Done; way ahead of you by a few years. (I thought they'd all been
closed, but that's neither here nor there.)

This surprises and pleases me. The last time I ordered a burger
at Chili's - again, some years ago - I asked for it medium-rare,
and was told to fuck off. [1] Short on time and options, I pleaded
that it at least be broiled/grilled to the lower end of the medium-
well - well-done range that they would agree to, but it came
out dry and tasteless.
I guess I'll go back and try again.

[1] In somewhat more polite terms than that, but the message
was the same.
