while people do love dining out let's hear from the pros on what you should avoid here are the
10 worst foods to eat at a restaurant according to chefs cheap Kobe beef the good cheap stuff
Bay beef is known as one of the best cuts of beef that money can buy and for meat lovers
it's the absolute perfect main course but if the price seems too good to be true at a restaurant
it's probably for a good reason Kobe beef is not a cheap cut of meat so if a restaurant
is able to sell it for a low price it's likely not actually Kobe beef fake fake fake for those
not in the know Kobe beef is beef from a very specific line of cows from Japan this type of
beef is limited because of where it comes from and the fact that they can only raise so many
cows per year due to this fact this specific beef is not cheap for anyone to buy not even
restaurants therefore the price of real Kobe beef at a restaurant is higher any place that
can sell it at a discounted price is not truly serving you what you expect you're better off
paying the higher price to get the actual Kobe beef you want the specials our special today is
coho salmon sounds disgusting do you have chicken fingers the specials at a restaurant can be very
Hit or Miss you're either getting a fantastic dish that the restaurant and chefs really want
to highlight or you're getting whatever food is coming close to its expiry date which is
on special to try and get rid of it and at least make some sort of money rather than throwing it
away the other reason that you may not want to order the specials offered by the restaurant is
because they will often make it in large batches and pre-make it in anticipation of having people
order a lot of it that means it was made a while ago so you're probably not getting a fresh meal
and with the prices that some restaurants charge you would definitely expect to get something
freshly made specials also tend to be dishes that are the cheapest to make and marked up in price
the most meaning you're paying more for a dish that might otherwise be offered cheaper if it was
not on special we need the money if you don't mind taking a bit of a gamble on whether you're getting
fresh food or food near the end of its life the restaurant's specials are a good option other
wise you're better off ordering something off the menu that is made fresh and likely made
with fresher ingredients as well oysters have you ever had oysters oysters may be a tempting dish to
order for those who love seafood and shellfish but a lot of restaurants may not follow the quality
control steps that are required to make sure they'll not make anyone sick oysters are notorious
for their potential to make people very sick if they're not chipped stored or handled properly
they can even potentially kill you if they're in bad enough condition maybe next time Deshawn if
you're visiting a restaurant that specializes in seafood and shellfish you're likely safe ordering
oysters but if oysters are just a side option you're better off getting something else it's hard
to tell if oysters have gone off many people will not notice until feeling sick after eating them if
you're eating at a restaurant near a Seaside Cove where they can be harvested you're probably a bit
safer as it's likely that they come from those Waters and do not need to be transported far
this reduces the potential risk that they could have gone off while they were being transported
a good way to tell if you're likely getting quality oysters is to also look at the price
point the lower the price for the oysters the more likely you're going to get less quality
oysters which means your risk of illness increases from eating them as well new to babble top then

yes I eat the fish most Food suppliers and fish markets are closed over the weekend which means
a lot of restaurants will order their fish and seafood a few days before the weekend fish that
has been sitting for a while as we all know is not the best quality and may taste rubbery or
off if ordering fish on Monday restaurants will either have kept it in the freezer and defrosted
it which lowers the quality of the fish or it will have sat in the fridge for an extended
period of time having it sit in the fridge means that not only does it have a chance of going bad
without the kitchen staff noticing but it also means it could potentially have absorbed some
of the smells of the other items in the fridge which will alter The Taste and vice versa what
is that smell you smell that so if you're looking for some delicious fish it would probably be best
to do so in the middle of the week or near the end a good way to find out if you're truly eating
fresh fish is to find out what days the local fish market is open for business that way you know what
days restaurants are likely to get their fish deliveries and you can choose the best days to
go out for a nice seafood dinner salad bar Mitch did you just take a crouton from the Celica salad
bars are a good thing in Siri I mean who doesn't want to make their own salad and choose exactly
what they want to put in it not me obviously you would think that would be the perfect way
to enjoy a salad when at a restaurant but Jim might want to avoid the salad bar next time you
go out to eat unfortunately there's no real way for the restaurant to stop people from touching
food with their fingers and not actually taking the food they touch some people are rude enough
to use their hands to take food instead of using the provided utensils you also never know who may
have coughed or sneezed on the food which is a really gross thing to think about while dishing
up your salad while salad bars do have a glass or plastic guard to try and prevent exactly that from
happening it's not impossible for the germs to get around it and land on the food anyways you're
much better off just ordering a salad off the menu Where It's Made For You by the kitchen staff most
kitchens are happy to substitute out dressings or other minor ingredients in their menu salads as
long as the salad is not fully pre-made beforehand something you can make at home I can do it myself
the fun of a restaurant is getting to order things that you don't necessarily eat all the time to try
