The Worst Foods To Eat At A Restaurant According To Chefs

[@MashedFood]

Do you specifically avoid certain food items at restaurants?

[@annaadkins5377]

Mashed I avoid seafood because the last time I had it, I ended up with food poisoning.

[@tbb033]

mushrooms. vile fungus!

[@zerohedge9642]

Mashed : Yes. Bread, ice, I would never order chicken because I cook it myself at home. I make excellent poached eggs and homemade hollandaise (I even switched to making hollandaise in a glass baking dish because I could taste the metal when I made it in stainless steel). I avoid eating anything I routinely make at home. I routinely make poached eggs, hollandaise, and I make my own gyoza with store-bought wrappers with homemade filling. I freeze them and they look just like the ones at the local takeout place. When I eat out I want something quick or something I don't normally make at home.

[@TouchedProductions]

If I can't trust the resturant enough to order anything off its menu, I will not go to that resturant. Ever. Learn some fucking hygiene rules, Americans. Swapping bread-baskets? Label your sauce buckets with dates, and throw out sauce that's been stored for too long and put them in the cooler. You won't poison as many guests, I guarantee you.

[@gregoryscott7088]

Anything mashed. (no offense)

[@LearnWithEase87]

The worst food to order at a restaurant is food you can cook at home yourself with little effort= P.

[@umiluv]

Randy Li - yes indeed!

[@randymarsh1554]

I agree. It's kinda pointless to order any type of noodles for example and pay like 12$ for it when you could have done it for 4$ on your own. Cooking for example a steak is something way more difficult. And while a steak will maybe cost you 24$ in a restaurant you would still have paid like 12$ doing it on your own and you would be more likely to mess it up.

[@umiluv]

Randy Marsh - steak is actually pretty easy to make. You can do the Ramsay method and know by touch how well it’s done or use a thermometer. Then you can baste it at the end with butter, thyme, rosemary, and garlic in the pan. Then let it rest to keep the moisture in. It’s the special cuts of meat that you want to be paying for that you can’t get at the store or the butcher when you go to a restaurant.

[@LearnWithEase87]

If you are having issues cooking a steak try using a sous vide you can prob get a decent one for like $100 during black Friday, It has an app and recipes and will guide you threw everything. Get a blow torch with that and some ziplock bags with a straw and you are all set lol, never have dry meat again

[@jplegend98]

So any food basicly. All restaurants are rip ofs. I wish everyone cooked at home so these cunts will go out of business

[@joed5419]

Good to know, since I'll probably never eat out at a restaurant again

[@privateconfidential2129]

So basically.. don't order anything at a restaurant

[@StoryTimeWithKarenandKevin]

nope. Just cook your own shit. otherwise, you have no idea...

[@spirittammyk]

But, the practices going on at the supermarkets isn't any better. From falsely identifying meats, to injecting them with water to make the weigh more so you pay more for crap at the checkout. Then the waxing of produce to disguise that it is not as fresh as it appears......

[@SuperNovaHeights_]

Citizen Juma ahhhhhh, no🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@chrissimon8368]

I bought an expensive 3 lb roast for $27. After removing the package I noticed a lot of fat. After I started trimming there was more fat inside. I wondered how much so I weighed it, then I weighed all of the meat, and fat together. It weighed about a half pound less than what was on the package. I got a 1.5 lb roast. Even after trimming there was about a half an inch of oil in the bottom of the pan. I am not buying my meat from Lion King again.

[@KnowTrentTimoy]

NO....basically Don't GO to any restaurants.

[@blaackberry]

Woah that bread comment threw me off because at the restaurant I work at, food that has even touched the table somewhere else goes straight to the trash. If you didn’t eat your bread, or I sat it down on your table and you didn’t want it it gets thrown out immediately. Same with everything else even up to our steaks! If it touched the table it CANNOT and will not be resold.

[@monkeyman2407]

Reese Bradley I've never seen any food being recycled from table to table either & I have worked in the industry for over 20 years. I have heard stories about Mexican restaurants recycling salsa, but I've always wondered if those were rumors started by competitors etc

[@okryo266]

Where ya work?

