Food poisoning

[Neons4life]

Well last week myself and a few co-workers decide to go out for lunch at the Metroploitan grill downtown.

I had the worst ever steak sandwich, when they brought it out it was full of fat, and not even a nice read color, but almost all white. I had it taken back and got them to get me another, and this one wasn't even much better, i noticed it was a little undercooked (like medium rare) but ate it anyways...Turned out to be a big mistake as I got food poisoning from it...took 4 days for it to hit me, but then I was sick in every way (if you know what I mean).

Then I come back to work the next day to find out a co-worker that also came with us ended up with food poisoning also from a pasta dish with chicken.

Needless to say I will never eat there again, and has turned me off from restaurant food period.

Should I file a complaint?

are you sure you can get food poisoning 4 days after eating food? I'd assume it would be pretty well digested by then.

[natejj]

I've had my share of food poisoning, but never 4 days after.... 24 hours at the MAX.

[YCB]

if you sent it back.. i'm sure you'll get a stomach ache... haven't you seen the movie waiting?? lol

meat would get dark if it was outside for too long..

[bspot]

Pretty sure 4 days is way too long for food poisining to kick in...

[dj_rice]

Yeah same here...4 days later...he must of ate somethin else between those 4 days too so he could of gotten poisoned from that

[snade831]

It either wasnt the meat, or you have the slowest digestion system ever.

[BigDannyCool]

it all depends what kind of virus you got. Signs of food poisoning can happen within hours or even a few days.

I've learned in nutrition class that food poisoning kicks in within hours of consuming whatever you ate.

4 Days? LOL

I work in the restaurant industry and if you called me and told me you got sick 4 days later.....well.....ummm.....yah....F-OFF

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

California is the best. Every restaurant you go to there is some sort of disclaimer along the lines of

'The food you are about to ingest may have come in contact with certain raw ingredients that may increase the risk of food borne illness.'

Or this one is unrelated but I still found it funny

'This product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer.'

[Ripper]

I forget the state I was in, (north carolina I think), but every place that served food that had a sanity rating in % form posted at the entrance.

Maybe more disturbing is at the dozen or so places I ate, none of them had 100%.

In LA you can request to see the Health Inspector's report. There was also an overall grading system A/B/C/D that is posted right in front of the restaurant door as well.

Now that shit is rigged and I will tell you why.

I somehow drove to a Popeye's in South Central LA haha it was the closest one on the Garmin. Anyway, it got a rating of A and the place was a shit hole.

Then I go to what looked like a 4-5 star restaurant and the rating is B. Ummm sure......

No, depends on what caused it, that only applies if the food poisoning is a type that has immediate impact, i.e on digestion, this table is pretty good:

Generally:
chemical toxins: usually immediate
various bacteria and viruses: a few hours to a few weeks.

So you don't know. Get tested before you conclude that any specific thing got you sick, unless there were several eating the same thing getting sick at about the same time.

Thanks for the table, some good info there. I wonder if I should be going to the doctors to get tested, because what I caught I still have.

and to all those people who say that if it's food poisoning you get sick right away and not 4 days later, bite me :poosie: lol
