A visitor from the U.S. got more than they asked for at a Toronto hotel restaurant when they ordered a cheeseburger on Monday night that was served with a waiver on the side.

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.

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.

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)

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.
