Yeah, WTF is up with people cooking hamburger to death these days? I'm all about the midwest beef but I went to a place in Cedar Rapids, not realizing that pretty much EVERYONE cooks their beef to medium-well or worse!
I felt like I was trying to chew through a hockey puck. From then on out the rest of this trip, I specified that I wanted my burgers cooked medium-RARE. Much better after that.
And given the fact that I get out to Vegas at least once a year, I'd be cool with a meetup for a night of debauchery at the Venetian, etc., or the casino that has the "short person" (can't say midget now, must be PC) who alternates being on the strip getting people inside or walking on the bar pouring shots into people's mouths...(At Flamingo's/Bill's)...
