burger king, I asked a server why the food preparers are not wearing gloves, answer, they sannatize their hands. So what if they scratch their butts!! doubt they wash their hands frequent as they should.

Anyway, if anyone cares, it is very unsanatory, and illegal.
Im staying far away from there until they change it.

:s which location was this? I have steered clear of BK ever since i got food poisoning some years ago but thanks to my aunt's tightly gripped wallet we recently ate there. Now i'm really regretting that.

village rd, they've basically gone back to how the previous owners ran the place.

same here, its close to me, and cheaper than KFC, Wendies, and open on a sunday night, thats why i went, better than a gas station hot dog, or so i thought.

this was the last time though, last week i had a breakfast sandwhich from there, and they used a burger pattie instead of sausage meat, and guess what else, it was left over from the day before, hard as a rock and just fell to pieces! You could tell they just put together left overs and threw it in the microwave, the bread was smoking and crumpled right up, and the egg was tastless.

Basically, its all down to bad management, who hangs out with the staff in the kids seating area, talkking and laughing, at least everytime ive been in there recently. Maybe they should try to manage the staff and business a little better.

You know what I think the government should put a moratorium on North American fast food chains in Nassau, reason being that some like BK aren't being ran properly and up to standard, as well the food is unhealthy and not as tasty as our own local cuisine.

:s same thing can be said for any restaurant really. if there's one food medium that needs to be regulated it is the many 99cent breakfast spots and people selling food out of the back of cars on the side of the road that have popped up all over new providence, in the majority of them there is no running water (something that i thought was a prerequisite)

I think it is generally tastier, some times, not on the fish side though, but just as unhealthy. McDonalds is not very tasty, BKing is normally the best, in the US, Wendies is like fake patties, though their potatoes and other things are good. In fact, our local cuisine is probably more unhealthy, unless you can find some grilled chicken at a chicken shack or checkers, not! ;-)

Noone in their right mind should be buying food from those places anyway, I think most people know they are not exactly 'clean'. Thats basically trusting your life in the hands of a stranger, and I wonder how many of them (back of cars) have business licences? If someone on the street offers you a cup of water, or a piece of their sandwhich opened already, would you drink or eat it? Not me! Another example of unsanitory and unregulated cooking enviroments would be Potters Cay and Montagu (on weekends).

I think we all (especially me) need to start cooking more at home from now on! :-0 There doesnt appear to be any health department in this country any more.

if you eat fast food on the whole you are gambilng!!!
:eek:

so you want them to cook you death in a bag with a glove???? :sarcastic

Rory! I ate there this Lunch time! (Before I read this thread.) I will let you know if anything "happens!"

I truth, I am not to worried about it. "Clean" and "Bahamian food handlers" do not go hand in hand. Maybe we have built up an immunity to all those germs.

well someone bought me lunch today and it was guess where from, burger slop! anyway, had to eat it, but made sure took the cold veggies out which just harvest germs!

By the way, the Myers Group owns Burger King, same as KFC.

Whether or not it makes us sick, its the fact that it 'could' due to un sanitory handling. Its nothing to do with the health benefits of the food itself, it is generally more healthy than any bahamian cuisine, not all of it, especially the french fries, but; Bahamian Cuisine; French Frieds, Fried Chicken, Peas and Rice, Macoroni Cheese, Potato Salad, Crack conch, BBQ Chicken, Corned Beef & Grits, Sheep Tongue, Fried Fish, etc, can go on an on.

But the health benefits of the food is not my concern, its the way it is handled. I worked in 2 restaurants in NY and know how and why food is supposed to be handled,

are you comparing deep fried pig slop......
to the majority of the bahamian food diet???

are you serious!!!
:shaky:

Bahamian food is not very good for you, especially in the amounts we eat.. I couldnt possibly keep up with the Bahamian diet the way I used to.. The portions are just ridiculous.

The last time I went to that Village rd BK in Nassau BEFORE it closed down I saw the ladies in there making my sandwhich with their hands, no gloves.. Did I say anything? Nahh.. Did I eat it? Yup, I was starving.. Those onion rings are a big temptation but I did think about her grubby hands all over the lettuce while I was eating it :(

the main problem is with bahamian food is we...
OVER-CONSUME!!!

we always have...and the way we so greedy, we always will!!
but, in small sensible portions, our food is ten times healthier than the deep fried fat we eat at burger king, or kfc!

if you eat a bucket of chicken, you are going to get sick...
if you eat ten burgers, you are going to get sick..
if you eat a whole pan of macaroni, you are going to be sick!!!
:voodoo:

There is no difference from KFC and bahamian cuisine, fried chicken is fried chicken, unless you know somewhere they server grilled chicken as a bahamian cuisine? Macaroni is pure grease, there is nothing in it worth eating, though it does taste good. At least a Burger has lettuce, tomato and onions in it, very healthy food.

Id like to know what your idea of Bahamian cuisine is?? As I eat out at bahamian and fast food joints on a daily basis.

you sound a bit americanized... :o
my idea of good bahamian cuisine are things like
conch
fish
peas and rice
conch and rice
potato salad "which they push in american kfc's"
macaroni "which they push in american kfc's"
pork chops "which when cooked has twice less fat than a greasy deep fried in lard burger"

you may have it twisted...fast food is fast food!!!
to compare it to bahamians cuisine is not a good comparison!

that gook what they mostly serve at bamboo shack aside from the lobster and conch is just as bad as wendies TRIPPLE STACK WITH BACON!!!
but....
how many natural food places and diners do you get from america...virtualy none!!!
but....
how many ready to order food places you get from the bahamas......
hhhmmmmmmm
NOTHING FRIED IN PIG LARD IS GOOD!!!!
:voodoo:
and to ask them to wear gloves is really a joke!!!
