Is there anything more disconcerting than being asked to sign a waiver before tucking into a hamburger?
An American visitor to Toronto shocked hundreds of Reddit users last week by sharing that he was asked to sign a waiver when he ordered a medium-cooked hamburger at a Hilton hotel restaurant.
“She brought it and it looked great! When I had my first bite she brought me a release form and said we always make our burgers well done, but since you wanted it medium … you should sign this.”
The poster said that upon the special “medium” request, the waiter informed the man that the only burger option was well done and requested them to sign the form.
The form stated it would clear the hotel restaurant against any claims for damages related to any foodborne illnesses arising from the medium-cooked burger.

That’s not even medium.
And, this is why corporate chefs produce garbage.
I know that several years ago, when I was out of NY State traveling south, some restaurants wouldn't give you a rare piece of meat. Medium or well done were the only options.
Medium? Why would he want an overcooked burger?
Grew up eating medium hamburgers and never got sick. Most did back then, it was common.
Saw two beautiful young women (jeunes femmes) eating raw burgers with green peppers, onion and spices - weird.
What, no fries? Pickle?
It’s Canuckistan. They do things differently up in the Frozen North, eh ...
More like medium rare
This could be so much fun.
All kinds of editorial comments could be made on the form.
Nasty comments about lawyers would be good.
If you want medium rare, you have to sign over your first born.
Have the steer walk in the sunshine before ya grind it and grill it.
That’s cooked enough for me.
I would never eat a hamburger not well done. Never know about that ground up meat. Steaks, medium rare or rare.
I had to sign a waiver once because I asked that they cook a burger as rare as legally possible.
“When I had my first bite she brought me a release form...”
Sorry sweetie. I’ve already had a couple of bites. Thanks just the same....
How many cases of Trichinosis or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) have they had in Toronto?
In Toronto. I wonder if there is a release form for poutine.
If you had already taken a bite the form was moot. They should have had you sign first. There was a hair salon that, during covid, wanted you to sign a waver. They asked me to sign after my haircut. I said no. They seemed surprised.
I prefer my hamburger or steak cooked by threat
