The Illegal Burger

This post has little criminal law relevance, if any relevance, but for those who love a good burger, I felt obligated to post. Contrary to the opinion often recited in local restaurants, it is against state regulations for a restaurant to prepare a burger rare in North Carolina. Firebirds Restaurant, for example, grinds its own meat. I have known people to order a rare burger at this restaurant under the 'grind your own meat' premise. The North Carolina Administrative Code forbids it. For those who have nothing better to do, click here to read the regulation.

Thank you Kathleen Purvis for clearing this up in today's Observer. We will have to consume the rarest of burgers in the privacy of our own home.
