Just watched last night's Top Chef. Is anyone else disgusted by seeing the

I'm just glad I can't afford to eat at Tesar's restaurants because after

Having watched him I understand why he has the reputation as Dallas's most hated chef.

 
I saw that at a DD&D diner in Jacksonville. We like to sit at the counter and watch the line cooks.

Completely put me off my meal.

 
I think it's even worse on Chopped. Sometimes I wonder how the judges can stand eating the food.

 
After seeing other people cook in their own homes? I'm very skeptical of homemade treats.

For the first time in my life...I've spent the past 3 years with various roommates. So disgusting. Cobwebs in the kitchen? Really? Slimy, oozing hard cheeses? "Just trim that off...." "Why do you need to wash that?" (Used bowl/utensil/glass) Ugh!

 
Touching hair, face, eyes, nose, mouth then straight back to food prep...and other unsanitary

measures. Nope, not up for food from such kitchens either.

 
My floor may not always be perfectly mopped but I'm very clean elsewhere in the kitchen

but my friend who lets the cat on the counter, I brought my own bleach wipes last time to her house. She thinks its cute then they sleep in her pots and pans, and one counter is "his". OMG

I watched Chopped last night and this guy dropped a cooked pork belly on the floor, picked it up and put it back in the pan and served it to the judges. ew. They didn't eat it and tossed him out.

 
Heather, the bleach wipes...I get it. When I was a kid, I hung out at or neighbor's house. Their

place always had a funny smell. Their house was tidy but oof! Even at 6 years old, I was put off by the smell (must have been in the carpet.) When the kids stopped playing for a Kool-Aid break, I'd run home and get my own glass!

 
I am so glad to read this! I was really thinking I had a problem...

not wanting to eat from to bake sales, cookie swaps... potlucks, even. But I have to remember, I love cookie dough, cake batter, all that stuff, and I am still here, and (knock on wood) have few, if any food-borne problems.

In Guatemala, though, I ate tamales that were passed along a "food chain" during a ceremony to celebrate an electrification in a village. Never have I been so sick -- amoebas. Horrible. Another journalist got it too. We took turns in the bathroom and at the computer trying to finish up the story.
