it also doesn't taste like dried out ground shoe leather. I agree with Willie, though... most places overcook it.

• Shouldn't you always order a hamburger well-done. I mean Steak is fine to have medium it is a solid piece of beef with bacteria on the outside that easily is burned off even in rare preparations. But ground beef is permeated with bacteria during the grinding process... see http://www.fsis.usda.gov/OA/news/1998/colorpr.htm

• A few months ago my husband came home with a bag of undercooked sliders. Brown on the surfaces, red around the edges. And no, they weren't from White Castle.

• Lucky. Most of the time when I order a hamburger it's over cooked.
