Soylent Green anyone ? All sorts of stories about what went into the sausage in Mob controlled establishments-cf. the scenes in Sattriales in The Sopranos.

May be a response to a comment I made when entering an Arby's one evening and I was told, "Sorry, we're out of roast beef".
I told them, "That's like KFC being 'out of chicken'!?"
Don't guess their manager was a candidate for 'employee of the month' . . .

Perhaps an enterprising soul was preparing a back-up plan . . . .

Once I walked into the Raton, NM KFC and their Greasetrap was stopped up and backing up.
It was several years before I could actually go into another KFC!

Unfornituely as a piping apprentice I learned way too much about grease traps. I realy do not like KFC that much but basically any restaurant grease trap is nauseating.

And here I avoided the Dairy Queen in a small town I used to live in just because the owner also owned the local septic pumping business.

35 yrs ago I remodeled 3 rundown restaurants in a row for a new owner. I didn’t eat out for several years after that lol

We don't eat out much. But where we do, I've been in both places kitchens. Spotless.

I've been in others....

I use to work for a Texas construction company that built hundreds of chain store restaurants per year like Pizza Huts, KFC, Grandy's, Taco Bell, etc. We did remodeling on a lot of Church's Chicken in the South East and I remember one of our construction superintendents said the sight and smell of blood was so bad he said he would never eat chicken again.

THAT explains the mystery meat Arby’s calls roast beef!

Morgue overflow?

P.S. Or maybe not -I didn't read the article.

I’d definitely avoid the sausage sandwich.

Back in the day when I was an OTR truck driver was sent many times to chicken processing plants to pick up loads of frozen chicken. You could pick up that awful smell a 1/2 mile down the road. Was years before I could eat chicken again. Oddly enough I never had the same problem when picking up beer loads from Anheuser-Busch or Miller.

I was in restaurants for years, and that stench will run you right out of the building!

Well, i kint help it but i LOVE KFC orignal !

I’m going to hold off buying Arby’s beef ‘n’ cheddar until they do a nation-wide DNA check of all the meat slicer particles.

If you worked in a fast foot place in College, bless you. I'll hire you now.

If you work in a fast food place now, and AREN'T in college, shame on you. You should go back to school and get an education.

If you EVER worked in a fast food place, you know what it's all about.

As a side note, I once was in the backyard of the owner of a Chinese restaurant. It had a HIGH security fence and the yard was filled with DOZENS of steel cages, each filled with cat.

Meow.

I'll eat at Arby's any day, but if you eat Chinese, I have no sympathy for you.

And on a second note, a recent deer collision was reported to the police. They saw the blood and traced the trail to a local Chinese restaurant. It was after hours, but in the back they were cutting up and packaging the carcass.

You can't make this up. It was on the 6:00 news.

From the omniscient ether:

"In December 2018, the Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prohibition Act of 2018 was signed into federal law, making the consumption of cat meat illegal and punishable by a fine of $5,000, except as part of Native American religious ceremonies. Previous to that bill, consuming cat meat was legal in 44 states."

Some mountain men were known to prefer mountain lion to elk. If cattle could purr I wonder if beef would be so popular?

When I was in HS the DNR would bring road killed deer and carcasses seized from poachers to the cafeteria. After I graduated and got my first LE job we could award a carcass permit to motorists who hit a deer. If they didn't want it they could sign it over to us. (Nobody was ever cited for hitting a deer in any event, so no preferential treatment resulted). Don't knock roadkill. It's an excellent source of lean protein.

Here in MA the shotgun deer season opens on the Monday after Thanksgiving. Our crew would get together for a hunter's dinner on Saturday night prior to the season, and there would always be lots of venison brought by guys who had scored during archery season the previous weeks. One year they all got skunked, and we were getting ready to grill burgers when the scanner reported a car hitting a deer a half-mile away. The guys flew out of the driveway and soon returned with venison. It was delicious. And soon the scanner buzzed with the patrol officer asking dispatch to confirm the location of the accident.

I did mall security many years ago.
Food court backhalls were something out of a horror movie. One eatery had a very large rat that came out at night...he was NOT scared of people!

One large rat ran across the food court one lunch time and one of the other guards yelled out :STOP IT! LUNCH IS GETTING AWAY! (No, it WASN'T me)

Mall management failed to see the humor.

I am VERY leery of chicken establishments after what I saw in those food courts then.

In Alaska when I was there, all roadkill moose was served up to the jail inmates. I don't recall any protests about prison food.

I was “jonesing” for some Arby’s curly fries earlier this week. I stopped by an Arby’s to satisfy my craving. I ordered a large order, and they cost almost 4 dollars! I was shocked. I mean, because of the shape of curly fries, they don’t fit perfectly in their container, so you don’t get very much product. A potato is extremely cheap, even now! Those curly fries are an extremely profitable item…….extremely tasty too!
Sorry for the rant and drift.

