Snakes on a plate
According a post on Consumerist, a snakehead -- yep, literally the head of a snake -- found itself onto a plate "at a T.G.I.F. in the Capital Region of New York" in a side order of vegetables. Grainy monster photo included. There's no mention of the specific location and there's no response from Friday's, so who knows about the veracity of this story. At any rate, this is why you should always get the fries.

No one cares about snakes. This blog used to be good, now it is unreadable with all this snake crap.

I worked at TGIF's in Styvesant plaza for a while in college (2000-2001), and I'm here to report that the servers always just scooped the salads together with their hands. Literally from the salad station in the kitchen right onto your dinner plate. No tongs. No gloves. I used to think that was bad. But THIS is just over the top disgusting.

@lk: you are terrified of a dead boiled snake head? :)
Very nice food photography on your blog BTW, I didn't know this one. Please keep eating.

@S: yes, I am terrified at a boil snake head!! I'm pretty sure if I saw that on my plate I would scream loud enough to shatter glass and then pass out. Thanks for the photography compliment- I appreciate it. I'll try to regain my appetitie... haha
