Years ago in Seattle, a friend took me to a Chinese restaurant downtown and told me to order the Pork Fried Noodles!. I was facing the kitchen and while waiting for our lunch, I saw our waiter pull a big stringy booger from his nose and wipe it on his towel he kept draped over his arm! Just last year here in Puerto Vallarta, I went to a place that had their cooks centered in the middle of the dining room!. The woman cooking was coughing and sneezing and blew her nose into a kleenex and continued to hold it in the same hand as the spatula she was using to turn stuff in the skillet! Even though there was no cover charge, several of us left the "show"!. I cook at home or occasionally go to classier places!Www@FoodAQ@Com

EEEWww, yuck! I would've left too and I'm a cat lover! hahahaha, Unfortunately, I have seen some things that have made me leave several places and the bad part was, the people that I was there with got more upset because I wanted to leave!. Now, I drive to restaurants in my own car when I meet people for dinner!. I'm a people watcher, so I catch the little things and I often look into kitchens that are visible and if I don't like what I see, I don't eat there!. Talking to your local Health Department inspector might give you some "heads up' as well, even if they aren't supposed to talk "work" with you, they still do!. Good for you to have left that Deli, especially if that feline was a street cat! Www@FoodAQ@Com

I was eating pizza from a well known pizza chain that sells by the slice (NOT Little Caesar's) and I started choking on something that was very painful in my throat!. I pulled it out (I couldn't swallow it) and it was 2 long wires!. The restaurant told me it was from the Brillo pads they use to wash the pans and it must have been left on the pan when they cooked the pizza!.!.!.!.um choking to death

They gave me 2 coupons for free slices!. Whatever, like I'd eat there againWww@FoodAQ@Com

I spent most of my adult life as owner/operator of a bread route, which meant that I saw behind the scenes in a lot of the 24 hour delis that I served in Midtown Manhattan!. Many of those places have open buffet salad bars featuring hot and or cold food!. I wouldn't eat there!. Suffice it to say that hygiene was not priority one!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

lol, a cat licking the ham!?!!?!!?!?! Yes, I've seen a lot of gross things in restaurants!. In my hometown, I used to order delivery from Domino's a lot!. Well, one day, I actually went inside the place and it was so dirty in there! It looked like they hadn't cleaned up in forever! So I didn't eat there anymore!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm sorry, but heartiest LOL! I should not laugh, as I can't eat a ham sandwich in peace around my girl cat; I have to put her out of the room and shut the door!

Seriously, though, sorry to hear that, as that is really not cool and I would've left myself!

I never found myself leaving a deli before!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Oh my gosh, I have the grossest story!. My mother and sisters and I were at a D'Angelo in North Conway NH to get lunch!. We ordered the subs and the kid that was packing them up sneezed!. (I am gagging just remembering this)!. He had massive snot hanging out of his nose and he was trying to wipe it on his sleeve!. It was so freaking disgusting that I could not eat my sandwich!.

I just about gagged when i heard this story!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
