[QUOTE="solid_mario"][QUOTE="DJ_Lae"]Who the hell orders medium rare burgers? That's like asking someone to inject your intestines with e. coli.
Having said that, I do like my steak medium rare. Too rare and the flesh has too soft a consistency and too low a temperature. I've had steaks that were hot on the outside and cold on the inside and they're disgusting.
Too well-done, of course, and you lose much of the blood and juice, and that's not right either.

I'm sorry but I have eaten steak rare my whole life and I've never gotten any illness off it. Rare is the only way to have it. Flash fried on the outside for a crispy outer bit and then pink/blue in the middle.Steak is fine to have rare, but burgers are a different story: in the grinding process, the bacteria that normally exists on the outer layer of the meat gets ground up with the rest inside the moist meat. Once it's spread around like that, it's an E-coli shopping mall. That's why burgers are always supposed to be well-done, but steak can be rare.

Although i'll agree that Fuddruckers makes the best damned burgers, I was always baffled about the rare/medium/well question they ask. anyways, when it comes to steaks, i like mine pulp fiction-style: bloody as hell.
