UConn James Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Back in the '60s in East Hartford, there was a problem that a lot of people's cats were disappearing. (Well, some people see that as a problem ). So, one day, this kid my father knew.... his mother was cleaning up his room and found a drawer with wads of money in it, and bear in mind this was back in the day when a nickel went a long way. Turns out, he would shoot cats with his BB gun and sell them to a Chinese restaurant in the area. Yes, people, stereotypes don't always come from thin air.

Wacka Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 My brother-in-law used to drive trucks for a well known company that supples restaurants. He said some of the fanciest, well known restraunts in WNY had filthy kitchens. We used to ask his opinion of a place before eating there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 In LA county they find ONE cockroach they shut you down for infestation. That place should be burned to the ground. I liked this one: 38. Observed unnecessary items on the premise. "We don't have any idea what that is, but we really don't think it belongs in a restaurant." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromagnum Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 About fifteen years ago I was fishing in the merrimack river for carp, back then the river water could be real bad basically a sewer if it was raining. The spot I fished was 200 yds upstream from the treatment plant outflow pipe, and the carp loved it and averaged 20 lbs. There was couple other fishermen trying their luck, when I landed a biggin and was about to toss it back, dude says wait I'll take it if your going to let it go. I gave him the fish then asked him are you seriously going to eat that fish from this water. He said no I have a bar tab at the mandarin and I pay my bill in carp.
