re: Dipping your burger into a sauce?

I used to do med-rare, but I've converted to medium. Obviously I don't want an overcooked dry hockey puck, but I just don't enjoy a cool-center burger. If you hit medium just right, the fat has just started to melt so its juicy and hot.

Mid-rare shouldn’t have a cool center. And I hear you on a perfect hot medium, but I’ve found that ordering medium rare generally telegraphs “I care about how my burger is cooked” more than medium does. And if you’re going to send out my burger medium well or worse, just let me know in advance. I’ll order chicken.
