I know folks who prefer the cheeseburger because it tastes better than the double cheeseburger.

I have to say the McDouble works for me because the one slice of cheese allows for the meat flavor to come through more than on the double cheeseburger.

I know this is off the subject, but the new Angus Mushroom & Swiss is good!

I want to know why the double cheeseburger was cheaper than the cheeseburger for a while. does anyone remember that? one was $1 and the other $1.29

They're tastey but they're like 700 calories each!!!!!!

Hell YEA I would send it back - I ASKED FOR RAW!

I like a burger once in a while. But you may as well devote a site to colonoscopy at this rate.

I love them!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd send it back if it's overcooked to the point where it tastes dry. If it's medium and still juicy I'll eat it. I generally wouldn't send back an undercooked burger unless it was almost completely raw.

A properly cooked burger with spit on it tastes much better than a dry chunk of charcoal! j/k

Steak and prime rib always go back if I don't see red.

Without question: the burger goes back.

BTW after watching the show I went to a wholesale distributor that I have bought raw breaded cod "squares" from in the past... I paid $40.00 for
24 - 4oz portions... if my math serves me right, that is $1.60 per portion!!!
I think I'll just buy mine @ McD's

I've sent it back 3x unbelievable! I like mine xtra rare so if it's not the way I want it back it goes.....

I agree with @yr momz - I don't trust the restaurants hygiene levels to not give me some illness from the undercooked meat.

If I want a medium rare burger, I'll grind the meat myself and prepare it myself. Otherwise I go for medium well in a restaurant.

I have no doubts or hesitations - send it back!!!!!! You're paying for your food to be prepared to your specifications, and if something you clearly ordered isn't prepared properly and would be truly nauseating to you (as a well done burger is to me), then you are neither obliged to eat it or pay for it. The chefs, restaurant owners or managers should also be aware when something is amiss, as a service establishment, particularly a premium one, that doesn't deliver what customers are paying for is unlikely to survive for long.

I do send badly cooked food, including incinerated burgers, back. I only had one waiter/restaurant give me a hard time - I specifically asked if a fish special was filleted and ended up with a whole fish. The establishment was gone a few months later.

only if it is cooked gray -- i TRULY don't like the flavor of cooked-through ground beef. and i ask for rare, so this would have to be a big misstep in the cooking.
