6 things you should not order in a restaurant: 1. Chicken Meat may become contaminated during slaughter or not properly washed or cooked at a restaurant; for it to be properly washed it has to be done with soap and warm water and anything that has touched the raw chicken/meat should be washed this way as well. What to do? Always request that your food be cooked thoroughly, especially meat, poultry, fish, and eggs. Check the meat by cutting it in the middle, check for it if to be all white this will indicate it is properly cooked, any pink white meat, send it back. 2. Salads/Lettuce Fruits and vegetables are extremely altered with chemicals and sometimes they have been sitting there for weeks. An easy example is lettuce. A salad in a restaurant contains more than half a lettuce, it should be properly washed leaf by leaf for it to actually be clear of bacteria. In some cases people wash lettuce with a few drops of chlorine, since it contains tiny worms and bacteria that can cause big damage to our stomachs. While making around 100 salads per day do you think there is someone washing lettuces properly in a restaurant? 3. Seafood: About 70% of the time the seafood that you eat in restaurants, come from markets. Seafood restaurants buy big quantities of fish cheaper in these places, you don’t really eat fresh sea food and don’t know how it was manipulated or how long it has been out of the water. 4. House specialties: Every restaurant has a house special, it is their high demand and main product, for them to have time enough to prepare them they have to pre-make them, meaning they could be sitting there for hours. 5. Tap water and ice: Water is extremely contaminated these days, even though there are water filters, restaurants refill their pitchers with water that sits there for hours, also by adding ice, even if the person used something to put it in the glass, ice has been sitting there and ice cubes are very dirty and full of bacteria as well. 6. Do it yourself grilling places: People who go to those places where you can cook your own food, are doing 3 things wrong: · after the restaurant closes, chefs or whoever cleans up the place uses chemicals to clean up the residue, if you are one of the first costumers you might be eating your food with some of these chemicals. · the restaurant serves the food raw for you to cook it, this food sits out there in room temperature for a while, making it more vulnerable to bacteria. · these type of restaurants are usually more expensive and think twice you are paying for cooking your own food? Yeah it might be a fun thing to do especially if going with kids but opt for getting a cooking set of your own and do this activity at home you will save lots of money and avoid a lot of bacteria and germs!
