I found a leftover burger in the back of a cabinet in my basement (I love happy nom nom surprises!), but there's a black speck on it that looks a little "off".

What's the right temp to re-heat it to when there's something like that, and how long should the burger be heated for?

It looks amazing. I would keep it for a hypothetical nuclear winter. I would cover it with hot chocolate, and let it cool again in a dark, cool, humid place. Afterwards, I would cover it with another layer of chocolate and leave it somewhere, sad, cold, damp, moldy, dark, next to some old, rusty bicycle. Then, when winter came, after a few glasses of whiskey, I would go down to the basement in my flannel pajamas, cover it with hot chocolate, and put it away somewhere dark, cold, and musty. I would be very careful not to trip over some rusty old bicycle.

My Dad would have gleefully eaten that .

Seriously , Mom was a school teacher , mother of three , good cook , stereotypical "super-mom" (& never complained) . But if she ever neglected left-overs that got shoved to the back of the fridge for 3
weeks , Dad would invariably find it find it & gnosh it down . With no consequences .

A real live "cast iron stomach" .

I vividly remember retrieving a probably 2 year old frozen pizza from the basement freezer . It was GREEN !
I gleefully showed it to Dad , thinking of course it would be thrown out .

He popped it in the oven & then ate it . As I shuddered...........

Alrighty, then...

Thanks for all the info and suggestions.

I decided not to eat it after all, but chop it up and smoke it in a giant Danish pipe worth $15K.

It wasn't half bad. (More like a current production tobacco, though, not the magically good Old Stuff everyone endlessly rhapsodizes about but has never actually tasted.)

In fact, I'm thinking of putting it into production and selling vast quantities of bags and tins. You know, start a company!

I should be rich by this time next year. puffy

I really appreciate the lengths you went to regarding placement and lighting for photographing this.
