An investigation found the locations failed to pay overtime to 49 servers, cooks and dishwashers, and failed to maintain required records.

"The U.S. Department of Labor will continue to enforce the law."

I came down with food poisoning by eating an undercooked hamburger during spring break of my last year of college. I'll eat a steak that has a touch of pink meat, but I'll never risk that again with a hamburger.
