15 seconds of fun, 2 weeks of the runs.

In this instance not talking about a fancy mexican restaurant where it's pricier, cleaner, and you can kinda tell the seafood will be decent to above average quality, this is more about the dumpy hole in the wall places (which being a native Californian is completely normal and typical) that do the meat and other things fairly well.

 

I walked into a dumpy mexican restaurant a couple weeks ago to get some carne, and right off the bat it smelled funky. Took a look at the menu, and realized I walked into a marisco.

 

Mexican seafood? No f**kin thanks.

 

I walked right out. Why anyone would eat seafood at a dumpy mexican joint is beyond me, it just doesn't add up, you're just asking to eat bad old seafood and quite possibly get sick. I'll take the carne asada, chicken, or carnitas, but beyond that count me out. There's just some things some cultures do right at their restaurants, and seafood is most definitely not one of them.

Unless you are at Senior Frog's skip the sea food

Cooks taking a dump and not washing their hands

[ten ocho recon scout]

Ive been in restaraunt kitchens on calls at work, and have been utterly disgusted by the conditions.

Suprised this kind of thing doesnt happen more often

[Blarg]

At any given point of a rush hour all full service kitchens are a dump. It is a question of whether the procedures before and after the peak business are attended to determines if you're at risk.

More than likely the shrimp were not deviened and the intestinal track removed properly. Under prepared seafood not handled properly like sitting out too long unrefrigerated would not have cooked away the bacteria in the shrimp causing people to get ill.

I find it doubtful one cook could take out 200 people with a bad butt wipe since that would have rubbed off in the first couple of servings.
