LOOK BEFORE YOU EAT!

How often do you look down at what you're eating? Probably, not very often. I promise you that after you read about this airport restaurant mishap, you'll keep an eye on everything you eat! So, it turns out a passenger at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport was stunned to discover maggots crawling on top of a sandwich he ordered at a terminal restaurant last week.

Joe Woloshuk purchased a focaccia sandwich from Cafe Intermezzo and when he opened the box after boarding his flight to Miami, he noticed something on the bread start to move. He said, "I'm looking, what I thought was parmesan, right? And the parmesan began to move." Immediately disgusted by the sight of his maggot infested lunch, Woloshuk did what any person in their right mind would do and he took out his cell phone out and shot video of the maggots. In video, Woloshuk says, "That's what I was served for lunch," as he poked the lump of maggots with a straw to make them move. Are you throwing breakfast up yet or what?

Woloshuk kept the sandwich and called the restaurant to let them know of the problem when he returned to Atlanta. He told them, "This isn't a wilted tomato. This isn't even a moldy piece of bread. These are maggots!" Of course, instead of taking the blame on themselves, Cafe Intermezzo blamed the bread maker for the maggots and told a news channel that it had already found a new bread supplier. The company claims, "All products from the vendor were removed. Not one single crumb of bread from the vendor remains in the facility."

 The restaurant offered Woloshuk a refund, which he declined saying that he would rather have the cafe erase his memory of the whole episode because that is sight you will never forget. He says, "I'm in this airport weekly, and it makes me pretty angry." It's true! We're supposed to trust our food handlers when we pay for food. It gets me angry still when I see restaurant workers not wearing gloves when they make your food. Seeing that has caused me to walk out of many establishments. Just because they have a sign in their bathroom that says, "Employees Must Wash Hands" doesn't mean it's okay to serve people food with no gloves on. Why would I want sweaty, clammy, bacteria infested hands touching the meat I'm about to ingest? It makes me sick just thinking about it. Unfortunately, for Woloshuk, he can't un-see what he saw, but it teaches all of us a lesson to look before we eat!
