Yes, food again... but, it is a common theme we all share. Besides, it is better than arguing about things we can do little or nothing about.
I have a few meals that I could list here, and may, eventually. However, the all time worst for me was in the summer of 2010 at Blue Mist Bar BQ in Asheboro. Stopped in there with 3 friends after a golf trip, thinking a bbq sandwich would be a good lunch before we got home. All four of us ordered chopped sandwiches, fries and tea.
When the food arrived, I tasted a piece of the meat that had fallen out of the bun. While it wasn't bad, something wasn't just right, so I poured some of the bottled sauce on it to hopefully bring it around. One of the other guys did the same, and asked if we thought the pork was fit to eat....After my second bite I realized something was horribly wrong. The taste was putrid. I grabbed a napkin and spit out what I had in my mouth, but had already swallowed that heavily sauced first bite. By then, two of the guys had also spit theirs out - one of them had started dry heaving and was bolting for the door.
The lone guy that hadn't tried his yet dropped a twenty on the table and told them we all were sick. Before I could get outside, I had thrown up everywhere in the entrance. I could hear someone else in the place that also sounded sick as I made my way out. Never figured out if it was the other one of group or another customer that got sick because we were.
The three of us that had tried our sandwiches stood outside behind the place, puking our guts out. The one that wasn't sick came out with a waitress, carrying cups of water for us. Someone claiming to be the manager came out to inquire about us, and apologized profusely. Once we had settled down, he again apologized, and asked if we would consider coming back again another time. We respectfully declined his offer.
I'm not sure what was wrong with the bbq they served us, but it took me several months to want to eat any more. Never went back to that place, and last I heard it was closed down. It was by far, the worst meal I've had that impacted several of us so suddenly.
