This should not be done with store bought ground beef. But no issue if you were to do this with a fresh cut of beef ground up right before serving.

Rare beef is extremely safe when fresh and not exposed to oxygen for a long time. People aren’t keeling over eating tartare or rare steak every day in the finest restaurants.

Yep- the article is talking about buying beef already ground- hamburger- that’s not the way to go at all- Alton Brown talks about the ‘obligatory precautions’ but then goes on to basically say with fresh steak meat that you chop yourself to Tar tar-, the risk is near zero

If they serve sashimi in Japanese restaurants, then what's wrong with this? It sounds like it's prepared in a similar manner, i.e., freshly served, not store-bought.
