15 Dirty Secrets Restaurants Don't Want You to Know

[@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou]

@@flyingdragon6275 The only way to have reasonable assurance that a restaurant has good hygienic standards is if it has an open kitchen. There are a couple chains I'm aware of which have open kitchens (In-N-Out and Panda Express), but most chains and certainly most non-chain restaurants will have the kitchen completely hidden from view.

Here's another one. My late father was a meter reader for the Toronto electric utility. This was "back in the days" when all meters were inside in basements. He ALWAYS had horror stories about Chines restaurants, especially the ones downtown. He saw, over the years, dead rats and mice, live rats, mice and insects crawling over vegetable crates, layers of rat and mouse sh*t on floors, overflowing toilets, insects clinging to walls and even a few dead cats. He always assumed the dead cats were the next day's Chef's Special

[@toyman9642]

Thinking or ordering Chinese food? Think again. Years ago, I drove taxi on Friday and Saturday nights in Toronto, Canada while attending college. Always busy with 99% radio calls. I received a dispatch to pick up a take-out order at a Chinese restaurant on Danforth Avenue. While waiting at the open side kitchen door for the order I saw two kitchen workers using a pail, situated beside a crate of vegetables, as a urinal. Lots of "splashing" onto the vegetables. When done, they just "gave it a shake," zipped up and went back to cooking without hand washing. I left without the order and contacted my dispatcher who called the customer. She was grateful that I left without the order. The following Monday I called the City Health Department. The person with whom I spoke told me that over 75% of the calls they receive about filthy restaurants involved Chinese eateries. True story!

[@harshvpandey101x]

One day my grandpa told me a story... He was in a restaurant and asked the waiter that how old this cheese is? The waiter said that this cheese is from the day when the restaurant was opened and it's been mixed with new cheese everyday And that was an old restaurant my grandpa told me. IDK how true is this but whenever I think about it I get panic attacks...

[@goretoriumgaming8600]

The 5 second rule definitely doesn't apply in kitchens I've seen people be fired over it. "California meaning fresh and healthy is bs... in a kitchen California means it has avocado" Yes... we do know what your gonna order, we don't waste what we order, we know what we're geared to sell more of and exactly what we're gonna sell. Upper right center thing totally true. The cost thing yes true actually right now I'm the chef at a country club and we don't even list the prices. The sugar added thing... we rarely use sugar, on veggies its butter on steaks its also butter but not sugar. I couldn't tell you the last time I used sugar in a non dessert. The pushing things before they expire yes. But no... specials not on menus. Soup of the day, weekend specials are usually to move stuff however we Do Not sell anything expired. Ever... Garnish at the beginning of shifts, yeah no the cooks refill them for servers generally in the back takes us 2 minutes to fill their tray of limes lemons etc, and its "thrown out" ie I eat all the cherries. At the end of the night not kept to the new day. Soda fountain markups yes... 10 cents per cup there's a reason we get it for free and refills are free. Yes modifying your dish with cheese avocado, etc is all markups not costing much. Someone is sick... I mean if we know someone is sick we send them home, if they don't say anything or show signs how the hell do we know. I can't speak much of the reservations that side isn't my expertise. There's bacteria everywhere as per menus being particularly bad idk soda guns and beer tips id agree with. Monday fish specials are fine as long as people store it properly. As per well steak... yes we fucking hate cooking them well you heathens... but we're not going out of our way to hunt down and pull out a bad cut of meat for you from the back of a walkin when we have steaks in our line cooler right there... also if we get bad steak it goes back to the supplier for refunds... if theres an old steak in the back of the walk in it goes in the trash and someone gets chewed out for not rotating properly not on your well done heathen plate lol. -source chef for years Edits while watching

[@petersmith2040]

In addition to drinks, side dishes like fries, onion rings, coleslaw, etc… have very high profit margins for the restaurants. Another category with high margin is the desserts. That’s why I avoid these items when ordering takeouts. But it’s difficult to avoid them when dining in as people also need something to drink when eating at restaurants.

[@brazookabroad]

Like most immigrants, I washed more pots and plates in my first two years in London than my mother did in her entire life. After that I have filled many chef positions in lots of restaurants...I can tell you: the most disgusting thing about a commercial kitchen are the dish washing machines. If not cleaned and maintained twice daily, bacteria`s growth and dirty rinsing water become a problem that the majority of customers are not aware of. Since the 2000`s, I myself use only disposables at any eatery....

This reminds me of a disgusting story my dad told me. He works as a chef for a couple of restaurants.

We had a steak called the drunk and dirty cowboy steak. It was a serloin that was marinated in some sort of bourbon sauce. It was hard as a rock and tasted funny because the sugar from the marinate would burn when it was cooked. It was our most popular item because of the cool name someone came up with.

[@uncleeddieunfiltered]

Boy there are some real misconceptions here and one flat out lie!!! I've worked in family owned restaurants over 40 years. #3 on your list; I worked for a Greek Bistro. Their menu was massive, then they had a special board that was a menu all to its own. Many of the ingredients such as chicken and shrimp were used in multiple dishes so ww went through those items quickly ensuring their freshness. #5 sugar; growing up in my grandfather's kitchen and then working in multiple kitchens over the past 40+ years, I've never seen anyone add sugar to food just to add it. Over salting maybe. #9 owning a restaurant; I've worked in family owned restaurants all my life. They are called family owned because it takes everyone pitching in to make them successful and profitable. Some of the margins are pennies. It's a brutal business on your health and time. The failure rate is incredibly high. With the corporation of America it is now even harder for the family owned business. #11; the restaurant business in general has no benefits such as sick leave. To make a small restaurant successful you work with a skeleton crew. There is no money for extra employees. Many times your working 10 to 12 hour shifts. If you call in sick someone has to do twice the work or work a double shift. The health dept. has guidelines in place but it is impossible to follow them. Either you lose pay or someone has to do their job and yours. There are some other smaller things. Some of the things like the Bar garnish are somewhat true but it depends on the quality of the establishment, a lot has improved over the years and restaurant people as a whole take great pride in what they do.. not to say there are some bad apple's, like in everything. Yes I hate to cook a steak well done,, but its the customers who is paying for it and I would never give them something other then what they ordered.. A couple of things I think you read out of Anthony Bordains book "A Kitchen Confidential "
