We’re not sure what Robert’s problem is but apparently he doesn’t appreciate the hard work Dairy Queen went into making him and his family four delicious cheeseburgers. Irregardless of the futility of the endeavor, he has decided to make it his personal mission to try to sic the health department on his local Dairy Queen, simply because his burgers came out nearly raw. News flash Robert! Ever heard of a steak tartare? This is a Freedom Steak, and you don’t have to go into one of them fancy-pants restaurants to get it. His ill-informed ranting and more pictures of tasty burgers, after the jump…
I emailed about this in the past with a pic of a poorly assembled fish sandwich…now they are just trying to poison people by undercooking the meat. That may actually be an illegal act in the state of Washington since we have food safety laws about undercooking food. Anyway, here are some pics of the offending burgers and a copy of the message I sent to DQ via their web form. As usual, the phone in the local DQ went unanswered when I tried to call to complain. I left a message with the local health dept and am awaiting a call back from them.What I sent to DQ…added the parenthesis after the fact, their form has that info already but thought it would be good to include here:
Went to this DQ (230 128th St W, Everett, WA 98204.) again tonight (03/09/08) after refusing to go there for a while due to their sub-par food. I have submitted multiple complaints about this store in the past and tonight’s experience will lead me to go to the authorities. We purchased 4 cheeseburgers and a couple of Oreo brownie blast things. The cheeseburgers were basically raw. Not just 1 but every one we have looked at so far which is 3 of 4. They are not only dangerous but illegal in this state due to laws designed to keep from poisoning people. I will be taking them to the Snohomish County Health Dept. in the morning to illustrate my report. Also, I think I will be sending a copy of this message along with pics of the burgers to The Consumerist, a consumer blog located at http://www.consumerist.com so that everyone can see how Dairy Queen cooks their burgers incompletely.
Thank you for your time and attention,
Robert F.
Our advice to Robert is to go back to this Dairy Queen and offer to work there for free for a few days to make up for his wasting the time of struggling small business owners by having the gall to file baseless complaints with the redtapeocrats.

I can’t wait till we start hearing about lead tainted burgers.
Those burgers look damn tasty. This guy should STFU and eat.
If he really can’t get them down, he should talk to Tax Dog. He looks hungry.
Oh my god, those are practically mooing! Call PETA! Call the National Guard! Call the police! Soylent burgers is people!
e coli shmecoli – ground meat is very much susceptible to e coli poisoning if it is undercooked.
@jefuchs: Um, it’s “gaffe” in this context – “gaff” is something else. Irony much?
I used to work at a Dairy Queen for 3 years the manager would tell me to pull the meat up all bloody and put them in the meat holder but of course I would never listen as soon as they walked out I would put them burgers back on the grill and I would finish cooking them, they also would leave meat in the holder until it got all dry and rubbery and serve them. The cheese holders would be discusting so I would wash them out cuz few others would. I would make sure customers got what they paid for wether is was a blizzard or food but I also got fired cuz out manager who smokes marijuana on the clock yelled at me for nothing and I said find out whats going on before you start yelling at people she screams all the more and clocks me out so I clock myself back in I now refer to her as Mrs. Piggy I really liked working at DQ and the feeling of making sure things got made well and I also kept everything clean and sanitized. But yeah I complained to cooperate for over a week now about the manager maybe they will finally do something about it now and find a sober manager that dont yell and scream at folks.
