thanks for the warm soda

[philjafo]

Just wanted to say thanks to anyone who has posted pics of nasty ice machines up here, I saw some in an old thread and now I caught myself wondering when was the last time this ice machine was cleaned. Just had lunch at a local mass transit themed sandwich place and I saw slime leaking out from the bottom of the door on top of the machine. All this time I always thought it was the food at fats food places making me sick. So thanks guys.

Sometimes ignorance is bliss, its best not to know!

I've always drank soda @ room temp. Ice hurts my teeth. Now I mostly drink tea or water I bring with me.

[ar_hvac_man]

I get plenty of ice in my drinks everywhere I go. Keeps me good n cleaned out

You can usually tell by the cleanliness of floors, bathrooms, employees the overall condition of a restaurant. One fails in my book out the door I go.

If your eating at a asian kitchen better have reference from refer guy or orkin man

[socotech]

I make my own ice and bring with me

Just bypass them altogether. Filthy

A state health inspector once commented, "Go to restaurants which have just reopened after having been shut down for health violations because everything has to be spotlessly clean."

Depending on state and payoff amount. Dirty Dirty south.

I have noticed the places with the most disgusting kitchens have the best tasting food.

We're talking about places where you walk past a dead rat while walking downstairs to go work on the walk in (seriously, walked past one, a little later a waitress walks down, screams, drops what she was carring, and got yelled at by the manager for breaking the stuff . I couldn't stop laughing).

Just keep telling yourself "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger".

Seriously, you've been eating out and using that ice for years, it didn't kill you.

I've never seen one that I would recommend

[carmon]

I have worked in thousands of kitchens.... they all disgust me.... there are some I eat at but the list is small

[carmon]

found this today.... mmmmm

[blitz]

I'm always assuming that one of you guys have been to the places I got ice from

[ldmth44]

Unless the drink is bottled, I won't use soda fountains/ice machines. I have seen the slime that goes along with the bad taste--makes you wonder that more people aren't getting sick. I do some work for kitchens that have MUA units and AC/heat systems--when you see the roaches crawling around, I will definately pass on the free sandwich offered at lunchtime. Good reason to brown-bag it every day!

Is that a remote scotsman flaker one unit, or does it have separate evaporators? I've never seen one like that

[carmon]

yes it is.... there is 2 evaporators in each unit. its a mess... water line let go and looks like this now... its pretty much garbage...
