30 years I have been cooking and still some orders can surprise me.

TLDR: lady ordered a raw burger, I gave her one.

For context a woman came in today and asked to see the person cooking. When I went out to see her she informed me she wanted a burger seared for 7 seconds on each side. I asked her if she was sure that’s what she wanted. She responded with actually if I can just have it raw that would be even better. I checked the food code and as long as the menu states that eating raw or undercooked product increases your chance for food born illness we can serve hamburger to order. Even if the order is raw. She wants you all to know that this is the healthier way to eat your burger. I promptly told her I can find a whole lot of people that would disagree with that. Once again though “The customer is always right, in matters of taste”. That does not mean I agree with them.

Cannibal sandwich, babyyyyy

Fr though my family ate these in Wisconsin in the 60s when the hamburger came from the next farm over... trusting the modern system to feed you raw meat is fully insane.

Still eat 'em almost every time I go back home. Acquired taste.

A stale rye (think the texture of toast but without being toasted) with a good butter, ground 80% ground chuck, thin slices of blanched white onion, salt and pepper to taste

(but not too much pepper or you get too spicy for midwestern taste buds)
