A large chunk of what appears to be an animal artery disgusted customers at a popular Auckland burger joint when it was discovered inside a meat pattie yesterday.
The large, rubbery-looking find was made when a first time customer of Carl's Jr ordered a Memphis BBQ Burger at the Queen St restaurant yesterday afternoon.
A colleague of Nick Koefoed, who did not want to be identified, got more than he expected from his first mouthful of the beef and pork burger.
"He took a bite out of it and pulled [the artery] out of his mouth. He was pretty disgusted - it's pretty repulsive to be honest," he said.
Mr Koefoed, who still has the artery, posted an image of it to the Carl's Jr NZ Facebook page yesterday.
