I'm weird about food, I admit, but I want to be able to figure out what is in my dish - I love a lot of oriental flavors, but won't go someplace that is older or dingy looking. Even around here there is a texmex place everyone raves about but it's been in the same location for 50 years so all I can envision is 50 years of crap dropping and rats/bugs accumulating...... I couldn't eat there if you forced me! lol

I also don't like to eat at potluck type of deals because I don't trust that most people are clean - I know I am, and know I wash my hands a lot while preparing a meal - can't trust other weirdos though... ;^)

If it’s been there for 50 years and all the customers haven’t dropped dead by now, chances are they know what they’re doing.

well that was ti’s point about the italian places in her neck of the wood and honest to God i know the chinese places lack hygiene. that is one of the best parts of PFchangs is that it is so clean and high quality. so authentic chinese cooked outside where someone is urinating may be the MOST authentic, doesn’t mean i want to eat it. and i found out that the place i LOVED that went out of business, Hunan Champion near our old house, the old guy would be outside with pots and there were people urinating the health dept had to be called to fumigate the place once they went out. i know this bc my frame shop is right next door and after it was gone, they told me all of this. i was horrified.