new things or meals that you're not used to making for yourself at home if the dish you order at the
restaurant is something you have the ingredients and capability to make yourself it sort of defeats
the purpose of going out in the first place it makes sense doesn't it at that point you
might as well have just saved yourself some time and money stayed home and made the dish yourself
have a dish on the menu is something you've often at home or something you could go home and make
yourself it's probably best to just avoid it and order something a little different than the usual
food is marked up in price at the restaurant as well it's how they make money in order to keep
their business open so it seems sort of pointless to order something at a restaurant and pay more
for it when you could have just cooked it at home on your own unless you have food allergies or a
certain diet which means you can only eat certain things at which point it's understandable that you
would order something you're used to eating aside from those with specific dietary needs
it's a lot more fun and a lot more worth your money to go to a restaurant and try something
that you're not making for yourself every week at home wedge salad do yourself a favor and join me
in a wedge salad wedge salads are based around a few wedges of iceberg lettuce these salads
often come with a hefty price markup and tend to be pretty basic for the price you're paying
not only that but it comes with a generic or store-bought dressing instead of something
freshly made or more unique if you're looking for a salad you're better off with one of the
other options served at the restaurant as you'll likely at least get something other than basic
lettuce with typical dressing iceberg lettuce is also known for being composed of mainly water 95
of it is water in fact meaning you will likely be left still hungry or will be hungry again shortly
after consuming this kind of salad unless you have a really small appetite as a side salad it's not
the worst thing to get but if you're ordering a wedge salad as your main dish you may want
to consider getting something else I'll never make that mistake again there are plenty of other salad
options out there or if you're simply looking for something that is no meat in it there are
also plenty of other vegetarian options served up at many restaurants all in all wedge salad is not
the best option when you're choosing to eat out somewhere instead of eating at home bread mixture
fat bread makes you fat bread is not always a good option when it comes to eating at a restaurant as
tempting as it is since the bread tends to smell and look great often though the bread is not what
you're expecting it can be a little stale or it just doesn't taste as good as you hoped
with free bread there's a good possibility that your served leftovers from someone else's table
which is something that a lot of customers might be fairly surprised to find out typically it's
assumed that any bread you're offered is fresh and brought directly to you and any bread you do
not finish has gotten rid of if someone does not eat all the bread when they're there it's often
piled together in a new dish and offered to the next customer meaning you could be eating bread
that had potentially been touched by someone else gross right guys you never know how many
people might have touched the bread on your table before you eat it which is just really disgusting
to think about on top of that you end up filling up on bread before your meal meaning when you get
around to getting your actual food you'll not be able to enjoy it as much because you're not nearly
as hungry whether the bread is free with your meal or something you ordered off the menu it's
probably a good option to avoid unless you really really like bread Hollandaise sauce can anyone
tell me the difference between a hollandaise and a bearnaise sauce Hollandaise sauce is popular
among breakfast enthusiasts and for good reason if done properly Hollandaise sauce is a fantastic
compliment to your eggs benedict and any other food that it might be added as a topping to as
well oftentimes this sauce is not made to order meaning it's made in large batches usually when
the restaurant first opens this means that it can sit for quite a while before it's kneaded and
served and it's been noted that because of its ingredients Hollandaise sauce tends to attract
bacteria quickly Hollandaise sauce is egg-based so having it sit for an extended period of time
increases the chance that it could go bad meaning you could enjoy your Hollandaise sauce while
you're eating it but it could potentially make you very sick after the fact avoiding Hollandaise
sauce while eating out is a good thing unless you know for sure that has been freshly made and not
sauce that has been sitting there for an extended period of time Hollandaise sauce is also a sauce
that is a little harder to get right if you're not used to making it so even if it is freshly
made it might not be what you're hoping for soup of the day what is the soup it's the soup of the
day that sounds good I'll have that the soup of the day is very similar to the restaurant specials
typically the soup of the day is chosen based on what ingredients they need to get rid of at the
time are you sneaky this is a restaurant trick employed by many establishments to move products
before stuff spoils however this is not the case for every single restaurant out there some of
them may genuinely just be offering soups that they think their customers will enjoy or custom
troops created by their chefs but a lot of them do use the soup of the day trick to
sell off older items quickly meaning you're ordering something and expecting a fresh and
hot soup but you might be getting a soup made from less than fresh ingredients ordering the
soup of the day can be okay if the price is right and you're not necessarily expecting
the highest of quality but if it's only soup for you then you're definitely better off ordering
a bowl off the menu while these soups are also made in fresh batches they're more likely going
to be made from fresh ingredients as they're not trying to push it out the door as quickly
as the soup of the day trust me when I say this tune in to more great videos just tap or click
