A Chef Ate Gas Station Nachos For Dinner. This Is What Happened To His Limbs.

It’s just canned cheese sauce and tortilla chips. Same shit you would buy at the store, a little league game or other events.

Safer than gas station sushi.

I've eaten gas station food hundreds of times. I prefer the roller grill type of items, but I've had nachos enough to say they are gtg. Not great, but edible.

The gas station sushi guy ate it a bunch of times and wasn't in as bad a shape as the guy getting a massive dose of botulism!

You're more likely to contract botulism from a home cooked meal than gas station nachos.  The Tender Tummy Brigade might suffer other ill effects though.

I have only once in my entire life projectile vomited a chewed up gas station hot dog.  I have eaten hundreds of them. They are safe to eat.

What I find remarkable is the failure of this guy's body to make him throw up. A simple barf and his problems would have been minor.

"A food was implicated by laboratory detection of toxin or epidemiologic investigation without laboratory confirmation in 77 (76%) events (Table 3). Of these events, 68 (67%) were caused by homemade foods. Home-canned foods accounted for 47 (69%) of the homemade food events, affecting 70 people, while other types of homemade foods accounted for the remaining 21 (31%) events, which affected 27 people. Of the nine events caused by nonhomemade foods, five (56%) events, which affected 10 people, were caused by commercial foods, and two (22%) events, which affected 25 people, were caused by restaurant-prepared foods."

ETA- it's the same anywhere you look.  Home prepared foods are more dangerous, with home preserved (canned, etc) stuff being the most hazardous of all.  The traditional native food preservation techniques in AK are especially linked to botulism outbreaks.

I had to look up "pruno". It looks like as long as you're not drinking prison wine or home canning fish in some dumbass way, it's extreeeemely rare to get botulism. Like, more likely to get struck by lightning twice on the same day than eat a bad tamale.

Should be ok.

Buying boudin at a truck stop, on the other hand, is definitely Russian roulette.

True.  Ingredients for nachos are pretty shelf-stable and can't really kill ya.  Meat, on the other hand...I'm not adventurous to trust the gas station attendant or foolish enough to believe he has any idea what foodborne illness is

Did you watch all of the video?

Granny had AIDS.

The salmonella from eating cookie dough is what led them to finally find the AIDS. In the video, the narrator even says that getting salmonella from the eggs in cookie dough is not a common occurrence.

The nachos you make yourself at 7-11 are awesome. Top them with chili,cheese and onions. The guys at work will hate you as the gas they produce is epic. Lots of volume and bouquet.

The takeaway from that video is: Don't eat raw cookie dough if you've recently had an organ transplant, or if you have aids.

The stock footage in the video is of a car driving up to Sheetz, but that’s BS because Steve Steetz personally guarantees the absence of botulism in his delicious grub.

The footage he uses is entertainment in its own way. I'm convinced that some of the "women" actors are him with rolled up socks under his shirt.

After all the weird shit I've seen, I'm at the point where, if I eat out, I want to see that frozen food drop out of the Sysco bag and onto the grill, being made by someone with no tats and a hair net.
