Burgers........ Has anyone else noticed that they have changed?

[Disneynut322]

We just returned from a trip to the World. My DH and DS are burger fanatics and that is one of their favorite things when we go to Disney -- they especially enjoy Pecos Bills, Beaches and Cream, Caribbean Beach food court, really pretty much anywhere. But, they both noticed that things seemed different this past trip. At first they just thought they were overcooked and overdone, (not to comment that they are now on wheat buns), but they thought the burgers themselves were different. After a few more, they decided that they must have changed their vendors or something. Burgers no longer held that Disney magic for them.

Anyone else recognize the changes? Another "healthful" decision? Just curious.

I've been reading "Aren't there any good burgers at WDW?" threads for almost ten years. I think burgers, and people, go through phases. :shrug:

Thinking out loud here, do you think they are cooking them well done to avoid any other issues, that undercooked meat can bring or so they think....Also, cooking them well done just makes them all the same and thus no requests for rare or medium etc.. time efficient..

In my best William Shatner voice: "Mad cow!"

I do know that a lot of my favorite restaurants around town, here, will no longer make me a medium-rare burger, and what they call medium I'd call medium-well. Alton Brown is continually complaining on his television show that the guidelines and rules that the experts are putting forward regarding food safety are basically cooking the fun out of food. In his opinion, the risks are worth it, but of course that's good for him when he's cooking, because he has no one to blame but himself if he gets sick. Restaurants have to worry about lawsuits even when they aren't the cause of the maladies they're accused of causing.