[@danielsmith4474]

@@monkeyman2407 Worked at a 2 different Mexican restaurants during my 40 year career. They did not recycle, but the issue was employees taking chips out of the warmer and dipping them in the salsa, leaving traces of human saliva. Studies showed they found up to 3% saliva in salsa.

[@billspooks]

I am not Italian but I have heard there is an old Italian saying which goes, "If they are nice to you but they are not nice to the waiter they are not a nice people."

[@PongoXBongo]

Anyone who looks down on service staff is not to be trusted.

[@annapaulikonis2433]

U are exactky right.Watch how u treat waitstaff or other people who provide public services to people.

[@hevin4763]

How a customer treats a waiter/waitress shows alot about their personality.

[@whammersbach]

i actually know a guy who worked at restaurants in various positions,and left to do real estate,once he kinda got rich he would talk down to restaurant personnel,i called him out and he didnt care,now that hes broke i remind him of his assholeness during that period and boy does he deny deny deny, and yes hes a total asshole he has no real friends at age 37

[@genehakman9422]

Worked at many restaurants, never was the bread recycled.

[@tbb033]

But without lying about it, how's that crazy beeotch gonna get on TV?

[@TouchedProductions]

I've worked at a couple of resturants. If they did this, I'd rage-quit. I don't want to be a part of making anyone sick with food-poisoning, or anything. Oh, and I'd snitch on them to the gubment, cuss we can do that here in Soviet Norwegianstan.

[@2269tah]

Agreed. I, too, worked at many restaurants from family-type to High End. NEVER was anything left over from one dinner guest ever used on a new guest. Everything gets thrown away from the butter, bread, untouched leftovers.

[@gregoryscott7088]

Never seen it either. Nor have I ever seen anyone get sick from bacteria in Hollandaise Sauce or a cook complain about making such a simple dish.

[@WisteriaBerlitz]

Same for the places I worked at. But the ones on Kitchen Nightmares do so you'll never know.

[@NDWest]

Don't order pasta: it's dirt cheap, easy to dress up and priced sky-high.

[@PannavichA]

Wagyu : WAH-GYU. Not Way-goo 😓

[@kevinbasilio161]

Pannavich A. Was also disturbed by this lol...in my own universe calling wagyu in diff pronunciation means you dont know beef quality in my own understanding. Or never ever been eating high class beef meats

[@MxMxM699]

Pannavich A. The way she pronounced Wagyu almost gave me a small stroke

[@marwan_militia]

Wagyu: Wuck You

[@diebydeath]

Probably has dyslexia. Way-gu instead of Wagyu XD

[@metalmaniacal]

That always bothers me. I hear way-goo and wah-goo too much lol

[@merc_w0838]

I always avoid restaurants with large menus. The more items, the more likely you're eating month old frozen food. People generally hate small menus cause they like choices, but when I see a menu of around 10 items Im much more confident everything will be fresh and perfectly made. Also, for restaurants I go to often, I like to see the menu change with the season. There are times of the year where it is just not possible to get some types of fish fresh, and the menu should reflect that. Knowing what is in season can help greatly with this. A third thing I try and look for is owners/chefs that actually care. I had a chef refuse to serve me a dish once because I was dining outside, and he was worried the cold (it was late fall time) would kill the flavor of the dish. I just told him to make me a dish he thought would be best for me and my meal turned out to be amazing. It was obvious the guy/girl cared and so I trusted the chef. A fourth tip, and this one seems so obvious, but is so often not followed is stick to what the restaurant claims to be good at. Don't go to a burger place, order the one pasta dish they have on the menu, then complain that its not that great. No shit! If you have a craving for a specific type of dish, go to a place that specializes in it and you'll be much happier.

[@WratiSkate]

It's always baffled me as to why they serve you a load of bread before a meal in America, it's like they're saying "yeah the food here's shit so you better fill up on bread."

[@crazy4cockapoos]

to fill you up faster so you leave and they can seat more customers

[@nosatisfaction2278]

So when at a restaurant avoid Seafood, beef, chicken, Hollandaise sauce, bread.... Wait WTF am I supposed to order 🙄

[@adamchurvis1]

And, uh, "WAY-goo?" Don't you mean "WAHG-yoo?"

