Massachusetts got real paranoid about raw food a few years ago. There's disclaimers at the bottom of every menu warning you that eating raw and undercooked food may be bad for you, and dishes containing raw/undercooked ingredients must also be denoted as such in their listing. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the places around here rarify their eyeround just to keep the city off their backs.

That said, slightly rarified != fully cooked, that's for sure.
