I got food poisoning from Red Lobster a long time ago and a friend happened to be a chef there at the time and said that it happened alot...due to the magnitude of orders etc... We have friends that got food poisoning from a Chinese restaurant...

Cook food thoroughly until it is done. Cooked red meat looks brown inside. Poke cooked chicken with a fork. The juices should look clear, not pink. Dig a fork into cooked fish.The fish should flake. Cooked egg whites and yolks are firm,not runny. Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of meat, poultry, casseroles and other food. U sea thermometer with a small-diameter stem. Insert the thermometer 1 to 2 inches into the center of the food and wait 30 seconds to ensure an accurate measurement. Check temperature in several places to be sure the food is evenly heated.

yes i was food poisoned on vacation when i was 12. it was at a little restaurant in kentucky. we were on our way to south carolina. i was poisoned by bad milk, but i didn't know it was bad because i had never tasted bad milk before. so i just thought it was different milk in kentucky. lol. i was 12 so what else was i supposed to think. i was sick since the minute we left the restaurant. i layed down in the backseat and in about 1/2 hour i was screaming to pull over so i could throw up. i threw up so much that i lost 10 pounds in 3 days. i was sick pretty much the whole week. they took me to the hospital because i was in so much pain. it was the worst experience ever.

Yes, many years ago my friends and I used to go for Sunday brunch at the bar of one of Philadelphia's smartest and most expensive hotels. (The drinks were a little pricey but the food was free on Sunday). One Sunday night we all got sick. I don't think we would ever have connected the illness to that place if it hadn't been for the fact that we were all five of us sick as dogs. A couple of my friends reported it but they didn't so much as give a free drink voucher so we all stopped going there.
