Friend of mine used to do IT support for a certain large burger chain
His advice: 'never, ever eat fast food from an airport - especially the ones on the other side of the security check because they are never inspected and they never close'

In one case, they had a drain cover raised whilst cooking above 'a literal river of airport poo poo'

When I was a young bloke I got a job at a resort in the kitchens. Saw all sorts of stuff. Our walk in freezers liked to develop a CM or so thick layer of ice seemingly weekly. One of my jobs was to get a coat, a chizel and hammer the ice sheets off. Also grease traps were cleaned day before inspections. Same with getting the black mold off the fridge gaskets.

Gonna assume my ol' fraternity's kitchen counts because we had a full-time cook and a department of health permit or whatever you get when you pass inspection.

Ok so you could imagine the hiring pool for that sort of job to begin with: cook for 40-50 dudes with a poo poo budget. Except the cook had to make passable meals to convince potential recruits, parents, alumni, etc during events that hey it doesn't suck. Soooo there really isn't much filter when it comes to cooks so long as they can make meals and put up with the clients (drunk, messy assholes mostly). Well it turned out the one during my years was wiccan and a hoarder which the later begun spilling into the kitchen's storage areas. Eventually the alumni/money found out and fired the cook. So we college kids get to cleaning out the storage areas. Mostly it was just old, expired dry goods that looked like they haven't been touched in years. Oh and a black hefty bag of pigeon wings and mouse skulls.

It's a wonder I only recall one occasion of food poisoning striking the entire house in my years there. Man that was a lot of puking and making GBS threads, though, let me tell you.

Years ago I was working nights at an adult store to put myself through university. Next door was a Chinese restaurant I never ate in, just didn't get a good feeling about it. It was always pretty busy though.

They got inspected by the Council one Saturday evening, who found such things as:

  • Raw meat left out on counters
  • Fridge full of uncovered raw meat and vegetables, not cold enough
  • Dog tied up in the kitchen being fed scraps
  • Staff toilet had no door, or sink
  • Kitchen had no door on the exit to outside
  • Laminate bench used as chopping board, without any facility to clean it
  • Single sink used to wash food, utensils, cutlery, crockery and hands
  • Kitchen floor had no corner seals, allowing buildup of waste food and rubbish
  • No freezer on site

The Council slapped them with tens of thousands of dollars worth of fine and shut them down immediately. They opened up the next day and traded as normal as if nothing had happened. A "gotcha"-style TV show (A Current Affair for those that know it) went in there the next week and did an on-the-spot interview with the owner. They had some secret footage of the owner speaking perfect English with someone out in the street, but the owner faked not being able to understand the language when they tried to get him to comment. As they were walking backwards, the cameraman fell through a hole in the floor, where there was carpet over nothing - just a 2-foot gap in the floorboards with dirt visible. He hosed his knee up pretty badly if I recall correctly.

They were then forcibly closed down and the Council put some new locks on the front door. Later that same week, COMPLETELY COINCIDENTALLY, a stolen car with several cans of petrol in the trunk was driven through the front of the restaurant at high speed, and again COMPLETELY COINCIDENTALLY, the owner flew back to Malaysia on a one-way ticket.

In where I live crepes are also called pancakes, the topic under discussion would be "American Pancakes". Also you are 100% correct. And if you make them from scratch you don't need a separate mix for each!

My wife's late father was a Canadian federal heath inspector. On the rare occasions they went out for dinner he would only allow the family to eat at chain restaurants because he felt they were most likely to have heath plans and cleaning schedules, etc.

In my youth, I worked at a McDonalds as well as a couple of family restaurants and let me tell you, the family restaurants were not perfect but I saw some poo poo at the McDonalds that would turn you white. Mice running around the burger trays, grill cooks that were forced to finish their shift with weeping burns (me), dropped watches in the deep fat fryers, metal shavings in the pancakes (always wash your spatulas after sharpening them, folks). Never eat at a restaurant where the majority of the staff are under 19.

My late cousin's wife worked for the health department in my town and gave us the low-down on where not to eat. Most of it was simple, "the KFC keeps their refrigerators several degrees above safe levels," kind of stuff, but then she got to the Godfather's Pizza on the north side. I had a love/hate relationship with it as a kid because the food was poo poo-awful, but they had the 4 player TMNT arcade game, which obviously outweighed any other considerations.

Until my cousin's wife told me she inspected their kitchen personally and, quote, "The green peppers were pulsating from whatever was growing in them." Even my 12 year old ninja turtle obsessed brain knew that was bad.

There was also the infamous Chinese restaurant that had rat poo in the food, but everyone knew about that.

Don't most places make all the inspection reports public? I can just look up any place in town and read all their reports. It was nice to find every place I ate at a lot had nearly spotless records. It was also great to read that a bunch of the overrated placed I hated were full of violations.
