Food Poisening Anywone?

Most likely it is the salmon and someone in the kitchen played around with it. I know people who used to work at restaurants and when someone sends something back it's very possible they will screw with it. Throw it on the floor, toilet, etc. Other possibilities I am not going to mention at the risk of making you sicker.

Sorry.

**Edit** Your daughter had the salmon but FYI be careful when you send something back at a restaurant

Never happened at any restaurant I cooked at.
It is tempting on multiple returns on the same plate because some one doesnt understand what they are asking for. Like medium is going to be pink and fairly warm on the inside. After the 3rd return it is a piece of shoe leather and then they are happy.

At least once a week a jewish or islamic person would send back a BLT with strict instructions to remake the whole thing without Bacon.

Two options:

Send it back out with DOUBLE BACON,


Send it back out with no bacon, but two slices of bread that you have WIPED YOUR ARSE WITH, tomatoes that you KICKED AROUND THE BATHROOM FLOOR, and Lettuce that you and everyone in the kichen SPIT ON. I won't mention the Mayo.. just use your imagination


If they order a BLT, they get either the BLT or the "Special BLT"

I used to be a chef & i started in fast food & went to fine dining & i never saw people mess with peoples food. I;m not saying it doesnt happen but I think i must have worked with people with more class then to mess with food. I mean we would complain when someone sent back a mid well steak & say it was too rare LOL. I say your food posioning sucks & just call the manager. The chef needs to know about this & deal with his staff. I had a smiliar experience with an out door bar & drinking water from there soda gun system. I was the DD & they didnt have bottled water. I drank water all night but i woke up with a head ache the next day. I figured since it was an out door bar & the summer air help bacteria grow on the tip of the gun. I email the bar & they thank me even put me on the guest list a few weeks later.

I do say the biggest pet peeve of my self in resturants & life is people that dont wash their hands or wear gloves all the time. people that wear gloves dont wash their hands, because they are putting on gloves. so they sweat in gloves & just form bacteria

Here's two good ones from my health inspector days:

Shigella: this is the main reason self-closing doors are required on restrooms in restaurants. It minimizes fly (insects) traffic in and out of the restroom. Fly goes in, feeds on feces in the toilet, flies to the kitchen for dessert, and mechanically transmits the Shigella bacterium onto food (from the fly's legs, etc.). Some poor customer gets sick.

This one isn't so much an illness concern... it's more aesthetic. Go to a restaurant/bar that has the quick-poor caps on all of the liquor. Vermouth is the most popular. Take a bottle of vermouth with one of these caps on it (essentially open to the air) and hold the bottle up while shining a flashlight underneath it. You'll see lot's of dead fruit flies floating near the bottom of the bottle. That would be one "dirty" martini! ("Waiter, there's a fly in my soup!") I found these in virtually every bottle of vermouth that had the quick-poor caps. Sugary, fruit-flavored liquors were another fruit-fly favorite, but because of the higher alcohol content, not as popular as vermouth.

Glad you're feeling better, Ed.

I've had a really rough 6 weeks; not puking, but cramps and... ya know. Not constant, but most of the days of the week. So I start examining everything it can be. And Google dysentery...

I understand cross contamination and prepare and cook things safely. I am confident this is not the cause.

I sanitize everything I can think of. I clean and sanitize the beer lines. We had gotten two new kittens around the same time, so the kittens go into the sink to get washed. STILL, it isn't going away.

THEN, I see our older cat drinking out of the toilet-for no good reason, just because it's there, and she can, as there is always fresh water out.

The big cat cleans the kittens, being maternal, even though they aren't her kittens. Kittens come around for attention-BINGO, problem solved. Toilet seat cover stays down now.

Add me to the list of recent victims. My wife and I went to an international food fair at the local park on Saturday for lunch. I had a gyro from a Greek place. Tasted great going down, no so great coming back up 8 hours later. Coming out the other end 3 hours later wasn't great either.

I got told when i got out of college that I was going to join the family and be a plumber.
I worked for my uncle for a while, but moved(escaped) about 40 miles away.
Got hired by a commercial plumber, who did mostly service work for restaurants and other institutions.

I cook at home.
It takes a lot to get me to go to dinner at a restaurant.

I had an Italian rest. that insisted on giving me food- a tip- out the window at 65 mph.

I am a mortgage banker. I cook a lot. I don't like restaurants.
I went to a JULY4 party, looked at the food, and proceeded to drink heavily.
