1
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: I'm not This is not an opportunity to clown on

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: any particular restaurant, So let's not necessarily use name brands. Okay,

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: And I'm not even looking for like the nasty. If

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: you've gotten nasty, fine, But I mean, what is the thing?

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: I mean, it's Anthony Bourdin wrote a whole book about

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: this kitchen confidential rip. But what is the thing if

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: you've worked in the food service industry that happens that

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: people might be surprised to know? For example, I guess

9
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: those bread baskets are commonly reused. Like if bread comes

10
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: to your table and you don't touch it, apparently it's

11
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: not uncommon that they will then put the bread in

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: another red and serve it to somebody else that's in

13
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: that Anthony boor.

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: You picked through the bread that you want, like you know,

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: you go to a certain spot, it has brown bread

16
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: in bread in the same fast. So they you're telling

17
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: me you're at the table and you touched all over

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 2: the bread, and then I down and they bring me

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: the bridge.

20
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 3: It's possible they refresh the bread.

21
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: The other thing is people like even if you don't

22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: touch it, which a lot of times, you know, you

23
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: get a restaurant. You don't touch it, you're still kind

24
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: of breathing on it and whatever else, and it might

25
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: wind up back on your tap.

26
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: It's possible. Wow, there was a whole list of his stuff.

27
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: But I'm wondering what comes to mind, because this I

28
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: saw over the weekend on TikTok from the Tampa Bay Times,

29
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: a very high end Japanese restaurant in Tampa is apparently

30
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: doing this.

31
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 3: January, the Tampa Bay Times received a tip that Co,

32
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: a Tampa Heights restaurant, was taking foxtail ferns from a

33
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 3: neighboring apartment building and using them to garnish plates.

34
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: And so this TikTok, it shows a man in a

35
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: waiter like he's appears to work there next to the restaurant,

36
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: in the like the planters at the apartment complex, and

37
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: he's seen chopping the plants from the apartment complex and

38
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: then apparently they take them back to the restaurant, they

39
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: washed them, and then they use them as garnish. And

40
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: while the restaurant's not saying where they from, where they

41
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: source them, they are saying that they're not intended to

42
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: be eaten, but they are on the plate and they

43
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: are cleaned. But I don't think this is like far

44
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: they have a farmer's market out and back or like

45
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, farmed a table. I mean, I think it

46
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: looks like this is actually the landscaping from the neighboring

47
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 1: residential area and they're just chopping the little leaves and

48
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: putting them on the plate.

49
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: Imagine what it's sprayed with, possibly, you know or who knows.

50
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: I don't like a dog pete eye, Yeah, exactly, like

51
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: or like, how about if you're going to do that,

52
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: don't wear the what appears to be a waiter outfit

53
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: from the restaurant. Like I know restaurants that they'll have

54
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: like a garden in the back or whatever, and they'll

55
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: they'll have a little like parsley or whatever else, or

56
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: maybe even the garden is like on the outdoor dining

57
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: area and they'll use some of that.

58
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 3: Like I get all that. What I'm just shook.

59
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: This is this whole brand thing is really disturbing to

60
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 2: That's why.

61
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 4: You should never complain in a restaurant, never have your

62
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 4: food taking back because you don't know what's gonna happen

63
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 4: to it.

64
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I roll with that.

65
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 2: You know, I'm gonna complain about it, but my food.

66
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: But I can't believe this bread thing. This bread thing

67
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 2: is really has me shook right now.

68
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: You know how long those crackers sitting there?

69
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 5: I don't think I ever restocked a cracker basket, and

70
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 5: I worked at the restaurant for like ten years.

71
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: So it's just like a basket full of crackers.

72
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, like you know, there's the crackers and the bread's

73
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 5: on top of it. Like then you get it, like

74
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 5: I never cleared the basket put new crackers in there.

75
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: You're part of the problem. Oh yeah, definitely part of

76
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 3: the problem.

77
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: I wish I could remember what else I'm looking up

78
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: what else was in kitchen Confidential? But okay, so you

79
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: guys worked Various people in here have worked at restaurants, Like, okay,

80
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: you worked at one. Yeah, maybe it's not unsanitary, but like,

81
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: what's something that goes on that we might be surprised

82
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: to know?

83
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: The only thing that goes on is that, you know,

84
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: if you ordered chicken pop pye from a certain restaurant,

85
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: it's the chicken from yesterday.

86
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: That's okay with me.

87
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty common. I know, like there's certain

88
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: faced food restaurants that the leftover beef that they yeah,

89
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: they jumped that up and they put in the chili.

90
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: Yep.

91
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: And if you get like a pooled chicken sand much

92
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: barbecue chicken sandwich, that chicken is shredded from the day before.

93
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: That's funny, big deal. It's the same thing as old bread.

94
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 3: No bro.

95
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: On your table, laughed all over my bread and.

96
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 3: Goes through the basket.

97
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 4: I don't know, I would say, like also like working

98
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 4: fast food restaurants, the the ice machines, the thing that

99
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 4: I don't think I don't know how much they're cleaned

100
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 4: at all, Like.

101
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, bugs and dust. I think the same

102
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: is true for those little spouts on the you know, you're.

103
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 4: Supposed to take them off and soak them overnight.

104
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: I used to do that every day and then scrub

105
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 3: it with a little brush morning. You Yeah, because it's

106
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: the same thing.

107
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 4: Like at a bar, how they put plastic all over

108
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 4: the things because fruit flies will get on the bottles.

109
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

110
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: I've watched a lot of bar rescue, as you know,

111
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: and uh, that seems to be one. Fruit flies seem

112
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: to be very common. Also, like in the alcohol bottles.

113
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: I guess they crawl in there because if they don't

114
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: put little those little like condoms on the top of

115
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: the thing.

116
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 3: You know, as long as I don't see it, it's

117
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 3: good for my Honestly, I feel the same way alcohol

118
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 3: to kill anything. Right, good point?

119
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: What? Okay? I was like googling as we do this.

00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,600

123
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 4: take them fries and put it back in the basket

124
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,279

Speaker 1: tell you when I make fun of her The other

140
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: thing is she will take and she loves me for

141
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: telling this story. She will take home a little tiny,

142
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: little itty bitty little bit of something like one little bite,

143
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: and then we get the whole container in the big

144
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: ass bag for this little bite that we don't wind

145
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: up eating half the time.

146
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 3: Ashley, good morning, How you doing.

147
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: I'm good, How are you very well?

148
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: So you're here to confirm that if you ask for

149
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: fresh fries, you may not get getting it really necessarily.

150
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, that's not happening.

151
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 5: I worked at McDonald's for four years and anytime someone

152
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 5: would come through and ask the fresh fries, especially in

153
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 5: the drive through.

154
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: Yep, they would just fill up enough or whatever fry

155
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: whatever size they wanted and throw it back into the

156
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: fryer and that's what they would get.

157
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 3: Okay, all right. Yeah.

158
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 4: The key to ask for fries with no salt, because

159
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,760