Many years ago, I was the payroll bookkeeper for a food service wholesaler (condiments and such). The boss said "Never order any of their sandwiches or salads with mayo, thousand island, or other condiments". I haven't since, and don't miss them. I dress my own cooking with dry spices, and never touch anything else. I order any and all fast food "plain".

Ya know, it’s an Arby’s. For cheap drive thru, they were near the top of my infrequent fast culinary fude list. (Note: I didn’t say the word that means what we consume.) I worked at a privately owned fast food joint in High School, but human bodies were usually removed from the freezer before the morning crew came in. And the meats were hot dogs, burger, and fish rectangles. So, the ground meat was not processed into burgers from outside distributors, but it was ground somewhere else, so I guess the bodies that weren’t in our freezers were just stored there, IF there were any. Someone missed a pickup that day they all of a sudden decided to look in the freezer at late afternoon shift change. I got nuttin.

Oh, yeah. I worked a good 35 years doing commercial refrigeration. Sometimes I got sent into some small to large restaurants to work on their equipment. On a tile floor, when you drop a wrench it should say clink, not clunk and stick. Early in the morning, not later when it has a reason to be sticky. High end or neighborhood joints, they are mostly filthy in the kitchen.
Mother’s Day is in a couple days. I’ll cook for her here. With food from Hu No Ware.

(Does that mean that post 2018, if you partake of cat whilst attending a Native American religious ceremony, while technically illegal to swallow, if you do you don't have to pay the $5K fine?)

Finding the stiff at 1830 has my puzzler puzzed. Was he packed in there during the lunch rush?
As far as some of the anecdotes above, y'all haven't lived until you've happy footed atop an in use Chinese restaurant griddle while swapping grease filters inside the hood. Swore off Chinese food for a while but I'm back to old habits.

I worked on a small PD during college. On Sundays there were only two of us on duty.
Being the junior officer, I always wound up dispatching. Every Sunday the owner of the local Chinese restaurant would call and ask if the dog catcher would meet him at the pound.
He would take any and all of the dogs scheduled to be euthanized the next week.
He didn’t have any dogs at home.
Safe to say 60 years later, I don’t eat Chinese.��

Not far from where I live there is a large Tyson production plant. I had never driven past it until day I drove by it to just to look. Never again. The plant is about 300 yards from the road but the smell is so bad I broke the speed limit big time to get passed.

Hmmm . . . frozen will make determining day/time of death difficult.

I've still got it made.

I’ve been in a lot of restaurant kitchens over the years, usually because I was arresting one of the staff. One of my favorites was a Burger King where one of the cooks, not the guy we were there for, went and hid in the freezer when we arrived. He was still in the freezer when we left. Maybe he moved on to work for Arby’s.

My cousin owns a couple of restaurants. He took me and my Dad on a tour of his first restaurant and when we walked into the kitchen several of his staff bolted for the door. Dad broke up laughing, my cousin had to spend several minutes coaxing the staff back using phrases like “No policia”, “no imigaracion” and “amigo”. I didn’t get offered a tour of the next restaurant.

Last year our local Chinese restaurant was caught taking meat out of the dumpster behind the butcher shop a few doors down from them. They cheerfully admitted to using the dumpster for months as their main source of meat. Fortunately I don’t eat Chinese food.

When someone asks me why I don’t eat I Chinese food I always tell them “I don’t like cats”.

Every now and then I have to break it to the wife, that we’re not going back to her latest favorite restaurant. She always asks why, then realizes I just was there for a service call in their kitchen, Don’t ask why, I tell her. But she always asks anyway!

When I first saw the Storey I figured it would show up here. My bet was on Cajun lawyer as the first post. Correct but with no comment,,,,, Gun shy I guess.

What was the body ( the Body of Evidence ) ? Human, Dog, Pig, Cat, Horse, Cow, Deer, alien ????

"Hey, where's the BEEF?"

Thanks to Caj, and all the rest of you nuts. I am in tears from reading these posts. I am reminded of why I used to spend so much time in the Lounge. I will try to be a regular once again.

Back in February my grand son and I planted $20.00 worth of seed potatoes. I'm guessing we're gonna dig about 800 to 1000 pounds in few days. At a buck or two a pound I think we're going to do OK. If you ever eat fresh dug taters you won't want any other kind.

I still get excited when my regular Arby's fries contain a stray curly one.

Just like Cracker Jack.

Mountain lion meat is great. Tastes like chicken. Love elk too.

KFC used to make rotisserie chicken. It was fairly safe to eat because the roaches couldn't hang on to the chicken bodies as they spun around on the rotisserie.
