Disgusting things in restaurants

I saw a man use his dinner knife as a butter knife. Appalling!;)

One of the cooks in a restaurant I used to work in found out that one of the guest whose order I took was a guy he couldn't stand. The guest had order a side order of sauteed onions so the cook (the owner's son) did a big slimy snotty spit into yer man's onions, mixed it all up and told me to bring it out to the guest, I refused so he got some other waitress to do it, and then stood smugly at the counter watching the guest eat the onions

I remember a Chinese Take Away in my Town had samples of their meals bought anonymously by Health Inspectors for testing. Whilst the official reasons published to close them down was multiple violations of health standards and practices, the real reason (which I heard direct from one of the Inspectors) was that the chicken dishes contained several different types of meats, none of them chicken. Smothered in a sauce, who would know?

This was the mid 90's and no restaurant would get away with that today. Whilst the inspector back then never revealed what types of meats they were, I was always intrigued as to what they could be? Cat, Dog, Badger, Donkey, Fox, Hedgehog and Rat were my top 7.

I heard the exact same story from my cousin who knew a guy whose brother worked with the health inspectors....

OH WAIT IT'S AN URBAN MYTH!

Breastfeeding... i like a pair of tits as much as the next man... but not during a family meal.

First off, you don't generally see much of the "pair of tits" when a woman breastfeeds.

Secondly, if that's the most disgusting thing you've seen in a restaurant, you're pretty sheltered.

And thirdly, women can legally entitled to breastfeed anywhere in public.

On Saturday was in a pub with a reputation for good pub grub. When our order was ready, it was left sitting behind the bar for a while so was cold by the time it reached us.

My sister complained to the waiter, who wasn't impressed. She said it even feels cold to the hand and touched the food (fair enough, it was her own dish). Then the waiter gives her food a good grope with his bare hands and said no, it feels ok and starts to hand it back to her. I nearly choked with laughter.

I think we have a winner.

Was it in the rest of the burger or in the bite you took?

Its quite common to layer salad with damp CLEAN paper tissue to keep it crisp.

Yes I am aware of that. I used to work in catering before. But we removed it before we served it to customers!

It makes zero sense to me from a financial perspective that a Chinese restaurant wouldn't just use dirt cheap, pumped full of water / sodium / whatever, imported from Thailand chicken, but would instead employ an elite squad of dog/cat catching ninjas, that have never been seen by anyone, then skin and butcher the animals, dispose of the remains etc etc..

It just wouldn't save money.

I was on the ferry from Hollyhead years ago. Was having breakfast in the restaurant. There was two guys at the table opposite eating as well. The boat started rocking a bit and as it rocked, the two guys started getting whiter and whiter until all of a sudden......projectile vomitting from the two of them! Thankfully I was far enough away from them so there was no splashes while I tucked into my bacon and eggs

If it was an infant I would understand, but this was a man in his mid 20's!

The urban myth too of the Chinese restaurant selling the sea gull instead of the chicken is still unbelively doing the rounds too. How much, how long would it take, and how the fu*k in the first place could you round up all those sea gulls.

The way I heard it back in the day was you went to the dump with the left overs. Seagulls would arrive and you can get them with a shotgun. And it wasn't a Chinese restaurant either.

Or the old Inuit trick of wrapping pebbles in food. After a while the seagull can't fly any more.

The cheapest chicken you can buy, and UK companies were caught doing this, is meat unfit for human consumption that is to be rendered into pet food. They cut off the really bad bits and wash it in salt water to kill the bacteria. :mad:

I was at a Chinese in Dublin one day and ordered some crispy noodles. Something didn’t taste right and sure enough, I looked down and could see the words ‘LUCKY’ written in the noodles. Not only did Chef cook Lucky, but the daft prick only went and cooked the poor b*stards dog basket too

A random Burger King in Miami, not one member of staff wore gloves ....I witnessed a big sweaty momma rubbing her nose/sweaty brow, then nicely placing the burgers onto the buns! I was fecking starving but cancelled my order when I seen this, the rest of the gang happily ate theirs

I wonder what staff in a restaurant do to ignorant customers. I know If I was working in a restaurant and some customer was been a ****, I would fart on there food or rub my balls all over it. This has more than likely happened you if a friend works in a restaurant or if youve been an ignorant ****

Well it would be difficult to get away with doing that without anyone seeing you


I worked as a waitress in my teens, some of the regular not so nice customers got their food dropped onto the floor then back onto their plate....served with a big smile...

