A little vomit and diarrhea won't keep me away from my Olive Garden.

Well hey - at least whatever they ate won't make 'em fat

HOrrible...I know...

I've actually never been a big Olive Garden fan...

Wow. It made national news. Thank God I don't live on the north side! Seriously, I feel really bad for those people. Restaruants need to take better care of how they handle their foods.

It is ALL about being clean, esp. habds. With the dawn of things like Purell, it should not be that difficult. But, cleaning containers and surfaces is equally as important. I remeber when I was a kid, this guy's dad would take the live crabs or crawfish he caught and dump them from a bucket into the boiling water and then put the cooked stuff back in the same container without washing it. Then, they would wonder why they got sick

Right, but wasn't the Taco Bell related to the green (and white) onions, NOT from fecal matter?
Who wants to bet the Olive Garden was from onions, too?
I love Olive Garden. And onions.

That's what you get for going to a chain Italian restaurant.

Yeah, I'm sure single restaurants only buy non-e coli green onions.

I believe the fecal matter got on the onions somewhere like a month or so ago when the people processing the spinach were unclean.

Is that it? I never actually heard the connection of HOW the green onions got it.
