I probably will after discovering the medium rare fact!
Not that it's supposed to be that dangerous for adults. More for kids and the pregnant or the frail, I think. But all the same, I could do without getting sick/the shits from a burger.

Each to their own, but I just don't like it.
Doesn't deliver on taste or (especially) value for money as far as I'm concerned.

I see...makes sense.
I always ask for it medium if they do it. I would expect it to be more on the done side than the rare though.
Jury's out on my best burger that I have had in a restaurant. I can't ever really remember being blown away. I like making my own which are pretty damn good.
Watched Richard E Grant in some hotel programme the other day and he ate a 5 grand burger. Ridiculous. Although that came with a vintage bottle of red which was worth that at least apparantly.

Byron is so overrated
Come on then?
I'm a big fan of the Byron sauce and their skin on chips are excellent.

They need a licence to sell them medium rare.
Different to steak because all the bacteria is just on the outside of a steak and its all killed by frying/grilling. As a burger is minced, the bacteria is all through it, and the middle never gets hot enough to kill it all off.

Byron is so overrated. Been there about 3 times, seen as so many people seem to rave about it and I figured maybe I just had a bad one first time. Bang average burger, no way worth the money. I have come away disappointed every single time.

If its made from mince, I'd be careful about eating rare burgers.

Re: Five Guys...
Deans Diner's are awful. I got a take away from there and it was so horrendous i took photos of it and wrote a letter. I got a free meal out of it, which was only slightly better and probably because we ate in and they were being over friendly. But as burgers go, crap.
I had a burger the other day in a decent cafe in Brighton and asked if i could have it cooked medium, the waitress said that restaurants have to have a licence to sell burgers anything other than well done. Which seemed odd. Surely it's no different to serving a medium rare steak.

No way was Mocha better. Although I used it a lot as it was closer to the palais.
Mocha all on was a beauty.

Decent chips, and massive (ie too big really) portions, but the burgers aren't anything special. For about £12 once you've added up burger, chips, and drink, seems like you're paying a lot for the novelty to me. Even GBK felt like better value for money for what you get, and that's not exactly exciting either.
