I
had a brief interview with William, a chef with very good knowledge of
restaurant food safety measures who has worked at restaurants that are affiliated with
high-end hotels. I am using only his first name to protect his identity. You
probably can already guess what he said about the extent to which he and his
fellow kitchen staff were committed to ensuring that food is safe for patrons. "At the off
hours," he said, meaning outside of the breakfast, lunch and dinner rush
hours, "it is possible to follow food safety rules". "However," he
added, "the rules go out the window when the rush is on." Incidentally, these are the times when a majority of people are served at restaurants with the increased chances of getting more people ill at once.
He did not
say this but I suspect he saw no reason for anyone to worry. After all, a few
rules ignored until it is more convenient to obey them will not hurt any of the
hungry patrons during the rush hours, right?
