Arby's...We have the meats

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!:D:cool:
Sorry for the rant and drift.

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.
 
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.

The cockroaches in Southeast Asia are much more acrobatic. A chicken on a rotisserie is not much of a challenge. :D
 
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".

Back when my son was a teenage he had a summer job with my brother in law's roofing company. One morning my son's truck wouldn't start so I picked him up and took him to work in my cruiser. They were roofing a large church and when I pulled up his whole crew slid down the ladders and ran into the woods. My BIL told me to call him if he ever needed a ride again and he would come get him. It took him a few hours to get them back on the job.
 
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!

The other part is it has nothing to do with the general reputation of the restaurant, nor the price for the meal.
 
On occasion I will will order a Super and a large fry. I will make a slurry of Arby's Sauce and Horsey Sauce to dip my fries in.

To quote Vincent Vega "Tastes good".
 
There was a Chinese restaurant in Syracuse probably 30 years ago. They got written up, during an inspection, for having dead cats in the freezer. They assured the inspectors that these were for personal consumption, not food for restaurant customers.
 
Fast food once every few years (if that often) is plenty. Foul backroom conditions from one such place to another are probably quite similar.

Butcher shops are not allowed to do both farm animals and wild animals like deer in the same facility. I would think that law or something close to it covers restaurants.
