- degron, on 10/10/2007, -3/+97Moo shoe garlic anyone?
- pmcall221, on 10/10/2007, -2/+89You could say that employee got the boot...
- ohmyblazes, on 10/10/2007, -2/+59Maybe their garlic press was dirty.
- cbergeron, on 10/10/2007, -11/+63Maybe he was jamming out to "Wok this way" ?
- markp93, on 10/10/2007, -0/+49The owner's last name is Shu. neat-o.
- cbergeron, on 10/10/2007, -1/+37They don't do it with their boots on though.
- 0bamaclintobush, on 10/10/2007, -10/+39Hey, they do it to grapes. Why not garlic?
- _skin_, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26Yeah, they do it with their bare feet. Mmm, I love feet. I want to eat em! Wait,,, what?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+24as a former Health Inspector I can assure you that that stuff goes on in a lot of Chinese Restaurants!!! You wouldn't believe what's out there. I am not big on regulators but that's one industry that would run amuck if left alone.
- SkippyDoorknob, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18He was trying to make soul food.
- dykast, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12I have eaten at this place a couple times and thought it was actually pretty good for a cheap buffet....
I think i just threw up in my mouth a little.. - Otto, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11No, they don't. They use a wine press. They've been around since even the 11th century.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_press - wendelgee2, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14They don't still do that, do they???? This is the 21st Century, after all.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11They should shut the restaurant down. That type of philosophy I bet permeates how the whole kitchen is run. Disgusting.
- nepawoods, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Actually, it is believed that the bacteria that give limburger cheese its fragrance comes from way back when the cheese was prepared by monks who stomped the raw curds with their bare feet. The foot bacteria transferred to the cheese, and has been cultivated in the cheese manufacturing process ever since.
- jfarley1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Dugg down for being a dumbass and not speaking the English language
- diggitydoc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7an ally? who were the enemies?
- brstilson, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Grapes are exposed to things far worse than feet during their growth.
- Terr01, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6General Toe's Chicken
- jeffchuck, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7"Stomping on garlic with your shoes on is apparently not the correct way to prepare food."
Dugg for awesome first sentence! - diggitydoc, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9you aren't big on regulators??? YOU WERE ONE!!!!!!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Yeah, and in fact, some of the best wine comes from foot-pressed grapes. They do it to prevent tannins from being squeezed out of the skins and seeds, resulting in a smoother, less bitter product. I'm not a wine snob, but I do find interest in novel ways of preparing food and drink.
/Insert Monk quote about "Foot Wine" here - krisscofield, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I used to work at a Starbucks right next to a Chinese restaraunt, and let me tell you...when I took out the trash, would always catch the Chinese guys hosing down the buffet trays right on filthy-ass street with rats all about, using a hose! No soap. No nothin'. Just a hose, and then it's right back into the buffet.
- SugeKnight, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7That's bad...but not as bad as the Oriental Buffet that was in Sarasota. They found raccoon skins in the corner of the kitchen....of course, the restaurant was shut down.
Side note....The health inspector was suspicious when all the cooks had Davy Crockett hats on. J/K - sfgeek, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Actually he's dead on. In LA the restaurants all get letter grades from the health dept.
The joke is that "C" is for Chinese food. I feel a lot safer in Japanese restaurants, they tend to be pretty clean. - Azuroth, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6too bad he ended up with sole food.
- diggitydoc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5sure it is.... the best restaurants dont necessarily practice the best sanitation.
- glasgowm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5That's a whopper if I've ever heard one
- Nougat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5The question is - have you eaten there?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Save the big pieces. They might use those.
- Niz1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4i bet you don't realise half the ingredients your actually eating if you think garlic sucks.
- ronaldinho, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4When the Chinese can put cardboard into pork buns, anything can happen
Kitchens in Chinese restaurants are often one of the dirtiest place one can find - skyteria, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4*sigh*
http://www.snopes.com/horrors/food/chinese.asp - dicerandom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4My family used to belong to a small wine making cooperative - it was traditional for the younger children to have first crack at crushing the grapes bare-footed. It was a lot of fun when I was 6.
- JeffreyLebowski, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Reason #176 why you should avoid all "Chinese" buffets.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3the bacteria population is not happy about this. good luck for your sir they don't vote.
- sfgeek, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4True, they don't ALWAYS, but most top chef's are pretty obsessed about the details and their reputation. I've seen everybody from a line cook to a sous chef get the boot for risking cross-contamination or not keeping their station clean at all times.
Yes, plenty of restaurants are shady, but plenty aren't. Your best be is to go to restaurants with super clean bathrooms. Generally speaking, sparkling bathrooms are a good litmus for the back of the house. - kevin_qnn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3i've eaten there too. its a good day to not be a germaphobe
- drewhenson, on 10/10/2007, -4/+7the sad thing is that I know were this is.
- plainOldFool, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I worked at two different Bennigans restaurants and I have to say that I NEVER saw anything questionable going on in the kitchen. I'm not saying every restaurant is all straight-laced (pun forcefully intended) but it didn't go down any place I worked.
- sabach, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2While your statement is in fact BS, there is this Wikipedia quote...
"The bacteria used to ferment Limburger cheese and other rind-washed cheeses is Brevibacterium linens; this same bacteria is found on human skin and is partially responsible for human body odor" - ncapone, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Let me guess, you've never had a plate of spaghetti. Sicko!
- WaterDragon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2MOO shoe garlic ....must be the one with beef in it..
- Thuktun, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Then I guess I'd best not remind you that wine is filled with yeast excrement, or that many plants consume the wastes of animals.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2You should have seen them stomping the cats the day before for the special.
- nepawoods, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"The bacteria used to ferment Limburger cheese and other rind-washed cheeses is Brevibacterium linens; this same bacteria is found on human skin and is partially responsible for human body odor.[1] A likely reason for this is that the monks of Limburg who created the cheese would originally mix the milk and curds into cheese by stomping it with their feet."

What, you think I make this stuff up?
Another interesting fact is that 93% of limburger cheese sales are not for consumption as a food, but for playing practical jokes involving offensive odors. - waymatter, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I love the quote in the middle: "The health department does not consider a person's shoe or boot a proper instrument to use in food preparation." No *****...I guess using my dick as a temperature gauge is out too.
- raynar, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4I like my wine boob-pressed.
- camaroz06, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I am pretty sure when done with grapes people wash their feet before...Dirty ass sneakers are probally 100x worse.
