Striking statements and warnings from the restaurant manager: “I would never order these dishes from outside or from a restaurant.”
Social media user Julia Besz, a close friend of a restaurateur , issued stark warnings about restaurant food. "You can't tell it's spoiled, but you'll get sick 12 hours later," Besz said, adding that menu "specialties," shellfish, buffet chicken , and even iced drinks could pose serious health risks. The post, viewed by nearly 400,000 people, highlights what to consider when choosing a restaurant meal.
Besz noted that while the "specials" section, often found at the beginning of a restaurant menu, may seem innocent, it can be risky. "These dishes are often heavily sauced and spicy," he said. "This distracts you, making it harder to spot older items. Furthermore, these dishes are among the most expensive options on the menu."
Besz also issued strong warnings about seafood restaurants, emphasizing the risk of shellfish in particular. "In restaurants not located on the seashore, if you don't know whether the products are fresh or cold storage conditions, you're putting your health at risk. A seafood storage error is like a ticking time bomb for food poisoning ," he added.
Besz also emphasized the need for caution at buffets, advising people to avoid chicken products in particular. "Chicken is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. If the temperature of food isn't adjusted correctly in busy restaurants or pots aren't checked regularly, there's a significant risk," he said.
Besz stated that the spoilage of such products may not be apparent from the appearance, but can cause serious health problems 12 hours after consumption.
Besz also warned about the ice used in cold drinks, saying, "Ice machines are often not cleaned properly. Consuming an iced drink in such places is like drinking from a cold petri dish." He added that restaurants do not pay enough attention to hygiene.
These warnings, shared by Julia Besz, highlight the need for increased caution when choosing food at restaurants. Consumers are advised to be particularly cautious about specialty dishes, shellfish, buffet chicken items, and iced drinks.
