It's no secret, cross-species food can be dangerous. So how does Burger Palace ensure the safety of its customers? Simple! Each flavor bulb contains markers keyed to the species who can consume it. Once cooked into the patty, physical contact with the inappropriate species triggers the patty's flight response. We call it our Com-patty-bility Guarantee! If you can't eat it, it'll let you know! Burger Palace: new name, new safeguards, same great taste!
