But I had never cooked them before, so I didn't know 'how I like'

As I have told you, I have never had a Wimpy burger. I told you I didn't
like the look of them.... thin, flat, hard looking discs which was not
something I intended to replicate at home.

I went to the USDA site and got good information - cook slowly to 160f and
they were perfect!
