Sick! Chinese Restaurant Cited For Garlic Stomping
Nanuet Worker Photographed Wallowing In Bowl Of Garlic With His Shoes On
(CBS) NANUET, N.Y. A Rockland County Chinese food restaurant is in hot water after it was discovered that an employee apparently used a suspicious and far-from-delicious method to crush the garlic used in the kitchen.
An official from the county's Department of Health tells CBS 2 that the Great China Buffet in Nanuet was investigated after there it received a complaint that the garlic there is not only saut?d and steamed, but allegedly stomped.
Literally.
John Stoughton, the senior public health sanitarian, showed CBS 2 a picture of a worker from the restaurant standing and stomping in a large bowl of garlic -- with his shoes on.
"He is actually doing this. And there are garlic pieces laying around," Stoughton says. "We don't really approve of someone using their shoes to crush the food with."
The photograph was taken by Dan Barreto, who works at the AT&T store right next to the restaurant. He says he witnessed the alleged garlic parade in the alley behind the restaurant.
"He was jumping up and down on it at first, and then when I got my camera he was just doing one foot and mashing it," Barreto tells CBS 2.
At the restaurant Tuesday, an employee told CBS 2 the man in the picture had been fired. They reportedly claim the food cooked with the ghastly garlic was thrown out and was never served to customers.
The restaurant has been cited with two violations and a warning for a first offense, but if it happens again, the Health Department could really put its foot down -- figuratively speaking, of course -- imposing $1,000 fines per violation.
Left unreported was the IMMIGRATION STATUS of the “fired employee”...
Am I the only one to notice the rapid turnover of ETHNIC waiters, waitresses, cooks, bus boys, etc, etc.....at local Chinese and Mexican restaurants?
Still using their “old country” techniques for food preparation......
All cultures are equal.
Diversity is our strength..
Multi-culturalism adds color to the fabric of our society....
Bull squat.
Ever witness kimchi being prepared?
I heard there weren’t too many cats in that neighborhood.
I would hope he had his shoes on. It would be gross had he been barefoot.

Well, okaaaaay.....
They have it all wrong!
This guy was simply gently crushing the outer husks of the garlic to release the juice and bring it in contact with the yeast, causing the fermentation process to begin.
The resulting garlic wine offers a subtle bouquet and flavor that compliments courses such as pickled tripe, feline chitterlings and roasted rattus norvegicus.
So what's the problem? It's not like he was barefoot.

I'm not sure if you are bad for posting that or I'm bad for visualizing the donut making, but in either case, it's going to be hard to get all semi chewed chex party mix off my keyboard and screen.
I can’t believe I posted that.
I can't believe I visualized Bill Clinton making the donut holes.
Waiter, my cat fillet tastes like old shoes...
I can’t believe it was removed.
Here is a picture of my handy dandy garlic keeper - guaranteed to keep away vampires.
My request.
Depending on the condition of his feet, boots may be better.
