Buffet Worker Stomps Garlic With Boots

(NANUET, N.Y.) - Stomping on garlic with your shoes on is apparently not the correct way to prepare food. The Rockland County health department hit the Great China Buffet restaurant with two violations after someone took pictures of an employee stomping on a bowl of garlic with his boots in an alley. The man alerted health inspectors.

"I go back there, and the guy's stepping on garlic," said Dan Barreto, who used to eat at the restaurant. "There he was just jumping up and down on it, smashing it up, having a good time."

The health department does not consider a person's shoe or boot a proper instrument to use in food preparation, senior public health sanitarian John Stoughton said Tuesday.

"It was a novel way to prepare food," he acknowledged.

Great China Buffet owner Jiang Shu said the worker has been fired over the incident.

The health department said it would inspect the restaurant again.

I had a friend who lived in Nanuet near this restaurant. Her cats kept mysteriously disappearing...

I was on the flight on Sunday and the flight attendant used her bare hand to scoop ice in my cup. I figured had I met her in bar, I probably would have made out with her, so I didn’t complain.

I was in Taipei earlier this summer, I think here in the US, we expect 100% safety.

European wines are out, too, I suppose.

News alert!!! You’ve seen nothing yet. Where do you think most of our food comes from now? Remember that substance in dog food that made so many of man’s best friends ill? They have to put it in something - maybe pasta??? Best answer - but you’re not going to like it - shop at the farmer’s market, your local butcher that you know personally, and that dreadful phrase - COOK AT HOME!

They should purchase garlic already minced. It is sold in jars at the grocery store.
