Burgers In NSW Will Soon Suck: Here's Why
The NSW Food Authority has announced a crackdown on hamburgers, with restaurants threatened with stiff fines for failing to cook patties the entire way through. If you live in NSW and enjoy juicy burgers, this is a pretty depressing state of affairs. In short, our famed burgers are about to get a lot drier and less tasty. Mary’s, we hardly knew ye.
New food guidelines spearheaded by NSW food inspectors will require all hamburger mince to be cooked until there is no visible pink meat, reports Business Insider. This has caused anger among NSW chefs and burger connoisseurs who believe the health risks posed by medium-cooked patties have been exaggerated.
According to the NSW Food Authority, pink burger mince has been linked to a number of cases of food poisoning, specifically E. coli which has been known to cause death. Under the new guidelines, burger patties must therefore be cooked the whole way through to ensure consumer safety.
To reduce the potential for foodborne illnesses, chefs have been instructed to cook mince meat right through to the centre. No pink should be visible and juices should run clear with an internal temperature of no less than 71°C.
However, the burger-poisoning incidents cited in the authority’s ‘Hamburger Food Safety’ fact sheet actually occurred in the US where food safety standards are less stringent. Furthermore, the risk of E. coli usually relates to frozen patties, whereas most of the Australian chefs who are taking umbrage prepare their meat fresh daily.
With fines of up to $1540 per offense, it’s a safe bet that most NSW burger joints will begrudgingly fall in line. If you notice a sudden change in the quality of your burgers, these new guidelines are probably to blame.

Ugh you guys, I missed doughnut day yesterday. Not sure if this was a national or international day but either way there were free doughnuts around. Supposedly some containing actual gold! Those ones possibly were not free.

Also can someone please try the McDonald's chips with gravy and report back? That is such an awesome combo and not exactly unique to McDonald's but I'd like to know if they did a decent job.
I'm still on my freaking diet - I really want a review as well

Oh the thread is no place for a dieter! Maybe I'll have to take one for the team and get the chips myself!

Yes do! Report back!
Yeah, even if I wasn't on a diet, I'm not a fan of Macca's fries - they are very much inferior to HJ's, and it is one of the main reasons I chose HJ's over Maccas.

Totally agree. McDonald's is good overall but HJs is definitely my favourite, I effing love their burgers and their fries are so much better. KFC has the best chips, but not much else.
Speaking of HJs, I saw they have a new stunner meal featuring some nuggets. I never knew this was missing from my life until now.
Sorry delcan, I feel bad to quote you when you're on a diet! Umm how good are salads? Apparently if you take the skin off nuggets they're reasonably diet-friendly!
I want an air fryer. I'm just not sure if I would use it enough to justify both the price and the bench space.

It really is worth the trouble if, like my family, you used to deep fry everything. Tastes the same, maybe even a little better as it's fresher.
It doesn't bother me. I can watch the Food Network all day long and not get hungry. It's just about discipline for me - it's a mind game. I eat crap on impulse, not because I am craving it. Does that make sense?
