I ate a beefalo burger at the Mid-South Fair in Memphis in 1975 I threw up
10 minutes later. Of course that could have been because it wasn't properly
stored. <shrug> I was 15. I wasn't checking to see whether or not the
burgers were on ice before they were cooked. But to this day, when I hear
the word "beefalo" I cringe.
