saw chef use same knife and spatula on raw chicken to serve my cooked food Got this on Saturday night. Chef used same knife on raw chicken to cut cooked steak; repeatedly used same spatula to touch raw chicken and serve cooked foods from the grill. I was up on Sunday morning early with diarrhea and last night (Sunday) I developed gastritis and was so nauseated, bloated, flatulent and crampy with body aches. There’s a constant burning feeling in my stomach. It’s Monday morning and I’m still in pain. I barely slept last night or Saturday night for all of the pain. I feel so sick. I’ve had gastritis from food poisoning before and this is the same feeling. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Body Ache, Gas, Cramps, Bloating, Flatulence

Why would you eat the food after seeing this…?

I am OP and I honestly don’t appreciate the tone of this. I already feel stupid enough as it is. I very nearly did not make a claim on here because I was embarrassed. If you really most know why, when my brain finally connected the dots as to what I had just witnessed I had already eaten some of the food. I brought it up with the people I went out to eat with and they all assured me it was fine and that the temp of the food was enough to kill salmonella on contact. They all said that when he set his spatula down on or near the grill the heat from the cooktop would be enough to kill it, that the food was too hot for salmonella to survive, and that all hibachi does it this way so not to worry. I guess I figured that if this is the way it’s done then it must be okay, must be too hot of a process for anything to survive if it’s still steaming once it’s on the plate. After all the griddle is hot enough to cook the food in front of you within like, a couple minutes, and you can feel the heat of it from where you’re sitting. Well four days later and I’m still screwed up. Every night I’m retching and my stomach is still on fire all of the time.
OP - I agree with you 100%. Do NOT feel embarrassed. When you are out for dinner there can be a lot of distractions, and some things are not obviously harmful. So sorry to hear what happened, and sorry it's lasting so long 😞
