「特餐」多為臨期食材 濃醬掩蓋不新鮮
美國《紐約郵報》報導，該女子在TikTok分享影片表示，首先要特別留意菜單上的「特餐」，「聽起來無害，但在行內通常代表『快要壞掉的食材』。透過濃重的醬汁或華麗擺盤掩蓋新鮮度，其實你花大錢吃到的就是昨天的剩菜。」

非沿海城市慎點貝類 處理不當恐中毒
至於海鮮，他強烈建議避免在非沿海城市的餐廳點貝類，「除非確定餐廳每天都有新鮮配送，並且儲藏環境乾淨，否則點貝類就是在拿腸胃開玩笑。處理不當的話，一份豪華海鮮盤就可能變成食物中毒的定時炸彈。」

自助餐雞肉暗藏細菌風險
此外，她也指出自助餐當中的雞肉料理，也是高風險食物，「自助餐的雞肉，如果溫度控制不到位，正是細菌的溫床。在大量出餐的環境，沒有人會逐盤檢查，你當下可能看不出來，但12小時後身體一定感覺得到。」

飲品中的冰塊亦要小心
至於飲料部分，這名老闆特別點名冰塊，「如果製冰機沒徹底清潔，你等於是在喝一杯冰鎮細菌培養皿。」
@juliabesz.bloommoneying We were sat over a late-night cuppa after his shift when he said it: “There are a few things you should never order in any restaurant.” Not his, not a chain, not even the posh ones. I laughed, thinking it was some insider joke — but his face didn’t budge. He wasn’t being dramatic, he was being de@d serious. The first on his list? “Specials” that aren’t tied to a clear seasonal ingredient. Sounds harmless, but in the trade, that often means “stuff we need to shift before it goes off.” The sauce masks the age, the garnish distracts you — and by the time you’ve finished, you’ve basically paid top dollar for yesterday’s leftovers. Then there’s shellfish in places nowhere near the coast. Unless you know they’ve got daily deliveries and spotless storage, you’re gambling with your gut. “Most punters don’t realise,” he said, “but the wrong handling turns a fancy seafood platter into a food poisoпing time bomb.” He also warned me about ice in drinks at certain bars. “If the ice machine isn’t cleaned properly — and in busy spots, it often isn’t — you’re basically sipping on a chilled petri dish.” Suddenly, that summer cocktail didn’t feel so Instagrammable. And the shocker? Chicken dishes in buffets or all-you-can-eats. It’s the perfect breeding ground for bacteria if temps aren’t bang-on, and trust me — in high-volume places, they’re not checking every tray like they should. “You won’t see it,” he said, “but you’ll feel it 12 hours later.” Here’s the quick takeaway for peace of mind: next time you eat out, ask yourself one question — how quickly is this moving off the kitchen pass? If the answer’s “not very,” leave it on the menu. You’ll save yourself a fortune in wasted meals… and maybe a night hugging the loo.
