And now I work here. The lazy fuckers don’t even bother covering food before they put it in the fridge. They leave the raw meats open and near the cooked meats. They don’t bother to properly clean the equipment they use because hey, it’s going to get dirty again eventually.
I got sick once when I ate here. I now understand why. This is not a fast food place, by the way. On the bright side, I’ve lost some serious weight since I started working here because I won’t eat anything that I don’t make and cook myself. —I’ll take a salad with a side of food poisoning.

Call the mafuckin food inspector on they asses, anonymously of course. Dats why I don’t eat meats, they tryna turn a bitch into a mad cow.
And of course you won’t call the proper authorities and report the violations.
You just touched your genitals. And the toilet handle. — Glad to see you’re improving your lot in life 🙁
You lost weight cause you cook your own stuff at this shithole as opposed to someone else making you the same thing (yanno, without the poison)? Sense that makes not.
Call the food inspection agency whenever you get sick. I’ve called them a couple of times. Their office is in Dartmouth.

Check out the restaurant inspection reports as well:

You should have stayed in school.
Is it just me or would narking cost them a job?
sounds an awful lot like the place would be shut down.
If you call and report a concern (such as food poisoning) the inspector will go that day and check it out. They will even report back to you if you want to give them your contact info.
If they find a problem the restaurant has a certain amount of time to comply. They would only be shut down if the follow-up showed they hadn’t complied with the order.
One inspector told me that, in general, the busier the restaurant the safer it is because the food turns over quicker and doesn’t have as much time to sit around and go bad.
So, please make a complaint if you suspect you got some bad grub.
Eggy: The uncleaned kitchen equipment could also contaminate the food.
The Woodside Tavern isnt that bad
I’m sure cross-contamination (like cutting raw meat and salad vegetables on the same surface or with the same knife) is a big problem if they aren’t careful. At home I have a cutting board that is only ever used for meat just to be sure.
I’ve also read that what people call 24 hour flu or stomach flu is prolly food poisoning because a virus always lasts more than 24 hours. So, over the years i figure I have had food poisoning 6 or 7 times from various restaurants and pubs.
But it’s kind of unpredictable what might sicken you. I’ve been poisoned by the usual suspects: a hamburger, a chicken salad sandwich, a grilled chicken breast, and by mussels. But also by vegetable pizza and vegetable curry on separate occasions. I suspect the veggie food illnesses were a result of cross-contamination. …. and, of all of those, the mussels caused the most violent reaction.
So, caveat eator! (if I may paraphrase)
Can we have at least a hint as to where not to eat?
Mmmm poached salmonella in a white wine sauce.
^^^ just reminded me of another one. It was a fish special in a white wine cream sauce at a fancy place. I suspect the cream sauce was meant to disguise the fact that the fish was getting old.
I think I may be very sensitive to bad food and get poisoned easily. A canary in a coal mine when it comes to salmonella.
Would you eat at a restaurant called Sam and Ella’s Diner?
There’s a sushi restaurant in town named after Hiroshima, which just seems odd.
It is odd, Ivan, but Hiroshima was rebuilt after the war and is a significant city in Japan today. I believe it is home to the Mazda corporation and other large industrial concerns.
Perhaps the owners of the restaurant simply don’t see the name of the city as representing only it’s tragic past like we tend to do–perhaps it is just their hometown.
Those are all valid points Angel, but certain things are just so negatively imprinted in the collective conscious as to be commercially questionable. I have a hard time imagining “Oswiecim Deli”, “Katyn Forest Brand pierogies”,”Bataan Death March Filipino Catering”,
“Grassy Knoll Shooter Bar” …. Okay, that last one, I can easily imagine. lol.
Anyway, I hope they succeed. Given the half-life of area restos…
Oh, I totally didn’t just say that >: 0
“Chernobyl . . . Hot Real Estate . . . . ” Oh God Ivan I can’t believe you’ve pulled me into your twisted game!
: )
I’m totally going to crawl back into the tarsands now . . . Neil Young thinks that’s the same as all the above-mentioned places anyway!
