I think that's restaurant policy, but I am not sure. Want me to look it up tomorrow?
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I would imagine it would depend on the restaurant. I mean, I've had steak tartare in restaurants in California.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Could you check, Perkins? I'd love to know if I should just stop asking. Multiple restaurants have turned me down at this point.
Burrell, I have no idea what the dividing line would be, why steak and beef sashimi are fine, but burgers wouldn't -- but if it was possible in Seattle, someone must have a line somewhere.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Joe had a pretty rare burger at Moe's in Burbank.
And carrots.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The grindedness of burgers makes contamination waaaaaaay more likely.
And I ask for, and usually get, medium rare.
Damn, now I want a cheeseburger.

DH has been able to order a medium rare burger (which I would have shared if I hadn't been pregnant at the time). I can't recall where.
My guess? If it were my restaurant, I wouldn't want to serve ground meat rare unless I ground it myself and could vouch for the quality.

But steak tartare is ground too, so I wonder. It might just be a prevalent thing, not a local or state policy.

I need sleep - I read that as "...unless I ground myself and could vouch for the quality."
