I stand by a medium rare burger. They are far superior to a well done burger.

Bourdain's point isn't that medium-rare burgers are necessarily better, but it should be the customer's choice if they want it. Restaurants that refuse to sell that are either not confident in their beef vendor or afraid of a lawsuit. Plus I can bet the people freaking out over this had food poisoning before, which sucks to have

If it needs to be overcooked to kill its bacteria, it has too much bacteria.

To anyone talking about illness or people getting sick, if you use high quality and fresh meat it is completely fine to serve rare-medium beef

All you people demonizing Bourdain don’t understand basic food safety. No, you should not get a medium rare burgers at sketchy places. That said, you can eat red meat raw. It is entirely about the food handling. Who ground it, when, and what was the expectation for its use. Great restaurants intending to serve it is medium rare burgers will grind and handle their beef as such.

This is one of the points I’ve always disagreed w/ AB. Burger should be m-mw and steak should be med/med rare

If the restaurant refuses its due to a safety related issue. People HAVE died from undercooked burgers. Some restaurants will follow a strict cooking protocol. For your own good.
