Anybody hungry?

AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH - can you hear the groans all the way from NC?

I can't control my clicker on you guy's pictures - I know what's there and I know I don't want to see it and click, there it is anyway!

Exactly where was that nasty rodent located? Having only seen pictures of what I would never want to clean, I have no understanding of the layout of these grease dumps you guys work in. Please tell me it was nowhere close to food.

Sorry to say but that was directly over the area where food is cooked. If you look to the right of Mickey, you will see one of the sheet metal screws that was
used to attach the plenum to the hood. He was probably situated somewhere in the hood in the upper left portion of this picture which is directly above the cooking area. Theoretically, the grease that he is marinating in could drip from the top of that hood in to food that is being prepared below through one of the screw holes. Dont worry, it tastes like chicken anyway, you probably couldnt tell the difference.

Ugh. Do you charge extra for carcass removal? That's a real biohazard you work in!

Matt sure knows a lot about the taste of this stuff. Hmmm - nothing like experience.
 
Boy, that brings back memories. Back in the earlier days, fore associations, digital cameras and scraping was still the norm. I encountered a similar occurance at a chinese restaurant. In this case it was a dead crow that what appeared to be chased into the fan housing by the dead cat that was laying about where the rat was laying and all was coated with that beautiful golden glaze. Yum!

I just want to thank all of you guys that are posting the pictures - hopped on the scales yesterday and I've lost 5 lbs from laying off the chinese food! Keep up the good work!

Thanks,

Celeste
 
LOL :) My daughter ate Chinese from across the street last night for dinner - every time I tried to tell her about what she might be eating - fingers in the ears and lalalalala.....some people just want to remain oblivious I suppose :)

I think the funniest thing is, the health department goes around and checks all sorts of stuff out to grade these restaurants......I cringe when I see someone's place with a low A (below 95% cleanliness), below 93%, I'm moving on to the next eatery. Given some of the photos I've seen on this site, don't those vents get checked as a part of that health grading system????? I mean, if Mickey could have added to drippings through screw holes into the food, how could those places even be left open to correct the problem?!?!?

Health inspectors are a joke. If they don't like someone they nail them, if they get a free burger it's an automatic 100%. Very seldom do they do their job right. If they did they'd have to shut down half of the stores they go into.
 
Whoa there Josh.....I've already lost my chinese food.....don't be mentioning burgers now! LOL

Do you like fast fish and hush puppies? You know those crispies that you get with your fish platter at your local seafood restaurant? Here's about 20 lbs of them that we have to scrape out of the hood system every time we clean this place. I can't get them to quit putting their fryer scrapings in their filter track. :eek:

EUWWW - I don't eat fried seafood, thank goodness - are those just little crispy batter grigglies? They're not alien mouse or bird things that fall into the grease right???????

I bought a pizza place in NJ about 7 years ago(sold it about 2 years later).The place was really nice,but the arab guy who owned it was a slob.There was green mold in the walk in cooler,mice and mouse droppings,roaches,2 inches of grease on everything in the kitchen,and he always got a clean bill of health from the health inspector.I asked him how he always passed the health inspections,and he told me when the health inspector comes in,he says he is a little hungry,and he sits down.He then brings him a slice of pizza with a $100 bill under the plate,and he leaves the health inspection certificate with a satisfactory rating,and that was how he passed and the owner before him also.I shut the place down for 2 weeks after i bought it(for $30k less than he was asking) and me and 4 employees cleaned for 15 hours day to get that place spotlessNeedless to say there were no more $100 bills in the health inspectors future,atleast from me!
 
Josh,

I think you may be on to someting there in your previous post with the picture of the crispy grigglies thingies? I saw very little grease oozing from those trays so they must be extra absorbent on grease.
 
Not necessarily true RJ about the $100 bills.I sold that place for twice what I paid for it,and the Arab guy I bought it from sold it for half of what he paid for it.The restaurant I bought after that was a Chinese place that I bought (actually was pretty clean)and gutted and remodeled it into a chicken ,rib and seafood place,and sold that for roughly 5 times my total investment.I think the cleaning was worth it,and I always passed the health inspections with flying colors.That health inspector was lucky I didn't turn his fat ass in for letting that guy and who knows how many other places operate in disgusting conditions,and who knows how many people got sick .He did pull the" I'm a little hungry" routine the first time he came in figuring the previous owner tipped me off to how to get around him.I just gave him 2 slices of pizza and a coke and told him "it was on me! Let me give you the grand tour,this place is spotless now.I don't know how you ever let that F@&%*# slob stay open?" He wasn't too pleased,but he sort of knew that I knew about the $100 bills and pretty much just left me alone after that.He would come in do a quick inspection and leave.He was in a hurry to get to those places with the $100 bills !(believe it or not this is a true story,and it happened in one of the biggest cities in NJ.Who would ever think?Corruption in NJ!)
