We've talked a lot about our doneness preferences, but how about hamburgers? Do you eat them anything other than well done?

What kind of mongoloid each their burgers well done?
I think a lot of people do, and I think it has to do with the
health concerns related to ground beef. In fact, the CDC and FDA both say
ground beef should be cooked to 160 degrees Farenheit (well done), and this applies to both ground beef you get at the supermarket and beef you grind up at home. This is because all the bacteria that is on the surface of the meat (which you would quickly kill by cooking it as a steak) is now mixed up with the rest of it.
Here's a good video about it featuring an interview with the director of the Center of Food Safety. I'm only now learning about all this; when I cook burgers at home, they always come out medium/trending to medium rare, but mostly by accident!

I feel like that guidance for ground beef was taken much more seriously back in the 90s.

Yeah I have no concerns about eating my steaks medium rare (just cooked up an incredible ribeye, perfectly pink throughout -- I'm getting good at this!), but reading the information about the surface bacteria and how it can get mixed up in ground beef kinda squicked me out just now

Medium-rare to medium on the burger. More than that and it’s ruined
