Today Bad chicken I sent the chicken quesadilla back and notified the serve that the chicken was bad, shortly after leaving the restaurant I got really sick. I just called the GM and told him and the guy talks to me, the customer, like I am wrong... See More because nobody else got sick and I don’t know what I’m talking about and only if somebody else complains about the chicken will he do anything to help me. I have cooked in restaurants many years and I know exactly what i am talking about. I have a current food handlers permit and there are numerous things that could have happened to that particular chicken before it made it to my table. Cross contamination, leaving it out too long. He could have had an extra chicken from a previous order, set that pot piece aside, and put it back on the grill a few mins when my order came in. He could have set it as In a save the day that he also used fish, he could have dropped that piece of chicken on the floor. How can you tell me that the only way I could have gotten sick was if the entire container of chicken the cook was serving from was contaminated and a bunch of other people get sick too. I’ve worked in this industry for many years and I know without a reasonable doubt that they served me improperly handled chicken and I got really sick from it. | Symptoms: Other, Vomiting, Nausea, Diarrhea See Less
