Reply #68: i'd suggest letting the board of health in your city/state know.

it takes at least two-three complaints to cause an inquiry into the restaurant, so unless another patron had the same problem, you won't cause any harm to the business. (if that is your concern) but if they have unsafe food handling issues, it's a public service to let the BoH know you got sick.

I was a restaurant owner, and I would want to know if my food had made someone sick so I could fix the problem. Sometimes it comes from the supplier tainted and the only way to know is after someone gets sick. One employee can fuck it up for the entire restaurant if they don't wash their hands or improperly store food overnight. Large restaurants are more at risk because there are more employees who can make a mistake.

(for the record, I never had a complaint, and never scored less than a 98 on my inspections, tyvm!)
