That's pretty doubtful. Most places teach about the wonders of cross contamination, and if it was used to stir raw meat, sir fredrick would have a nice case of some disease, like food poisoning, or salmonella, or e coli or something.
 
Thats better than the 5 inch rusty nail i found in the middle of a hunk of Publix cheese... I sh!t you not 😀

Eeeewwww! *Shudder* I think I would have been like him and lost my appetite. Only because I would know it didn't belong there, and I wouldn't really know if it was clean or not. :disgust:

yummy 😛

"Mmmmm, this is good dressing. What's this called?"

"Err... well... it's Chinese dressing. The Cream of Sum Yung Guy."

:Q
LMAO! 😀
 
That must have been one HUGE salad if you didn't see the spatula before you started eating it. At least you should have
felt something hard when getting salad or something?

Yeah, it was pretty damn big. here is a picture that we took right after I pulled it out of the salad.
 
Eh, doesn't bother me, it's not like it's a band aid or something, someone jsut dropped the salad spatuala into the serving bowl and didn't see it.

Once, when I worked at a restaurant, some lady got REALLY pissed and came up complaining and yelling cause "thre's a stick in my salad!".... it was a tomato stem.....

That is all sorts of nasty...you should have demanded the whole meal be free, not just your salad.

Yuck
:Q
 
Yes, a spatula, in the middle of my salad. How it got there, I don't know. Needless to say, my salad was free (though I lost my appetite and was unable to eat the rest).
I went to Chili's with some friends, one of whom ordered a caesar salad. No spatula, but most of the chicken strips looked like they were tossed on the floor and swept up: they were CAKED with hair and dirt. We freaked in a very big way.

The "manager" came over and said it couldn't have come off the floor. Oh that makes me feel real good, where did it come off, the prep counter???? She gave us another salad and a $5 off coupon which expired in a week. Like we'd go back for more. She should have given us the whole round on the house.

Needless to say, that Chili's is closed down.
 
Not to call foul or anything, but looking at jayspatula.jpg, how on earth could you not see that spatula until you were half way done with the salad? The spatula is LONGER than the plate (bowl) is wide. Not like it could hide in the bottom of the bowl. Are you sure this wasn't a drug induced hallucination??

Look again. The angle is weird, but the diameter of the plate is larger than the spatula, I assure you. Further, the salad was nearly overflowing the plate and there was lettuce hanging off of the edges. I know because I also got some french dressing on my pants when a piece of lettuce fell off of the edge of the plate.

Also, why on earth would I make something like this up? Yeah ok, I guess someone might do something like that to get a free salad (though if it was something as obvious as the spatula being larger than the plate, don't you think the manager would have noticed?), but why would I post anything about it here if it were made up?

Lastly, I do not do drugs, and I never have.