[@tbb033]

"kobay" more like "kobee"

[@adamchurvis1]

Actually, native Japanese pronounce it "KO-beh."

[@TrainFan-tk4yq]

It makes me want to cringe every time when Americans pronouncing Wagyu “way-goo.”

[@adamchurvis1]

Second only to "MARS-cah-pone" rather than "mahs-cahr-POE-neh." I actually listened to a CMC mispronounce it that way during the introduction to the dinner he was presenting. I have also heard it on television food programs and even saw it spelled that way on a television description of a dessert. I am tempted to start a cartoon program, "Mars Capone," which features a cloned Al Capone living in a secret underground city on Mars, where he runs all the action from booze to broads to betting. A real old-school gangster with new-school technology and a penchant for metatheses.

[@DrunkSnowWhite]

I've legit never once heard a person call it "way-goo" until this video. And thought it was kinda weird how this video sorta downplayed how good general wagyu is. It may not be Kobe level, but it's still going to be better than pretty much everything else on the menu

[@juliancollot7579]

I used to work at a restaurant and the bread was shipped pre baked in cardboard boxes and we just kept them in these heated drawer thingies until they were ready to be served. This is common place in almost every restaurant that serves bread. The only places that make their own bread fresh everyday are like bakeries

[@karenstrycharz1499]

So interesting! I so love “MASHED” & all the various interesting & informative videos that you make! Each one has something I have never heard before & also some great recipes, too! Great blog/site!

[@binzsta86]

I've worked in the food industry all my life and if you want to avoid bad food, don't eat out! 99.99% of restaurants out there are dirty. I've seen it all, including high-end restaurants.

[@nathanarbuckle3180]

So you are purposely sabotaging your own paycheck by telling people to not come to your job and spend money? That's brilliant. Jesus Christ.

[@TheWentzMachine]

I too who have worked in the food industry plenty. You just said 1 in 1000 restaurants are clean. Not even close to accurate.

[@binzsta86]

Is your "paycheck" more important than people's health? I hope not.. Believe me, there are clean people out there and there are dirty ones who wouldn't careless about how your food is prepared. It's unfortunate that I have to work with those people and having to witness their unsanitary work practice and feeling guilty for myself and the customers who are eating crappy food served by crappy people. Just by your comment alone, I wouldn't doubt you are one of those crappy people.

[@JP4truth]

@LightUptheSky000 Agreed. I've work in the food industry for 20 years and seen behind the the back of house many establishments. The head chef sets the standards. One of the best head chefs I've every worked with ran a top notch kitchen with where quality, cleanliness, and listening to feedback from clients was a priority. However, this isn't commonplace. I personally won't eat out unless I've at least looked at the government health reports before hand. Any place with multiple violations is immediately off my list.

[@willisbronze9984]

Specialy fast food like mac, kfc, ... they always overused their oil to ake friend chicken and chips ,

[@cheftekard7165]

I’ve been a chef for a long time. Most of these are true!

[@jgpwlcs36]

Bread circulates from table to table? Really? I remember talking to my friend's mother who worked in the restaurant biz and she said that once the plate/basket/whatever hits the table, its theirs now. She said this is why servers will ask who got what entree before putting down because if it isn't yours and they put it down they have to start all over again and remake it. She said they do this with everything too, bread, entrees, drinks... anything

[@archwing3441]

The video is more on general rule of thumb on places you've never been before, not everything is always true and apply to all places. In the case of your friend's mother, bread doesn't get passed around. That doesn't mean other places doesn't do that, nor will be you be able to tell.

[@daway212]

Well generally, that should be the golden rule at any food service industry, but there are also people who doesn’t know any better

[@blackmetal4546]

I'm a cook and at my job bread doesn't get passed from one table to the next. It's exactly how you said as soon as the food touches the table it can't be reused.

[@runarandersen878]

So because your friends mother haven't heard about it, it doesn't happen? Lots of restaurants out there...

