You must not have worked at any quality restaurants! What your saying is pure garbage concerning high emd restauramts....you probably consider Popeye`s chicken a high end restaurant!

Yeah, this guy was just trying to cause FUD.

Probably thinks a great top shelf place is Hooters on .25 wing night.

and they always use a clean spoon the next time....sorry to pop your bubble but they do not continue to use the same spoon!

QFT...when they show someone tasting off the same spoon it's usually them cooking their own meal and usually in a fictional TV show/movie/cartoon.

I am sure that poster watches a lot of cartoons.

They always have one spare spoon wedged in their butt crack. That's the one they use when plating your food.

I found a curly beard hair in my food. At least I think it was from a beard.

Chefs season their food with sweat.

 

[Red Squirrel]

That's nasty, never even thought of that. I guess what you don't know (or think about) don't hurt right?

There's a razor blade in my soup! Maybe that would still hurt.

It's better you never see how your food is prepared. Actually you probably don't want to see how all the ingredients are made then stored long before they arrive on a chef's table.

 

[OBLAMA2009]

as bad as sweat or saliva is, its probably not as bad as the food itself. veggies comes from the friggen ground, where the illegals that pick them pee and poop, rats and roaches munch on them, etc...and if you eat meat, it probably from a pig or a chickin that sat around in its own piss and crap and has worms in its flesh.

Here is a true story boys and girls, about 10 years ago when I lived in NJ, a bunch of us went for lunch to a place called Stewart's Drive-In. It was a local fast food joint that had benches outside and served the general assortment of fast food, burgers, dogs, fries, root beer floats and so forth.

It was the middle of July and prob about 90 degree outside at the time, when a few of us sat down and placed our order. We had a clear view of the kitchen and the cooks every time the door was swinging opened back and forth.

While waiting for our order, I caught a glimpse of the chef sweating profusely‎ in that hot kitchen, there was no a/c. The third time the door opened, I saw beads of sweat roll down his face and hit the hot grill, sizzling onto our food as each bead of sweat made it way down.

After about 30 seconds of this, we all got up and told the waitress to cancel our orders and left.

The sweat probably won't hurt you, it may cause your stomach to be upset, but you have to consider what you don't see in most restaurants, everything from someone sneezing onto your food, rodent dropping, hair follicle, flying insects and even the phelm from the chef when you send your order back because they got it wrong.

You really have no control of what may or may not wind up in your food when your out and about.

But how much of the sweat is produced because of the time pressure of the cooking show and the hot studio lights versus the heat from the stove?

Sweat, except from the armpits and genitals, is almost entirely water. It contains some sodium (hence the salty taste when it drips into your mouth) and a few other things, but nothing harmful. It may not look appealing, but it won't hurt anyone. Your forehead also has one of the largest collection of sweat glands on it.

thats my idea for a restaurant.. people with gas masks / suits will look over the robots as they make your food hehehe.. PEOPLE SWEAT, Kitchens are HOT, Hats are not for absorbing sweat. THis is funny topic but its true. There is definitely sweat that makes its way to food.. Also who is to say when the sweat drips on it.. after being cooked? Funny "its all cooked" ya they only sweat on the raw meat right? haaaaaaa

Given the state of current technology, why do you think there aren't any automated fast food operations? There are two reasons. The first is that people prefer to have food prepared and served by other people. However, given that people who frequent fast food restaurants aren't really human, that obstacle could probably be overcome. The second reason is that everytime a start up creates a workable model and secures funding, they are bought out by existing fast food chains. I have personal knowledge of three different companies with automated concepts that were bought out.

I've always been bothered at pizza shops where they throw the pizza dough up in the air and catch it on their bare arm. Like I want this guys arm hair in my pizza?

The nicer the restaurant, the more sweat and spit that's in your food.

LOL! That may be the standardized modern hygiene practice in America, but it doesn't always happen that way, nor did it in the past. Traditionally chefs carried around a single tasting spoon in their pocket. You really believe everyone is always careful about hygiene when they are busy doing several things at once? What about other countries practices?

Even in an open kitchen where they know they are being watched, they still don't even practice proper procedures. Example, http://insidescoopsf.sfgate.com/blo...-repeatedly-taste-dishes-with-the-same-spoon/

yeah if you were a chef, just axe yourself whether, if you were tasting food all day, would you bother changing spoons a couple hundred times for no reason when no one would know if you were doing it or not? or if you dropped someones lettuce or steak on the ground, would you really take the time to bother washing it off?
