3:30 until lunch, I'll try it today. I know they will make your fries extra crispy, I always ask for that.

Yes, this is true. My usual order is: Cheeseburger Animal Style Medium Rare Whole Grilled Instead.

Funny that you say that you always get your burger delivered to you well done. My experience at In n Out, as well as others I've spoken to, is that the burger is delivered brown on the outside and RAW on the inside, even if you ask for well done. They simply don't have the time to wait for the burger to get fully cooked. I don't admire their risking food poisoning like this. Its a shame cause although I like their product, I've stopped going there because of this.

Ordering a burger medium rare at a fast food joint? Talk about taking your life into your hands (literally!)

What a bunch of hypochondriacs! First of all the chances of you getting food poisoning from beef is extremely rare, especially because of all the safeguards in place today. You are more likely to get sick from someone not washing their hands after going to the bathroom or transmitting an illness through poor hygiene than getting it through beef.

Secondly, I might agree with you about ordering a burger medium rare at a regular fast food place like McDonalds, but this is In-n-Out. These guys have different standards. Everything is fresh as it can be. I trust them implicitly.

Rob take it down a notch.

I should point out that most hamburger establishments let you do this. Burger King used to promote this with the "have it your way" commercials to differentiate themselves from McDonalds.

It does slow down their operation. If everyone ordered it cooked to their specs, the industry would have to re-brand itself as the "almost fast food industry", but this should not stop you from getting the burger you want.