A little misinformed on some parts, for example the bread basket part. I've worked in multiple high end restaurants and we always send out fresh bread, I know because I'm the one baking them. Any leftovers or untouched gets thrown in the bin. It's painful for me because it's my hard work going in the trash, but it's a very strict rule across many restaurants. What I'm saying is, avoid the bread at cheap casual restaurants but you can always trust the bread at fine dining places.

william driscoll-geeves Yes, think about it, there's nowhere secluded enough for them to do anything to the dish. A waiter could only take food from the Hotplate (what we call "the Pass" in the catering industry) to the tables at the restaurant. If they'd mess with the food at the pass in the kitchen, then they'd most likely be caught by the head chef standing close by. And when they're in the restaurant, well that's all of the customers and other waiters they'd have to worry about..

Amazing how the “famous chefs” never mention about avoiding pretentious restaurants where the chef thinks “micro greens “ and a 500 to 1000% markup means it’s worth it. Not to mention that having a Michelin Star means a gas/rubber company added them to a travel book, so said gas/rubber company can sell said travel book that is based around ad revenue. I have been to the fancy $200 a plate restaurants and I have been to the $15 a plate ma and pa restaurants, and 9 out of 10 times the ma and pa restaurants are usually 1000% better. Trust me as someone who worked at the famous CIA and met some of the graduates. More people waste money eating out, because they refuse to acknowledge they are being ripped off.

[@jamesbevan9939]

My tip when checking out a new restaurant - your first time there, order a burger. This is a good way to judge the quality of the cooking staff. If they mess up something that simple, it's not worth coming back.

[@emperorehryn2370]

"All kobe beef is wagyu but not all wagyu is kobe" Wagyu means Japanese Cow, that's it. Kobe refers to a specific strain of black angus called Taijima. What makes Kobe the meat bae is the marbling is much higher, and lower melting point of said fats. Terms like Wagyu, Kobe, American-Kobe, can all be thrown around at will in the US cause there's really no legal protection. Kobe wasn't even an export until 2012. Real Kobe's going to set you back hundreds of $$$.

There are only 8 certified Kobe beef restaurants in the US. The one I know of is the steakhouse at the Wynn resort at Las Vegas.

This is very rare Hokkaido Snow Beef is so rare you have to go to Hokkaido to buy it and is not found on the main Island, Honshu.

BILL PAXTON what if I told you that at the restaurant im working at we make our own bread?

[@paulh7589]

Kamla Anand- Great point. I never even thought of that, thank you.

[@Mcscher]

Thats why i put a toe nail in my leftover bread

[@shaleknight6224]

grand unified you're sick heh heh

[@Hokuto_Tongi]

Thank you for this comment 😂

[@minervamcgonagall8805]

This is why I don't go out to eat.

[@chrishager3308]

Man, that's funny. Just wash your feet before doing it, OK ?

[@grantchow13]

Worked at Marriott for over 15 years. We never re - served bread from baskets. It was a standard but I can see diners and mom pop operations doing it from a cost perspective.

[@caseyvee4419]

It is illegal in most localities to re-serve bread which has already been on a table, unless it is in sealed packaging. This regulation is widely ignored, but does exist most places. I ran a restuarant for 3.5 years and this was in the booklet of rules given to us by the local health dept.

This channel is always in my recommendations.

[@Pheminon1]

1:40 Shared bread? That's absolutely disgusting. I'm so glad the restaurant that I work at doesn't do this. We actually cut it in half in the morning and then we toss it in the oven to warm it up when you sit down and give it a nice toast. But, I can agree on the specials thing. Even though we don't reuse bread, we do have the same special for a few days. I remember one time we had 5 specials. Do you know how long it takes to read all of those off?

[@LTdrumma]

Eat at home, then just drink at the restaurant

[@danielsmith4474]

Until we start talking about the sanitary conditions of pop machines, ice tea machine and coffee machines. Trust me, this is a bigger issue than the rolls.

[@Beefn]

When did everybody get do good at this topic?

[@jimcyr7380]

Anthony bourdain sadly has nothing to say as of today . Rip old friend

[@AM-ne9kv]

u knew him?

[@greg_gamer]

I don't know how things are everywhere, but I've met a guy whose parents owned a pizza place and he told us to NEVER ever eat the olives. Why? Because (at least in his place) they recovered the uneaten olives, washed them and put them back in other pizzas. He also told us to destroy the olives we don't eat.

