...ground-shrimp-and-pork burger, designed to taste like a Vietnamese banh mi with cilantro, pickled daikon and carrots.
Put some cheese on that sucker and I think you've officially found the least Kosher dish ever created.

I don't have a very good understanding of kosher rules -- I thought the problem with a cheeseburger is that it combined beef (the meat of the dead cow) with a dairy product (the milk of a living cow). Why would cheese on a beef-less shrimp and pork burger present that problem?
Because Rabbis like expanding rules way beyond their original purpose or scope -- now it's just a blanket "no dairy and meat combo" rule (less a problem with pork, but a chicken philly also is not Kosher).
Ah, OK, thanks :-) I had heard the original purpose but was not aware of the broader rule.
