A visitor from the U.S. got more than they asked for at a Toronto hotel restaurant when they ordered a cheeseburger on Monday night that was served with a waiver on the side.

As a consumer, I would see the presence of such a waiver as a prompt to think about what necessitated this in the first place. Perhaps this kitchen isn't as clean as it could be, and something happened to prompt this level of (legal) caution. Yeah, it could have been an overzealous patron looking for a payday, but maybe someone had a legit case?

Nah it’s a cultural thing. Burgers done to not well done is common in the US. It definitely isn’t in Canada. They’re almost always well done.

First time in the U.S. being asked how I like my burger was actually confusing to me.

That's not a Pittsburgh style burger.

If you come to a place and ask for a burger done Pittsburger style they will hard hard hard sear the outside, for a single second and then leave the inside as raw as possible.
