Pandoras

I avoided eating at Pandora's after hearing of the green tinged prime rib.

I try to order it that way, improves the texture going in...and going out.

I use to eat the prime rib special all the time. When was the meat green? :yikes:

Does that list make you a little queasy about eating out in general?

that list and stories about other places around here sure do:bang:

do tell.

Things like the following, from one local place's last inspection, are always a bit frightening to me. Want to get food poisoning, eliminate soap from the sinks. In Florida, it is a law that a sign must be placed in restrooms directing employees to wash their hands with soap. Note to restaurant owners and managers: you cannot wash your hands with soap if no soap is provided.

From a recent SoWal restaurant inspection:

Critical. Handwashing cleanser lacking at handwashing lavatory.

Critical. No soap or paper towels at waitstation handsink.

Can you elaborate on this a bit please?

Alert!!!! Pandora's will reopen in the spring according to my sources. New management will be in place. Please do not repeat this.

A friend told me that if I ever ate there I couldn't order my meat the way I usually do (rare/medium rare) as anything that wasn't "well done" tended to have a green tinge, giving a new meaning to "aged beef".

Maybe the that is what gave the steaks such great flavor. I ate steaks at Pandora's maybe three times, and I always order R - MR, and the ones I ate at Pandora's were delicious. The steaks are probably the least likely to make you sick, out of all the critical issues cited. Now those room temperature crawfish are another story.

I'm sure it added flavor, but probably the kind I could do without :puke:

I agree. Meat stays interiorly sterile, and the salting and heating on the outside should do in any bad stuff. They had really tasty steaks..I hope they do re-open with new management, much higher hygiene standards, and with new flooring--that tile grout was as gross as any of the other stuff.

I'll much rather eat rare steaks than butter and bread which was recycled coming back from customers who had eaten. Talk about the potential to spread germs.

Cuts of meat are generally safer from bacterial contamination than a processed meat (like ground beef) because the bacteria doesn't penetrate - but that only goes so far, it won't help if it is being turned by a dirty utensil, cooked on a dirty grill or sliced w/ an unclean knife.

Stories of green meat in a place cited for numerous critical health violations and a filthy floor. Why am I am not wishing I had a reservation for tomorrow night:roll:.

Sorry, had to question this as the current manager is related to one of the owners.

Maybe working without an active license for 3 years has something to do with that. Who knows.

guess we'll cross them off the eats list ! even my kitchen is cleaner...

Over Ruled. :rolling:

Anyone seen the show Kitchen Nightmares? I'm in love with this reality show, maybe we can get Pandoras on there?
