Chili con Fingers
Recently, while dining at one of my favorite restaurants, I found a wire inside my grilled chicken sandwich. Apparently it was from the wire brush they use to clean the grills. Ewww. Needless to say, I didn't finish the sandwich ... but I have been back to the restaurant.
Last night, my friend Terry tried to gross me out by emailing me an article about a woman who found a human finger in the bowl of Wendy's chili she was eating at the time. Coincidentally, he was enjoying a bowl of Wendy's chili himself when he came across the story.
I asked him, "Did you eat the rest of your chili?"
"Well, yeah," he replied. I laughed so hard I think I let out a little pee.
But this just makes me wonder that if there are fingers floating around in Wendy's chili what else can be found in our favorite fast food?
A lot, according to a recent MSNBC piece called "Dirty Dining."
This really shouldn't come as a surprise though. I mean, all you have to do is step inside a Taco Bell and you can tell that hygene isn't a top 10 priority to most of the workers there so why should they care if there's a little booger in your Fiesta Taco Salad?
Maybe this goes back to what I was saying about buffets a few posts back... if it's fast and cheap, we will eat anything.
Oh well. I'm hungry ... could you please pass the fingers?
