Friday 5 - Bad Food
- What was the last meal that caused you to be ill? Bratwursts. It was Nick’s first time making them and it turned out that he didn’t properly cook them.
- Are there any places you never dine anymore because of a bad experience hours after the meal? Cheeseburger in Paradise - we technically never ate there. We had gone but because of the rudeness of the hostesses we left and never went back. I am in a wheelchair and they would not let us open the non-revolving door so I could get in, all the while the hostesses were pointing and giggling at me. I wanted to pop their empty little blond heads off their bodies and go bowling with them.
- What’s your prescription for dealing with a food-caused illness? Imodium-AD!
- When friends tell you about coming down with food-caused illnesses, do you avoid the places they name, or do you figure it’s a dice-roll wherever you go? Depends on the friend. Some of my friends are more sensitive than others. I would be cautious though.
- After numerous citations, a very, very popular restaurant that you’re quite fond of is shut down by the health department until it can get everything up to code. When the health department gives the restaurant the o.k. to reopen, do you go? Yes. If I never had a problem with them then I would go back. Some health code violations have nothing to do with how the food is handled. Plus, if I ate there when they weren’t up to code why wouldn’t I eat there after?
