Ordered take out tonight, get it home and just as I'm about to take a bite into mine, my wife screams as I see a dead roach in her food. I called the place, they fully refunded our meal, and all I asked for was a total refund. They offered to replace the food, but I was so disgusted I couldn't even bring myself to eat anything else from that kitchen.
I brought the food back to the restaurant, with the roach laden food in a ziploc bag. The woman was a little grossed out, but wasn't overly apologetic....

It was in the New Orleans area.....I'm not going to advertise it like that. I was just at a loss as to what proper compensation for such an event is. I think after returning the food and not wanting more they should have at least comped me a future meal if I so chose.
Though I'm honestly leery if I ever want to return.

I went to a Subway one time and there was a baby roach crawling in the cookie case.

Depends on how hungry I am. If very hungry, I would probably just take the roach out and nuke the meal for about 2 minutes and then eat it. If not very hungry, I would probably do what you did and bring the food back for a refund. After that I would suggest to them that they fumigate the restaurant. And I probably wouldn't eat there for about six months or until the memory of the incident fades.

Just be grateful that they didn't charge you extra.

Then why would you want a future meal from there? Lesson should have been learned. Added chicken...$3.99, shrimp...$4.99, roach in food...priceless. There are some things money can't buy.

I'm not saying it is viral yet, but I just saw a post on Facebook with a picture that matches this story...

Before you guys get too upset,

Better check to see if the roach was within FDA limits for insect content

don't believe me? Check out allowable fruit fly content in Golden Raisins.

Raisins, Golden

Insects and insect eggs
(AOAC 969.42 & MPM-V76)

10 or more whole or equivalent insects and 35 Drosophila eggs per 8 oz.




Actually, they should have reworked the meal by cutting away part of the roach, removing it and handing you the remainder back. Then as you stared blankly at the waiter, he would (in Chinese) say

"Crazy round eyed guy complains for receiving extra meat in fried rice!"