[@OgresStump]

Ok, as a server for over 13 years I can tell you that not once EVER at any of the locations I have worked was I asked by my employer to serve bread sides that had already touched the floor. To be more specific the policy has always been if it leaves the kitchen it goes into the trash if it comes back. Only 1 exception in the entire time was prepackaged creamers served with coffee at IHOP.

[@gennadyreshetnikov5948]

Four more reasons to avoid ordering chicken are: 1. Salmonella 2. Staphylococcus 3. Clostridium perfringens 4. Campylobacter

[@DarthSinistris]

Gennady Reshetnikov that's what i season my chickens with

[@fixitmann6685]

4 more reasons not to eat at a restaurant: 1) People carry germs 2) Other people have prepared your food, who knows what's in it. 3) Other people who did NOT prepare your food touched it, or the plates it is served on. 4) Restaurants do not serve food you raised yourself.

[@---ux8uc]

congratulations, you know big words!

[@ActionParsnip]

Gennady Reshetnikov in Japan you can get chicken sashimi

[@spentspritz8046]

Fixit Mann 1.That's why people wash they're hands before preparing meals. 2.Most Restaurants have very strict rules about what's in your food/how it was prepared. 3.I call bullshit,also this can be debunked with number one. 4.No shit sherlock.

[@fionajackson8002]

I can't be the only one who thought that pizza at the end looked amazing...

[@TodoRivieraNayarit]

Used to eat there all the time when i lived in denver

[@binshuo]

Please, have some respect for yourself. Don't eat stuff like that. It looks it contains too much stuff that makes people die young

[@chevychase3103]

Hell I would eat it I'm like Mikey I eat anything!

[@kat35lulu88]

Fiona Jackson I gained 5 lbs just looking at it!!!!!

[@surewd]

So sad seeing Bourdan in these videos. Won't hear his truthful comments anymore. 😔

[@kray97]

With regards to the bread - circulating from table to table. Is the expectation then that uneaten/untouched bread should just be thrown out? Food waste is a huge problem in America with many people actually going hungry here.

[@clydecavalieri4511]

My cousin went to a wedding in a nice hotel, 150 people got salmonella from Hollandaise sauce made with raw eggs and placed over chicken. The handful of people who had vegetarian dishes were safe. Also Bourdain said specials are old food they have to much of that they want to get rid of. Saturday's shrimp and scallops become Mondays seafood newburgh special. Leftover beef becomes beef bourguginon. Cover it up with a sauce, turn it into a cassorole, and send it out.

[@jondstewart]

Chicken is an item that is more risky for food poisoning than any other. Or any poultry for that matter. You don’t undercook chicken like beef or seafood under any circumstances! Either 165 degrees or over or not at all!

[@cwd243]

Nope. Im a serv safe instructor. The two top foods to get food poisoning from are rice and baked potatoes, usually due to time temperature abuse and not busting up large portions so they cool fast enough. Chicken doesnt make the top five for top foodborne illnesses likelyhood. Even with salmonella, and cross contamination, ground beef is way more dangerous. The pathogens that occur in meat like ecoli and salmonella are on the outside surfaces and work their way in as the meat decays. Ground meat takes these pathogens and distributes them thru the whole product. I sure hope you don't work in a resturant. Especially as a chef. Lol.

[@djrighthand]

And that's why you should order water only at fancy restaurants

No wonder he killed him self?! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Trust me on this one. Anthony Bourdain doesn't live by any rules any longer! RIP Anthony!

[@jacobmeade1045]

Wagyu beef is still very expensive tho

[@luckyhands4995]

We get our seafood deliveries every other day except Sundays. The first thing I do at work Monday morning after i open is recieve the seafood delivery.

[@yongyiho4076]

My wife's a chef, im in the industry for more than 2 decades. Its a pain to eat out.... often we go for street food (hawker food, in my country). When we step foot in a restaurant, it costs us 3 arms 2 legs (good food isnt cheap). We avoid S.O.D (soup of the day), food trimmings, unutilise vegetables, some "oops" and "damn" that happen in the kitchen goes into soups. Bon appetit....

