Dirty secrets nobody talks about

Lets hear em

I'm always partial to what goes on in the kitchen of restaurants.

Can't talk without it being declassified. Probably not in my lifetime.

Ground meat and sausage making come to mind.

The whole "pink slime" thing is proof. It was a true unspoken secret - nothing illegal was done, but they sold us the bits scraped out of the bottom of the machines as PRIME GROUND BEEF. That would have been dog food at best.

(Needless to say, I usually eat nothing ground that's not been ground by yours truly). On sausages I am a little less strict - there are just too many good ones to pass up out there, but I do make hundreds of links myself every year too.

I worked a service bar shift many years back in a super high end restaurant in San Diego county. It was one of those nights where tables, food, drinks were way behind the demand. So this knuckle head big roller proclaims that the Bombay Sapphire I poured him was NOT Bombay Sapphire...the waiter comes back to my bar exasperated and feed up with the guy. Well I 'fixed' his drink for him and he was a happy camper...lol.

Never send your food back to the kitchen to 'fix'. x2 for cocktails sent back to the service bar because it was not made with the premium liquor you requested.

Consider this an insider (well...20+ years ago) fair warning.

A couple glasses and I am infalible. A few glasses and all bets are off.

I'm a little short on money these days. Thanks for the idea. Should be a super easy sting. Gonna line up a lawyer tomorrow. Together we should do rather well.

I just wet myself.

I worked nights with a whackjob at a Sears Auto Service in my late teens. This guy spiked the customer lounge cofee, and not with booze...... He was so proud of this feat, but none of us thought it was funny, He almost got his lights turned out by another older mechanic. I was ready to help.

A buddy was workin at Macdonalds when he was a kid and he was using the staff wash room and noticed a ceiling tile was a little crocked, when he went to straighten it the tile broke and a whole stack of Wank mag's fell out.
The manager had a talk with the male staff regarding playing with yourself and then serving food. It spawned (sorry) a whole line of jokes about the special sauce and cheese burgers.
Think about it the next time your at any drive through.

Another burger story from a friend of mine. He worked in a burger place a long time ago. It was a small, privately owned place. Everyday an old guy would come to the place for lunch. According to my friend, he was a rude, crude, unfriendly old guy who treated the kids there pretty badly. My friend was the burger flipper. He also had a fly swatter next to the grill. So he started swatting flies everyday and putting them on a window ledge. When the old guy would come in & order his burger, the flies went into his paddy. I guess it's another lesson on how not to treat the people serving you food.
