You stand a greater chance of being run over by a car or dropping dead of a heart attack than food poisoning in a restaurant.

I think if Bill gets run over by a car we can all safely assume one of the Mayors or restaurant owners finally got their revenge.

“I let everyone on Twitter know that I canâ€™t eat out ever again knowing what I know now.”

That’s a silly comment. You stand a greater chance of being run over by a car or dropping dead of a heart attack than food poisoning in a restaurant.

But I do agree that the reports should be easier to obtain.

More like lazyshits. I’d rather go out than cook for myself.

Good friend married a health inspector. They haven’t eaten out in 12 years.

My favorite, from Enjoy! “REMOVE WOODEN BAT FROM BEHIND BAR”
Enjoy has a wooden bat behind the bar? Didn’t see that coming. Modern bars use aluminum bats, less of a health hazard as the skull fragments don’t embed as easily.

There’s a few troubling things in those reports, no question. But it’s not going to keep me from eating out around here. Unless restaurants are violating health codes in particularly nasty ways, the odds of me getting sick any random time I go out are very very low anyway. But then, I also wish we had more street food vendors here like they do in other countries. I blame watching No Reservations so much. :)

I too, don’t wanna read any of these. I like that someone’s checking up on them, but unless it’s bad enough to shut them down, or have warnings posted, I’d rather live in ignorance.

You eat at a lot of buffets, Kelly? lol I’m with you though, sometimes I don’t want to know.

I know I’m completely in the minority in my ‘love’ for corporate run chain restaurants, but cleanliness is something that most chains do well compared to ‘mom & pop’ type places. Corporate standards are in place across the board to deal with things like covered garbage cans in employee restrooms and where to store food items (i.e. NOT in grocery type bags). I’ve worked in both type of restaurants and there is a huge difference in the behind the scenes workings of these establishments. Obviously I’m NOT stating that there aren’t ever any issues at chain restaurants, I’m just saying this is one area where a lot of chains do a better job than individually owned/operated restaurants.

Go ahead, flame away.

I choose to completely ignore this idea. If I even start to think about it, I’d never be able to eat out again. Probably not in anyone else’s home either. I’m a total germophobe, and I really don’t want to know what goes on behind closed doors at restaurants.

Just the thought…. yech.
