Seriously, is it a rule in Canada that you can't sell a Med or Med Rare burger? You just have to hold a temp for a certain amount of time and you get the juiciest burger ever. At home its 150 degrees at 90 secs for me.
Probably has to do with the fact health inspectors would probably put a stop to it relatively quickly. The restaurant would have to be very confident in regards to where they are sourcing their beef and would have to get the blessing of local health inspectors or it's a non-starter in Canada. Frozen patties for sure are a no-go in regards to being cooked medium rare.
