What's the worst restaurant you have eaten at?

[BearDen]

Does Applebee's count?

Probably a meal at the Applebee's in the Minneapolis airport several years ago. Just hideous.

Applebee's for me as well. Only time I've ever taken a bite out of a burger and immediately lost my appetite. Meat was gray and rubbery, and the "cheese" was some kind of nightmarish microwaved concoction.

Has anyone actually ever had an airport meal that was just to die for? They are mostly just okay

This was particularly horrible. Don’t think we even paid for the meal, as we couldn’t eat hardly any of it.

The first time I had CinnaBon was at an airport.

Nice story, Urblock

Old Country Buffet....

The last time I ate there I was in my young adult years... 20-22.... I want to say it was one of those cases where I was with my family in an unfamiliar area for a wake or a funeral, and everyone was hungry and saw OCB and said "Let's just go there".

I had not been to one since I was a kid and thought "I bet I can appreciate the variety of food more as an adult... I won't just eat Mac N Cheese and then move on to cinnamon rolls and ice cream"

It was kinda dirty/dated.... like one of those mid-late 30s female bartenders who you can tell was attractive at some point and has the STDs/kids to prove it.

I distinctly remember getting my first plate of food and thinking "I've never gotten food poisoning before, I wonder what that's like".

I tried to get adult food... roast beef, chicken, potatoes.... was not good.... like season 8 of Game of Thrones, decent raw product had been turned into a nightmare I felt I couldn't walk away from.

I wound up eating a plate of shitty Mac N Cheese with cinnamon rolls and then an ice cream cone.

No wonder I wound up so fucking fat, but the food at OCB is awful and that particular one made me reconsider my life choices.

so much this. that fucking food is the most salted down cardboard, diarrhea inducing crap Ive ever had. gave my wife and i food poisoning. mrs. marylandbear111 had to stay 2 days in hospital.

A bunch of us from work go to Denny's for lunch, I wanted to go somewhere else and got outvoted. I ordered the two things I thought were the least likely to get fucked up, a salad and a burger. I start eating the salad then notice there are live ants crawling all over it, I send it back, burger comes out I'm putting it together and ants start falling off the lettuce all over the plate and burger. I call for the manager and very loudly describe what happened so 90% or roughly halve the place hears it.

My coworkers think the whole thing is hilarious, and I hear things like "you shouldn't have ordered the antipasto" " "would you like an antacid". Funny group.

So did you end up eating it?

I have to throw out White Castle. Unless your are completely sloshed, that shit sucks.

White castle isn't a "restaurant", but taco bell would be in that same tier of sloshed food.

People don't sit at White Castle.

If you have a drive thru, you're not a restaurant. That's my rule, write that down.

The last White Castle I ate at, in Vegas, did not have a drive thru so it's a restaurant.

You went INSIDE of a white castle?

.... Gross dude

 

[BNB]

yeah, about 15 years ago, I went to a White Castle for the first time and was vomiting profusely a few hours later. Never went to one again.

I'll be honest man, I didn't really know what was going on at that point in the night.

It was a different time 1985 , the President was insane, the Bears were great, well not that different.

As it turns out I missed out an a very exclusive dining experience, that would cost me $300 today.

Ant Salad
Offering a crunchy alternative to croutons for the gluten-averse, Copenhagen-based Noma -- one of the most lauded restaurants in the world, mind you -- offers a salad topped with crème fraîche and ants, which apparently taste like lemongrass and are chilled so they can't run away very quickly. Even grosser? The salad's $300, making you feel like a jackass for all those times you tossed out ant-covered picnic fruit that couldn've been a goldmine.

A roach coach that came to our shop several years ago stands out to me. I always limited myself to rectangle pizza or other pre-made food though. A friend of mine thought it would be a good idea to get some clam chowder one day... Needless to say, he got sick and threw up in the bathroom that afternoon

I always thought an egg was the thing least likely to get fucked up, and undercooked. Comes in it's own protective packaging, etc. As already mentioned, I kinda used to like the Moons over My Hammy at 2:30 am. Would never touch anything else though.

There is one buffet worse than OCB, and that is Golden Coral. Although I have never been to prison, this is how I picture prison food.
