Think Before You Eat: 10 Restaurant Secrets

Before you dine out, MoneyCentral has some interesting pointers about what might be lurking in your next meal.

“A lot of poor, transient people work in restaurants,” says Peter Francis, a co-author of industry exposé “How to Burn Down the House.” “They’re not giving up the $100 they’d make in a shift because they’re sick.”

How can you protect yourself? Check inspection results, which are often posted online by local departments of public health. Or just visit the restroom; it “tells you everything you need to know about a restaurant,” Francis says.

I work at my mom’s place, and she has told me all about how other places do it. She runs a clean, healthy shop, though, so if you’re ever out around Fort Worth/Dallas, try the Rock House off in Aledo (the website is outdated and we don’t own the rights to it, unfortunately, though).

She cut the butter out of most of her foods whenever and however she could but still gets compliments on the food. She killed the practice of putting bacon grease into soups, and nearly everything is pretty healthy there except dessert, but then again how could it be? Also, she keeps the place religiously clean, requiring a sweeping whenever customers aren’t demanding too much attention and a room is clear of them (we have two, since it’s a small place) and daily the floor is cleaned and mopped with some disinfectant, as well. Anyway, not all restaurants are liable to do the stuff listed, but most operations are, especially when employees rather than owners run the shop.

I agree with you Alan.

It is in every business. If the owner runs the practice, it tends to be much much better than if he just hires employees to do all the work.

But then there are some owners who dun give a damn about havin a clean place, all they need is business, so they just dont care.
