I agree.  The other thing that bothers me is when they pick up items with their bare hands and put it on the plate, even salad greens.  Yes I eat out occasionally.  I just don't think about what goes on in the kitchen when I do. 


@scotnovel,The Health Department division that gives resturants their rateing and the sheet that shows their grade doesn't allow bare hands or rings.

 

The standards are very strict.

I agree the standards are strict but most restaurants in this country are only checked a couple of times a year at the most.  I see reports on the local news and online all the time about restaurants who have failing or low scores because they do not follow those strict standards.  Sure most correct those violations, but how many months are those violations going on before someone rates them?

I agree.  Not only is it distracting, but doesn't look very appetizing.  On a lighter note, it actually makes me laugh on some of the home improvement shows on HGTV where they are decked out in nice clothing and tons of jewelry and are doing something like laying tile.  Or, painting.  Or, cutting wood on a table saw.  LOL  Ridiculous!

I have a feeling that a lot of people in this forum do not eat out much...


@Mothertrucker

 

I have had that thought also on some threads.  I love to cook but even more I love it eat out at and try new flavors at a good restaurant with an interesting menu!
