You are correct! It is only ground up meat that they tell you is dangerous. And to sanitize EVERYTHING when handling poultry!

The only time I've ever had an issue with a restaurant (PA or NJ) cooking meat less than medium is when ordering ground meat, burgers, chopped sirloin etc. They have to mention the possibility of getting sick for their own protection. Other than the vocal warning, I've never had a restaurant refuse a Pittsburgh style steak. Neither have I ever become sick from eating less than medium beef.

I've ordered bloody rare 2/3 lb. burgers from Fudruckers and they never mention ecoli or saminela or his brother salminela.:D

Cath, I perfer to think luck has nothing to do with it.:D

I don't however want to get too cocky about it because in the blink of an eye a small bite of bad meat can knock even the most stout of us out of commision for a week. Plus I don't drink alcohol (mmmmm a very dry Bombay Saphire martini and beef) anymore so the germs aren't being killed off. LOL

Nice restaurants will usually be willing to cook a rare steak. Good luck getting most chains to do so though. I know the 99 Restaurant won't even go below "Medium".
