Word. Only the old and sick die from E coli poisoning (and a few random outliers that God wanted to hit with a truck but didn't have the energy).

A burger better done than medium is a burger not worth eating. Fact.

Eat all the burgers you want – e.coli's a natural laxative.

Did you bury the cow in the Pet Cemetary and get a cranky zombie cow a few days later?

or does that only work in Maine?

Grinding my own meat sounds great and very Martha until I have to clean the damn grinder.

NOM. I love brioche. Thems my jam. DuMont and Landmarc have bomb buns so this is up my alley. Thank you. E.coli schmeecoli.

E.coli actually plays a functioning role in my raw cookie dough-only diet, as it perfectly offsets the weight gain.

Henry Social? I meant Henry Public. It must have been conflated with Brooklyn Social in my mind.

Anyway…juicy, flavorful, on a soft brioche that is firm enough to contain the juices without getting soggy, great cheddar cheese, no other fixin's to distract you from the experience. Their cocktails are also delish.

I had my first cheeseburger in six months last night. Medium rare. I've always had great timing like that.

There is also a ghost cow called 'The Midnight Cow' that met a similar fate!

Also: you can't get there from here, young fella'.

Grind your own beef at home (I've got a meat grinder I'm willing to share if anyone in the West Village wants to bring their chuck by…) and NEVER order a burger medium or medium rare.

Which eats into your drinking and smoking funds like e. coli in your intestines! That is why I don't live in the big city.

Not only that, I've found prices on local and organic produce sometimes actually lower in NYC than the burbs.

Funny story – well, not so much funny as true.

There was a slaughter house down road from my house growing up – we lived near a farm, in Vermont, 'nuff said.

One day one of the cows broke out of said slaughter house and proceeded to make it's way down the (rather busy) rural route that our house was near (I lost a lot of cats and dogs and had my very own Pet Cemetary!).

Anyway, about 30 yards from our door, the cow got hit and killed.

By a milk truck.

I will keep eating supermarket hamburger, and I will buy extra A-1 Sauce to mask the taste of the E. Coli.
