re: Great Wall off college

How is your tolerence for MSG? Feline allergies? Would going into a coma after lunch cause concerns at your place of employment? If the answer to all of these is no, then by all means, tie on the feedbag.

Yeah. If they didn't buy from him, stiffed him on payment, were rude to him, cancelled a contract, etc, etc, etc.


There are ALWAYS reasons people start stupid rumors like this.

Guy was a friend, not just some random person I heard this from, love how people will always run to defend something on here that they have no idea is true or not.

Personally, I didn't want to eat there and take the chance of it being true, its not like the food is great and im missing out on anything.

ok god.

The Reveille did a front page story on health violations by restaraunts in BR a few years back. The two that stick out in my mind were reports of Maggots in the food at Great Wall and someone reported blood in their Taco Bell across the street.

This is a stretch. Flies entering through open doors four years ago. Really?

I love how some people rely on their friends info like God himself handed it down. I have many friends as well. And you know what? They have been wrong before, and they will be wrong again. Can you introduce me to some people who are never wrong so I can trust their opinions, stories and info like it's gospel? That would be cool.

To each his own, brah. But know this, assuming you have eaten 1.5 meals a week in restaurants, guessing your age of 40 and that you've been eating in restaurants since you were 5, that's a total of 2,730 meals in restaurants in your lifetime. Figuring that 1% of those restaurants had sanitation issues (1% is an absolutely STAGGERINGLY low percentage compared to reality, but I'm just trying to illustrate a point), you've eaten 273 contaminated meals in your life and you are NOT dead!!!!

Not to mention, human beings have been eating in "restaurants" and "houses" for approximately the last 2,000 years. How in the HELL did humans eat food for the previous 498,000 years (depending on who you ask) of our existence without sterilizing and sanitizing their hands, rock tables, leaf cups and fur salt shakers!?!??!


Food alarmists intrigue me.

Caveat: I am not suggesting we dismantle the food service cleanliness sector an allow anyone to sell anything in any manner they choose. I'm simply suggesting that no matter how often you spray, clean, sanitize, replace, splash the entire kitchen in bleach, there will always, always, ALWAYS be at least A bug in the kitchen of SOME restaurant at which you eat. And when one person sees a single bug, by the time that story gets two or three people deep, it has turned into "I saw a bazzilion roaches eating a baby's flesh at (blank) restaurant". I'm simply saying that we all need to use our brains a little bit when these stories come out.

If I hear about several people ACTUALLY getting sick from eating at (blank) restaurant from a credible PUBLIC news source, fine, I'll avoid the place until the food safety folks report on what happened and what measures were used to fix the issues. But forgive me if I don't participate in peoples conspiracy theories about restaurant A versus restaurant B's bug population reported in a news paper which only makes money by reporting controversial or sensational "news".

Bugs follow food. It's been happening for millions of years and it's going to continue for millions of years. Relax. Grasshopper poboys are the shizzle, yo.
