CanMan Oh how terrible>>>GROSS!!! Poor guys that ate that CRAP! I would have had to toss them no matter how many dozen there were!

I can honsetly say when people eat at a restaurant they are totally having to put faith in that cook. Gosh another reason I do not like eat out that often.

At Longhorn Steak House when I worked there our ramekins were always greasy and I hated the fact we served anyone out of those damned things! They reaked of grease and yuck!:mad:

Should we not in fact figure out safe foods to eat out:

Baked Potatoes Uncut I will cut it and prepare it to be eaten &
Baked Sweet Potatoes.
French Fries served in a bag (grease is so hot it kills all known pathogens) and the paper bag is hopefully clean as it comes out of it's pkg.
Japanese Steak House where you watch your food being prepared in front of your eyes:) Yeah!!! my #1


Can anyone else add to these?

Stories like these make you never want to step foot inside a restaurant ever again. They kinda make you wonder about even eating at someone elses house lol. I have a real thing about cooks sticking their fingers in dishes to taste them. They do that tons on the FN. My motto is I cook my food no matter who it is for the way I would want it prepared for me. When I check the seasoning on my dishes I use a spoon and a different spoon each time. That whole finger in the food is so unsanitary.
When we have the Christmas dinner at my fil's the kids are so bad to go in there where the food is on the table and stick their fingers into the dishes or just touch everything and they always have colds or worse. Makes you wonder if they have ever been taught any manners. These are children 8 and over who are old enough to know better.
I recently got a fondue pot and would love to make a chocolate fondue for the holiday dinner but I can already imagine the nightmare it would cause. If I spend money on igredients for a chocolate fondue Im gonna tick off some parents cause if I see one finger going in Im gonna say something.

Yuck as I type this Paula Deen is laughing on the FN about loosing a fake fingernail in a batch of dressing at her restaurant. She sifted though the dressing found the fake nail and I assume fed it to customers. Otherwise she would have just thrown it out.

I attempted for the first time chocolate covered pretzels, and used the wrong chocolate, you can imagine what happened to my disaster. I got better with time and my chocolate research

Are they good? I was thinking of making some. I love salty and sweet together.
