What have you found in your food?

[dud]

This thread makes me want to go out to eat more often. A LOT more ...

Holy shit the OP is apparently not the only person that had this problem. Apparently Cheesecake factory is a nice place to use instead of Home Depot when I'm in need of bolts/screws/fasteners.

I guess it could just be rare instances among a large sample size. On the other hand, where the hell are all these loose screws coming from?

Probably from one of their suppliers. I've only been to Cheesecake Factory a few times and from I can tell a majority of their food (if you can call it that) is prepackaged crap.

There were some hard seeds in some fruit snacks I bought a couple of years ago. Yea, it hurt when I bit down. There ended up being like 3 different packs in the box with a seed in one of the gummies. I knew I should have gotten Transformers instead of Curious George

Was in Philly this weekend and got a cheese steak from Pat's. As we were walking to Slice to also get pizza, found a small bone in my cheese steak.

I work in the food manufacturing industry and I've seen quite a bit of different things come in with raw materials. Nuts, bolts, belting, bones, insects, rodents, but probably the most random was a bunch of buck shot that came in with a shipment of beef. Apparently people think it's a game to shoot at farm animals.

So basically the source is the packaging plant? And they unwrap and cook this stuff, serve it on a plate, and still don't find it? Interesting. I bet restaurants have intercepted more than their fair share too then.

Interdasting. I was thinking maybe they used a standard, chain/franchise supplied piece of equipment that was a piece of shit.

Some kinds of stainless steel aren't magnetic, so do they set off metal detectors?

"Jenelle D." either you or your wife is hot. LOL

Yes absolutely, now stop stalking her.

I found pieces of dead animal in my burger once. It was delicious.

I found a nekkid lady in my sushi...

No wonder the tuna tasted like.......tuna.

Wife had some glass shards in her meal at PF Changs a loooong loooong time ago. I have zero clue how that can happen? I mean, if you're a cook in the back, how often do you break something that is glass? Maybe someone drops a glass cup on the ground occasionally, but how does that end up on a plate (which i presume is on an elevated surface such as a table). My wife didn't go all crazy and ballistic on the server/manager - partially because we're lucky there weren't any cuts or anything - we were overall pretty chill about it but they insisted on comping us the meal altogether for both of us.

I always remember the movie heartbreakers where the women are always tossing glass shards in their meals to always get them comp'd as the story plot-line, it made me think of that heh.

Food manufacturing facilities generally all use SS 304 which is metal detectable. Of course, it is only detectable to the sensitivity of the MD unit itself. Based on HACCP Principles food manufacturers who identify metal as a hazard likely to occur must ensure that metal that is hard or sharp and 7-25mm in size must not be contained in their products. Most manufacturers metal detect far below the requlatory requirement.

This was one of my questions. I've watched food documentaries that show how assembly lines run every single food item through a metal detector. I've even seen this in meat packing plants.

I once found a black pearl in an oyster. I took it back to the kitchen and left without paying.

I went out to dinner with people and someone ordered an $80 specialty dish. In my scoop, there was a ball of hair like what you'd find in the filter of a drain. Think we got 5% off?

WTF? I'd have left the restaurant after explaining the situation and why I wasn't going to pay for the food. There's no way I'd continue to eat a meal there no matter what kind of recompense they offered.

When I was a kid we got a box of cereal that was full of meal worms. Funny thing was that my dad had already eaten most of his bowl of cereal before I noticed when I was pouring mine. It was a brand new box of cereal too. Turned me off from eating cereal for a few years, though my dad didn't seem to really care that much...
