Thinking about it more, aside from just completely missing the point of the argument, your entire post is confused. Not only do you seem to think that people eat well-done burgers for any reason related to food safety, but you also seem to think that the only reason people cook steak at all is to cook the fat. That completely ignores the fact that putting a sear on a piece of meat is where you get most of the flavor and texture. If that wasn’t the case how come you never see a filet mignon served entirely raw? And speaking of filet, if you’ve ever cleaned a tenderloin you’d know that it comes with a layer of fat and silver skin on the outside, which is one more reason why it’s considered safer to consume tartare. The beef is typically going to be cleaned and chopped up the same day, which means everything on your plate has been exposed to the elements for a few hours at best.

I get the appeal; they’re like the poor man’s burnt ends. They’ve always just struck me as a passing fad for people who’ve never eaten anything other than fast food and think a smash burger is the height of culinary excellence because only exposed brick wall hipster places that sell Ramsay meatball burgers for $30 (fries not included) would ever serve a burger with a little pink in the middle, and a smash burger is just like my McDonald’s but someone figured out how to add a little flavor and texture. Smash burgers were “invented” by short order diner cooks looking for a way to get food off the flat-top as quickly as possible, but all of a sudden people are treating them like some magical new culinary technique. And I like burnt ends.

Two more weeks, anon. Trust the plan. You can also be assured that when I go it will have nothing to do with the hundreds if not thousands of “undercooked” burgers I’ve consumed over the years.

Curious how you were drawn to it so quickly and posted a reply in under 2 minutes.
