Never eat at a place that has teenaged guys working in the kitchen. Just don't. Seriously.

Haseltine, I once worked in a smalltown kitchen in France with two 17 year old boys. Two of the most skilled kitchen assistants I ever met.

Monnie,

I love your avatar, and I think that is the place Haseltine was referring to.

#13 They come in a big box, get taken out and cut, but are never rinsed off. There are ALWAYS a couple moldy ones in there, and those get tossed, but that's it.
If you want the lemon, make sure it comes on the rim of the glass. Squeeze in the juice, don't put the whole thing in your drink.
I've worked in dives and fancy steakhouses, and it's always the same. Lemons for water are never rinsed off.

Libby,

yeah, kitchen food is fine but drink lemons are cut by servers that just want to get their station prep done as quick as possible

cmon, its always a risk eating outside....

"If your server’s response to 'How is the [item]?' seems disingenuous, that’s a big red flag. They know what goes on in the kitchen, they know the complaints, and they know which items to stress over when they deliver them."
