Mexican food anyone?

What I found surprising was NOT the health score of 13 (forcing this place to close among other things) but this interesting statement in the article:

The manager also said he believes they got a low score because they weren't aware of the state's new foodservice code.

Does that mean that prior to Georgia's "new" foodservice code this place was allowed to stay open?

Here's the article:

13 thats fucking outragous! I bet storing the raw out of temp chicken over the veggies gave them a great salmonella flavor! How in the hell would you not know you had to keep food in the correct temp? Good luck opening that place ever again.

I can't take credit for the originality but one blogger noted "who would've thought that their turducken had real turds in it".

The place was just trying to be authentic. Obviously, these guys have never enjoyed a feast down in Tijuana...

I worked in a lot of restaurants growing up. If you evar see a score less than 95, you should move on.

Some of the stuff that goes on in the kitchen would make you gag.

Honestly though, you have all eaten stuff that would make you want to cut off your tongue. You survived, so it couldn't be that bad.

I don't think this was an example of "not knowing". This was an "I don't give a shit" example. I hope the bulldoze that joint.

Just now catching up. Thank god I've never eaten there, nor heard of the place. I try to frequent the Mexican joints that slaughter the dogs out back, so I know the food is at its freshest.

Thrilla, I had thought that you worked in Gwinnett County which is why I singled you out at the end of my post. My company has two shops in Lithonia where I work most of the week...there are some places around there that I am sure are not much better than this joint...of course that is DeKalb County...

I work in Suwanee and live in Decatur (Georgia, not Alabama!) Effective April 1st, I will be working and living in Decatur. No more commuting for this guy!

Friday. Work is now 4 miles from the house instead of 25. Commuting, be damned! I'll never deal with traffic again, unless there's a large raise involved. I'm with the same business, in the same position, though. But I'll save a shit-ton in gas, and the timing there couldn't be better.

Saniflush · « **Reply #14 on:** March 11, 2008, 03:24:26 PM »

Congrats. I have about a four mile commute as well. Can't be beat!

Especially now that my wife is 12 weeks pregnant with our first child. Now she can't get pissed at me for working late when I'm so close. However, working late then driving 40 minutes home...not cool with the pregnant psycho-bitch.

But it was cool when the psycho-bitch wasn't pregnant?

You shouldn't have given her a dose of dick poisoning.

A dogs gotta eat. Didn't expect the boys to swim so well after such a long history of recreational drug usage. Farmer John can't even plant seeds better than I can.

Congrats on the first child and the closer job!
