those,
and will also add them as they come up (and they will, you'll see).
| restaurant or found in what | date | in the food | found by |
| ciatti's, eden prairie | circa 1993 | broken bits of glass in scrambled eggs. | jill. |
| chez daniel, bloomington | december, 2002 (?) | plastic used to hold a bunch of asparagus... though i ordered nothing with asparagus | zan. |
| hope's silver spoon/chow mein, richfield | july 16, 2003 | plastic from the brush they were using on their grill | zan. |
| bloomington park tavern, bloomington | april 3, 2004 | toothpick in the chicken salad (not holding the sanwich together, but *in* the sandwich | zan. |
| falafel king, minneapolis | september 9, 2005 | a half-inch long wooden splinter in the hummus. then again, they had tuna on the vegetarian plate, maybe they just don't know.... | zan. |
| saigon uptown, minneapolis | april 19, 2005 | wooden skewer left inside a shrimp, not visible from the outside of the shrimp | zan. |
| riverview wine bar, minneapolis | december 25, 2005 | well, i think technically it counts... rosemary was in the soup, but alas, they left the small branch they took the leaves off of was left in there. not as bad as the rest of the lot, i think. | zan. |
| ravello, long lake | may 7, 2007 | part of a bag that held mussels. it was in the bowl of mussels, which at least made some sort of sense (see: asparagus at chez daniel). | zan. |
| famous dave's, minnetonka | november 12, 2007 | an extra sharp plastic shard in the midst of a bbq stuffed baked potato. | jill. |
| edina grill, edina | december 7, 2007 | kind of like the riverview wine bar, not quite as bad as a lot of the rest of the entries. the apple/currant crisp had some apple stem in it. | zan. |
| taste of thaiyai, apple valley | march 28, 2008 | i'm pretty sure that was a hair in the rice. maybe it was something like a strand from a canvas bag the rice might came in, but it wasn't rice for sure. | |
| box of organic salad greens | april 28, 2008 | a black wire. i wonder if it was triple washed. | zan. |
| at sara's table chester creek cafe, duluth | may 10, 2008 | well, if the riverview left a small bit of rosemary in the soup, this place left pretty much almost a full plant of rosemary, with many wooden stems, on top of my pizza. roasted. the thing could've friggin' caught fire there was so much wood on it. | |
| duplex, minneapolis | june 11, 2008 | someone didn't clean the crab in the crab cake so very well, so i got a crunchy bit of shell. or maybe it was plastic. but not crab. given my recent dental luck, i am surprised i didn't break a tooth. | zan. |
| familia mexican buffet, brooklyn center | july 25, 2008 | avocado pit in the
guacamole. at least i know it's freshly made. | zan. |
| corner table, minneapolis | september 2 , 2008 | quack. there's a bone in my duck confit. a small one. first bite of the stuff. and since two other people were being served the same dish at the same time, i had a one in three shot of the bony version. | zan. |
