You don't know how much I love Larry David. I feel his pain. Anyway, I waitressed at various places when I was putting myself throught school and have seen nasty things, too. I saw a piece of steak fall to the floor once, get rinsed off and then put back on the plate in the kitchen. At least it was rinsed off. I also once walked into the kitchen to find our sweaty chef with his arm elbow deep in a giant vat of mashed potatoes. He pulled his hand out, licked his arm to taste the potatoes and stuck his arm back into the vat. Needless to say, I never had the mased potatoes there again. I have also seen derma (or kishka) being made in a giant sink. Imagine chicken fat and vegetable stuffing mixed together and stuffed into intestines that are sitting in a large sink, then cooked. Don't get me wrong, once it's on your plate and has a little gravy over it, it's delish. But seeing it there, at it's most most disgusting state sitting in a large kitchen sink is a big turn off and an image that's hard to get out of your head.
