Nanny State.

[Abathar]

There is nothing finer than going past a good steakhouse and having that aroma waft in the window, these enviro-nazis wont be happy until they regulate everything and everyone to their own standards, the vegan b*stards....

[ari-freedom]

nothing beats a wood burning oven

[patton]

Is this satire?

[HoosierHawk]

Is there no end to this madness?

[Teacher317]

Steakhouses or other restaurants with open, slotted charbroiler grills heated from below would be regulated if they cook 800 pounds of beef a week and the grill is at least 10 square feet in size.

And so they go out and buy 9.5 sq ft grills...

and the liberals change the rule to 9 sq ft...

and the eateries go out any buy the 8.5 sq ft grills...

And so on...

and the Left thinks this is a great contribution to the economy, because they're "stimulating commerce and production in grills".

I'm surprised that we don't see substantial tax deductions for installation of air pollution controls here in California. That way, the restaurant owners mentioned in this article could "write off" 50% or more of the installation cost of these emission controls on their business tax returns, just like the railroads are getting tax incentives to run diesel-electric locomotives with EPA Tier 2 diesel exhaust emissions compliance (that's why both BNSF and Union Pacific are running their latest locomotives in California nowadays).

of course, let’s fry everything

Nothing short of a good ash kicking.

“Reports predict dismal year for California economy “

Just a few posts above this post is the above headline....could the communist controls of the CA government have anything to do with this.....They are out to destroy free enterprise...but it is o.k. because it is for your own good anyway.....

Well, if it sin’t cost effective, restaurants close. I guess vegetarian is the way SF wants everyone to go.

The “fine particles” smell good.

I’m going to grill up some chunks of dead cow tonight and I’m sure everybody down wind will be able to smell “fine particles.”

Nanny State Ping..........

Where has this been heard before?????

For thousands of years it’s been the same: Only the elite eat the meat. Think of the sacred cows in India. The “rule” was established well before the birth of Christ.

We’re just returning to the “old ways.”

Today they come for your charbroilers and tomorrow they come for your fry daddies.

They’ll have to pry my George Foreman from my cold dead hand.

And whatever you do, don't cook the nutrients out of those veggies - serve them raw!

This place in Van Nuys, CA has fabulous Soul BBQ...and you can smell the succulence from blocks away, due to that delicious smoke being churned out.

First they came for the 10 sq foot grills
and I did not speak out
because I didn't own a 10 sq foot grill.
Then they came for the hibachis
and I did not speak out
because I did not own a hibachi.
Then they came for Fry-o-lators
and I did not speak out
because I did not own a Fry-o-lator.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
