Reply to comment by ZephyrInfernum in Max's on Broad restaurant to close, make way for new concept by cmac6

Right. Sort, soak (purge), de-beard, rinse/scrub, steam.

At the time, I figured that they kept running out of previously filtered mussels by the time I ordered them—thus the extra wait while everyone else got their food—and it was just a constant game of cutting corners. Except it kept happening and I gave up. I can only do so much understanding as a customer.

Now, I figure they were just cutting corners and betting on a calculated risk that only some people would complain about the sandy crunch between their teeth while the rest would be too nice to say anything 🙄 Except I don't pay to have sand in my mouth.

Lol, you'd probably walk into his kitchen and tell him it's filthy and then get asked to leave.

I have a cat and they get on the kitchen counters when I'm not in there in search for food! 😼

But I also wipe down my counters with Lysol wipes before cooking and watch him like a hawk when preparing food.

So far, zero reports from friends and family (or me) of foodborne illnesses from my kitchen in all my years 🤞🏻

I know where you live and I know how to drop off delicious leftover food that has been kept in the danger zone for a suspicious (but still safe) amount of time!

I can't remember if I said this to you before, but I don't hold a home kitchen to the same standards as a commercial volume kitchen. The commercial kitchen by nature of it's volume has a higher likelihood of foodborne illnesses and so extra precaution must be taken.

At home, just like u/fusion260, my cats get on the counter and it's no big deal after a Lysol/Clorox wipedown. at least we actually wipedown our counters, which is more than I can say for Hobnob.
