2pelo Honey Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 No kidding. This area does Italian pretty well and I love it, but, uh, some of us like to eat other things from time to time, too, without having to eat bar food or at some hokey "family restaurant" franchise in Vestal. Tell me this is a joke. See the above, re: hokey "family restaurants". One is plenty, if not too many. I hear ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't have to ask around to prove something you fabricated. Posting it a hundred times doesn't make it true either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Just to be closer to Town Square Mall? The Olive Garden is pretty old. It's probably cheaper to build a new one than renovate the existing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Seems like a few people are thinking all beef safety is the same... Steak and hamburger are treated differently for a reason. Beef is contaminated when the animal is cut up, as workers move quickly and can easily nick an intestine, spreading the, uh, "contents" onto the meat. With a steak, any contamination will be on the outside of the solid piece of meat, so even light cooking will kill anything and the rarer inside is generally safe. Hamburger is different because you've ground it up and spread any contamination throughout the entire piece: it's not considered safe unless you cook it enough to kill whatever is inside, which means medium or higher. That's one reason a lot of places refuse to serve burgers rare or medium rare, as they can't necessarily control their supplier but will get all the blame anyway. Doesn't matter how clean the kitchen is: the beef shows up pre-contaminated. Another reason is that, yes, many states and cities do ban serving ground beef rare or medium rare. New York, apparently does not: http://w3.health.state.ny.us/dbspace/NYCRR10.nsf/56cf2e25d626f9f785256538006c3ed7/8525652c00680c3e852565300065c45b?OpenDocument&Highlight=0,ground "(e) every part of ground meat or food containing ground meat are to be heated to at least 158 degrees Fahrenheit (69.4 degrees Celcius), unless a consumer requests preparation of a single order of ground meat or food containing ground meat which must be prepared at a temperature less than 158 degrees Fahrenheit in order to comply with the request." In other words, all hamburger must be cooked to medium or higher... UNLESS you, the customer, agree that you want a meal prepared at a lower temperature. If a customer simply ordered "a burger" and got one cooked below medium, it would be a violation. I don't eat burgers rare or medium rare, myself. The risk is very small, but being hospitalized with a week's worth of explosive, bloody diarrhea is not anywhere on my bucket list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Hardee's was not that great. They were eventually bought out by the California/southwestern Carl's Jr. and the menu was completely revamped. As far as fast food goes, it's readily superior to our all-too-plentiful supply of McDonalds', Burger Kings, Wendy's, etc. It's the only fast food that I've ever found worthwhile, though the footlong cheeseburgers might be pushing it more than a little bit. http://www.slashfood.com/2007/08/27/hardees-voted-best-fast-food-for-2007/ ...and while we're at it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean they all will survive, but given their price point they are more likely. Around here, if a meal costs more than $5 or $6 and is not an 'all you can jam buffet', you're going to have to work real hard building your business. It's really a shame, but the reality.
