It's a very Special fried Fried Rice alright...

[szw]

The disappearing act is exactly what I would expect and makes me laugh a bit. I'm used to seeing the disappearing act after something as simple as askign for more chilli.

Jesus Christ that's really fucking disgusting. If I had found that in my food I would have called Tony Tighe from CFCN or Global News consumer watch AND the health board.

Gah...

I would love to know where you can find reports like that!
Edit: Found the reports, and am finding lots of disgusting things about some of my favorite restaurants. Sushi Ginza has failed me.

asian places are known for stuff like this. Heck, even american restaurants have things like this happen all the time. I dont trust the food that comes out of any restaurant. I've worked in the food service industry for 8 years and nothing suprises me anymore. Sometimes you dont even know the plate you are using was clean before they put food on it.

i was in chinatown a couple weeks ago and saw a rat run though the restaurant. Everybody saw it and no one really cared, not even the employees. Half of the guests were not even asian and they didnt care. It's usualy the dirty places the server the best authentic foods and everyone knows that. Will i go back to the same restaurant? wouldnt be my first choice but i would probably go again.

I didn't see it at first either, but that is way to far a band aid?!
Band-Aids gross me out when I see them on the sidewalk let alone in my fried rice..
I've worked in many restaurants that were clean and sanitary in the kitchen area, I wish I had more knowledge of the back of house of a lot of places I frequent..
