Congrats on the E. Coli, brah.


ALL ground meat needs to be thoroughly cooked. It's not like a steak where bacteria can't permeate into the meat. When the meat is ground it comes into contact with the air even in the middle of the ground meat.

ETA: Sorry if this has already been discussed, I only read the 1st page.

I generally eat rare. Never happened to me.

But thanks for getting Gaston started

Oh well. I ordered it rare and have so numerous times here. Uncooked ground meat is glorious. I ate it as tartare all over France and I doubt they are a conscious about it as places here, you know with all of our lawyers and all.

Tartare is supposed to be freshly ground and will be less apt to be contaminated, right?

I wouldn't trust someone else to store and cook ground meat for me at a restaurant below medium.

I usually go to medium well. To each his own

They brown ones?

Well, if the inside has gotten brown, they're too far gone, I agree.

Mmmm, cold raw hamburger meat
