Rating:
Summary: Consumer
Review: A must read one of a kind consumer dining guide. You will learn everything you need to know so you can dine safely away from home.The easy to read style kept me turning pages. I would not have suffered the indignities of my food-borne illness if I had had this book to read before I ate that seafood green salad.

Summary: Great book, will keep you turning the pages
Review: This book really makes you wonder what you have eaten in all of the restaurants you have been in your lifetime. It has funny stories you can relate too. You won't go into a restaurant and be able to just eat your meal without checking everything out. You will find yourself noticing things you never dreamed of. You might even find yourself getting up and walking out of what you thought was a great place to eat. I know I walked into a local Pizza Hut and waited at the door to get my order. First thing I noticed were the menus on the floor. Several of their workers walked by without ever picking them up. I asked one of them if they were going to pick them up and if they would be washed off before being used again. He said yes, they always washed them if they hit the floor. Before this book, I would probably have never paid any attention to things like this.

Summary: Enlightened Restaurant Diner
Review: Your eyes will get wider with each page as "oh my gosh!" is repeated again and again in your head. This book is truly an eye opener in safe/hygienic restaurant dining. This book is a must read for those who enjoy restaurant dining, and should be required for all restaurant managers and employees. The scorecard in chapter 10 makes evaluating a restaurant a breeze. I recommend that managers use this scorecard as part of a customer feedback form as a way to insure that they are doing everything they can to provide a safe and pleasant dining experience. Happy dining!
