Did they have a choice of Mountain Dew or Crab Juice to wash it down?

likelyculprit		2007-07-12 02:51:47 PM

Damn, if I'd been present then I would have definitely gotten sick. I love me some Persian food.

Now I don't feel so bad about not going this year.

I see what you did there.

They no like the sauce?

GQueue		2007-07-12 06:35:20 PM

Actually, it's over 100 now according to the Chicago Tribune.

phlegmmo		2007-07-12 06:37:13 PM

Vomiting? The taste of Chicago, indeed.

Free Sal Monella!

Are you sure it wasn't from the wall to wall mob of hot sticky smelly people in July? I avoid those things like the plague.

/not anti-social.

loraxxarol		2007-07-12 06:39:31 PM

We had a coworker who didn't show up for work for two days, didn't call, and didn't email. His mom (emergency contact) said he was very sick, possibly going to the hospital. When I saw him walking down the street on day 2, TOWARD the Taste, in what appeared to be very good health, I didn't know what to think.

Now I know what had happened to him. He at the hummus.

drharmful		2007-07-12 06:39:50 PM

Sal Monella? Sounds like a plummer.

"Max Pars, owner of the restaurant connected with the booth, said he didn't know how such contamination could have happened."

Which is probably why you're not qualified to run a clean establishment. See understanding how something can get contaminated is very useful in preventing contamination.

T.M.S.		2007-07-12 06:42:44 PM

Yeah but was it tasty?

JerkyMeat		2007-07-12 06:44:25 PM

Hummus in Hummus out.

It had tastiness.

Subby owes Bob & Tom a dollar.

studebaker hoch		2007-07-12 06:46:33 PM

More like "Taste of a poorly cleaned Middle Eastern butt crack".

/would you like something to drink with that?

bubbaprog		2007-07-12 06:47:48 PM

I've been to Taste of Chicago -- heck, I was there for the Fark party back in '04 -- and I wonder how this doesn't happen more often, what with all the people and all the heat.

Digamus		2007-07-12 06:47:51 PM

Subby: At least 17...

We're quickly approaching 200 now...

I just ate Falafel at a greasy dive Gyro shop on the corner in DT Seattle, so i'm really getting the shiats out of these replies...

MerlinX		2007-07-12 06:54:36 PM

The 17 people all ate at the Pars Cove Persian Cuisine booth, which served cucumber salad over hummus, grilled lamb and beef, pomegranate barbecued chicken and baklava.

Quick call Dubya...We got us some terrists....

SuperDuper28		2007-07-12 06:55:26 PM

I guess the restaurant didn't get the publicity they were hoping for.

You know, Pars Cove is actually a kick-ass restaurant. I've been eating there for about 7 years and have never even heard any complaints.

otto the bull		2007-07-12 06:57:24 PM

Shiat on a Stick!

Yum!!

It sure kicked their asses.

I'm going to The Bite of Seattle later this month.

I'm investigating a Salmonella outbreak, and I'm only mildly amused by these replies. C'mon Farkers, I need some funny. I just spent most of my work day trying to get my data to do something useful.

/we had just as many cases, but you don't see us getting any publicity
//me is feeling woefully neglected
///hug me? :(

Say goodbye to that business. Doubt a small place like that can recover from this.

mrEdude		2007-07-12 07:16:50 PM

WAIT A MINNIT

AREN'T THOSE ALL MIDDLE EASTERN FOODS???

AAAAUUUUGHHHHHHH

GASTRONOMIC 9/11!!!!

Arthur Jumbles		2007-07-12 07:18:32 PM

Pars Cove really is a great place. However, I'm really surprised that this is the first time anyone has ever come done with food poisoning at the Taste. How is that even possible? I love the Taste but damn..... we are hardly talking about sterile conditions here.

Homunculus Eye		2007-07-12 07:19:16 PM

I hate to say it but........

This douchenozzle probably used the same containers to hold the cooked items as he used to marinate the raw items. Without a proper sanitizing washout, he's asking to have every customer spraypaint the town in the backwards fashion.

In the industry, preventing problems is the obvious optimum. BUT....if you can not figure out how the problem happened, you really are a retard. Then you are just asking to have it happen over and over and over..........

I'm curious what his main establishment looks like, and smells like.