[@GenderSkins]

As a Chef there are things I do avoid, and foods I avoid eating. And yes Chicken breast in a BBQ restaurant is one of those foods. As it is often over cooked, especially if it’s pit smoked. This is due to the extreme heat that is difficult to regulate, in large wood burning pits used by commercial restaurants. I also will not send a steak back if it’s under cooked for how I order it. Lastly I would recommend avoiding the complementary chips, at some Mexican restaurants due to the tendency to recycle chips. But not all Mexican restaurants do this.

[@AlanHope2013]

The thing about fish on a Monday is certainly true in Europe. Traditionally, fishing boats don't go out on a Sunday, so there's no fish market on a Monday, which means any fish you find is dating back to Friday. I don't know if Bourdain or his network came under pressure, but his point was sound.

[@TheLifeontheropes]

A good portion of “fresh” fish is flash frozen at sea...frozen foods aren’t necessarily bad as long as proper steps are taken to freeze and thaw them properly.

[@crashpal]

Ramsey's No Nos: 1. Frozen 2. Microwaved 3. Raw 4. Overcooked 5. Bland 6. Salty 7. Rubber 8. Rotten 9. Burned 10. NINOOOOOOOO

[@eleoVAL]

The thing about chicken is so true, everytime i've ordered chicken at a restaurant its always overcooked and dry af

[@loiselias9917]

Eleo2k I would rather it be dry than under cooked. You can get seriously sick by eating undercooked chicken.

[@PT111111]

So true about chicken being overcooked, specially the breast fillet, which is really easy to dry out. Even a popular Bavarian Bier Cafe that I went to couldn't make a tender juicy chicken schnitzel.

[@infowazz]

my parents are "seniors" and have recently gotten free food once a week from a local community center. not becasue they are poor, but because the food is donated. anyways, the food quality is horrible. the chicken and fish is in unmarked plastic. the frozen fish is full of water and when thawed its just nasty. a generic white fish. i got sick from eating it. it felt like a war was going on in my stomach. you do get what you pay for and if you have to spend less on other things, its worth paying extra for good food. skip all the snacks and eat fruits and veggies. avoid all th emiddle ailes in the grocery store.

[@mikebartlett1774]

Can't agree more. I loathe brunch and refuse to serve hollandaise due to the volatility. My specials on the other hand are of a very thin focus and no more than 2 per service.

[@hans3331000]

The worst feeling ever is spending 25-2 bucks at a restaurant eating food that you could've made at home easily and it's just such a weird feeling that i lose my apetite. it's like a scam.

[@hans3331000]

25-30*

[@EarlEdinbour]

Exactly! Eating out is alright on occasion, but I can't understand how people live off this costly garbage.

[@feltcap]

jim halpert you are paying for someone else to do ALL the work for you. And to clean up afterwards. You're paying for the atmosphere.

[@alendonvaldor5808]

One thing that gets me, is people asking if our sushi fish is fresh or frozen. It literally by law has to be frozen for a certain period of time before being considered safe to serve.

[@marthabixler1606]

Usually I would tell not to order all you can eat fish most places it's frozen and improperly thawed but in small restaurants in Michigan's upper peninsula they have their own boats the fish is fresh

[@sevantookmanian]

I just want people to know I never sent bread to a different table if it wasn't eaten. Bread is either expensive to bring in or a lot of work to prep and make, but I never let my coworkers send bread out again if it wasn't eaten. Same goes for unused silverware and many other things.

[@troy9477]

Depends where u go i guess. Took my buddy to lunch today at Outback. I hadn't been to one in well over 4 yrs. My steak was cooked just right, baked potato was fine, the soup was very good, his ribs were excellent and his fries were perfect(firm and good). The bloomin onion was great as always, and the mini loaves of bread were brought out warm. The service was very good too. My first ever Sazerac was great also (i know its history and recipe). Very good experience, and noth the slightest complaint. It was a bit pricey, but worth it as a treat.

4) a good Indian joint (mmm, tandoori) ;)

at the end there when Ramsey said the pizza was dripping in grease, was that butterfat from the mozz? cause when i see that im loving it

[@marshalllucky]

uneaten salad can also be rinsed and put on the following diners plate , I`ve worked in restaurants where it was compulsory to do this by order of the management.
