Nasty, nasty, nasty. I ordered a burger med rare. It showed up well
done. My son ordered his medium. It ended up over well. They've got
these hot rolls that they bring out, but do they have butter? No.
They have this disgusting mixture of trans-fats and garlic that they
expect you to slather on. On top of that, they have the worst steak
sauce I've ever tasted.
We went there because someone said they had free kids meals with adult
meal purchase. They do, but I'll not be taking advantage of that
again.
Nasty.

You are right....don't most restaurants warn against ordering ground
beef med rare along with undercooked seafood?

We must cook our burgers well done to prevent E Coli poisoning. I miss a
good rare burger, but with things the way they are, it seems nothing is safe
anymore....thank goodness its still OK to eat a rare steak!

If you buy meat from a butcher you trust and grind it yourself, you can
cook rare hamburgers with no more risk of illness than rare steaks.

I really don't believe that O'Charlie's uses this procedure....
....the cause of the original posting.

Strange, I'm on the wife's PC and it only has OE and the TO line shows
"stl.dining,rec.food.restaurants". What are you using?

I'm sure glad I live in a state that hasn't mandated that. You can
still get rare burgers all over St. Louis.

it is a well known fact all red meat has E Coli on it's surface, regardless
of how good a butcher joe blow is. It is inherent on red meat...thats why
it's ok to have a rare steak becasue the ecoli gets destroyed on the surface
of the steak, but when you grind it up the surface meat gets put in to the
middle and if not cooked enough "can" potentially give you E. Coli
poisoning...I don't care how nice and clean joe blow's shop is...just go to
a slaughter house and I have, you would probably never eat red meat
again...and certainly would never eat a hot dog or sausage.

Well, do YOU still eat red meat and sausages?

Also, I've been eating raw beef since I was a kid. Haven't gotten sick
yet.

I could kill a cow and cut out a piece of meat and eat it raw and still
warm from life.
