Sometimes, a big, fire-truck-red safety sign is indispensible to alert people to the fact that touching sausages or hamburger patties before they’re good and ready can result in a rigorously executed hand-whacking, on the part of the chef, because not everyone can aptly read a BBQ master’s body language.
