Dumbest thing of the week
CNN.com - Rare burger? Just don't sue us - Sep 29, 2004
An exclusive London restaurant stopped asking customers to sign a legal disclaimer if they order rare or medium-rare burgers
When I was in in North Carolina a few years ago for an IEEE conference I discovered that if you ordered meat cooked rare or medium-rare you were warned (thanks to a state guideline) that this was not a recommended choice.
I'll admit this didn't exactly fill me with confidence in North Carolina's food chain.
