As a consumer, I would see the presence of such a waiver as a prompt to think about what necessitated this in the first place. Perhaps this kitchen isn't as clean as it could be, and something happened to prompt this level of (legal) caution. Yeah, it could have been an overzealous patron looking for a payday, but maybe someone had a legit case?
Nah it’s a cultural thing. Burgers done to not well done is common in the US. It definitely isn’t in Canada. They’re almost always well done.
First time in the U.S. being asked how I like my burger was actually confusing to me.
It's a regulations thing and it changed in the last 30 years (after a bunch of e.coli or mad cow disease cases happened I think)
You will typically find a disclaimer on the menus about undercooked food.
Yep, you’ll see asterisks by eggs, too, since they need to be cooked to 165 °C to be safe from salmonella, but over easy and sunny side up are obviously quite common.
look up a Pittsburgh style burger fuckin nasty
@deft @ebits21 Would 100% eat! https://www.chocolatemoosey.com/primanti-style-burger-with-french-fries-and-coleslaw/
That's not a Pittsburgh style burger.
If you come to a place and ask for a burger done Pittsburger style they will hard hard hard sear the outside, for a single second and then leave the inside as raw as possible.
@deft Okay, that’s an “ew” from me, then. 🤷♂️😅
They asked for meat to be cooked at a lower temp than Health Canada recommends. It makes sense that you need to sign stuff if you tell the kitchen to do something that isn't recommended.
what necessitated this in the first placeLaws.
