Things can go wrong on the other side of the curtain while we lay back, unwind, and enjoy the leisurely passing time at a restaurant table, slowly indulging in a savory appetizer and impatiently thinking of the meal we're going to be served fresh straight from the kitchen. Although we'd like to believe that we can rely on the restaurant's quality, freshness, and hygiene at all times because it's bustling with customers and you couldn't fool them, this isn't always the case.
In restaurants we usually see the most beautiful things: clean tables, tempting dishes and aromas that make us even hungrier. However, behind the doors that grant access to the kitchen, many things that we do not suspect may already be happening. From mistakes when preparing a meal to lack of hygiene in certain spaces or products that we did not imagine would look like this before reaching our plate. What anecdote have you taken with you when you went to a restaurant?
