This is ridiculous. If they put fecal matter in their food, then just say that and tell us how you know. Why all the secrecy?

It's more fun that way.


Seriously though, it came through the DA's office.

well anyway, even if I ate a fecalburger it was fecalicious. I'm sure you guys have eaten some pretty nasty things yourselves over the years. Especially if you've ever eaten at Shoney's. They always make those dateline undercover camera shows for stratching thier crotches with forks.

No it is Fast Food Nation. Supersize Me is another movie.

Right, but Fast Food Nation is the one that was a book long before it was a movie. I asked since you didn't seem to know about the book.

This is the truth....how many people here have worked in some way in the food industry?? and how many of said people have seen people do things to food you that should not have been done???

I rest my case....

though the five guys thing is pretty gross...I still have yet to talk to my brother about this....he worked there while here for school...

I dont buy it, they would have been shut down for a while for that one. I called the health dept on Pizza hut b/c of bugs on plates and they were shut down for a week!

Either way it's the best in town!

I chose Five Guys, although Weenie Stand isn't far behind. They're the closest thing to a halfway decent diner we have, and the only eating establishment in the 'burg (as far as I know) where corn dogs are on the menu.

I am starting to think more and more the the Five Guy thing somehow got twisted into something more then it was...I talked to my brother who worked there about it...he proceeded to call a couple of guys who work there now and they know nothing about it either....wouldn't you think present employees would know about crap in the meat??? It just seems a bit shady to me....

there has got to be more to this story then we know

If you believe about half of what you read on FlameFans, you're severely overestimating the credibility of the source.

Eh. I think you might be underestimating the members of this board by quite a bit.