I used to do some occasional work in a certain village in Kilkenny and the only place to eat was run by a simpleton and his idiot son. Once when I was waiting to pay I saw the son i nthe kitchen eating the standard desert, a sherry trifle, direct from the nearly-full bowl it was made in. I was already feeling queasy about this when the father asked him for two trifles, so he stopped eating for a second and filled two dishes...using the same spoon he had been eating with.

I brought sandwiches after that.

In the same place I was paying for myself and my boss, who was standing beside me, when the owner asked me how much I wanted put on the receipt.:D

1. Cover kitchen windowsill in strong glue.
2. Leave out chips/bread.
3. Wait

Never ever ever do I buy burgers or any food from any place that hires students ( who can't cook food ) who work their. 1. they can't cook food and 2. they don't really care about their jawb and are only there to pay for their saturday night drinks at the bar so they will most unlikely not be looking after the food like a man who works there and really NEEDS the job and is petrified of losing it.

so when I walk into a restaurant and see young collegey students all over the shop, I'm outta there like a flash.

I was in a restaurant in Ballina last week for my birthday.

It was full of disgusting things.

Ballina people.

So have you personally seen any disgusting actions by members of staff, customers or what not?

I was in The Full House today on Abbey Street. One of the workers was wiping down the food vat areas with a dish cloth. He then proceeded to flick the cloth over one of the vats. (to give you a visual, imagine if you were wiping away breadcrumbs for example and then you flick the cloth over food so you are returning some of the crumbs to the food) - really disgusting. will be avoiding there from now on because if you see things like that, what really goes on in the kitchen.

Any experiences yourself?

Not a restaurant but a pub in the middle of the bog in Cork. Barman (he was actually the owner and a right dirty slob this cunt was too) had his trousers hanging off him so you could see his arse cleavage. What's worse there were smears of dried faeces up his lower back, the mingin bastard.

Didn't finish pint.

That's rubbish. If you book ahead and see a few waiters of college age, you'd leave?

Outside, looking in through a window, at just the right moment, no customers on the premises.

A person in a take away on Dame Street kneading Pizza dough and pausing to mine their nose of snot wedges, a sly examination and 'rolling' of the chunks, between forefinger and thumb, then back to kneading dough.

I had been an occasional customer up to that week. Never again.

Not in Ireland, but over in a restaurant in America, where one of my mates was working, he was told that one of the waiters walked into the kitchen one of the days to the chef rubbing his balls over some nicely cooked burgers...

I hope he at least washed his balls beforehand.

I imagine that if a chef is driven mental by his 80 hours a week slaving in a hot kitchen to rubbing his testes on customers burgers - then the cleanliness of afore-mentioned testes will be the last thing on his mind.

Was back drinking late in a restaurant I worked in, when one of the lads, who was hammered, all of a sudden got up and legged it to the back of the restaurant. Lights were off, but we assumed he'd gone to puke in the toilets. He came back out, looking sheepish, and left straight away.

Anyway, a few of us went and checked the jacks to see if he'd done any damage, but the place was spotless. Thought nothing of it until the next night when I lifted the salad container out of the refrigerated well we used to keep it in. Lo and behold, there was a nice combination of icy red wine and carrots underneath. Although it was unlikely the numerous salads we served that night made contact with it, I'm glad the health inspector didn't pay a visit that day

Olives. In restaurants.

Or anywhere.

Found a hair in my battered sausage once. Broke off the piece it was touching and continued eating it.

Yes with olive oil and oregano, to give it a bit of flavour

And people call me foolish for inviting others for dinner at my place instead of eating out.....
