If there’s one piece of advice I always give people it’s this: never argue with someone who serves you food and drink.

Of course, the customer at this Texas Roadhouse didn’t even argue with the waiter or cook when his steak was overcooked, but he still got a nasty surprise when he cut into it: the cook’s hair! The steak was overcooked, and when it was sent back to the kitchen, the customer was offered another steak to take home with him. That’s the one the cook cut open and placed his hair in. A co-worker in the kitchen told authorities that the cook said “these are my pubes” (yikes), though he’s only charged with putting facial hair in the steak.

The twist to this is that the customer wasn’t even going to complain about the first overcooked steak, it was the restaurant manager who insisted that he get another ribeye.

I bet that when you heard about the recent recall of 143 million pounds of beef from Westland/Hallmark you didn’t think you’d have to worry about sauces and bouillon cubes.

But that’s what’s happening. Although much of the frozen beef from the past two years has probably already been eaten or discarded, there might also be some of the meat in canned and packaged foods, including soup, sauces, and bouillon cubes. And some of those foods can sometimes stay on shelves and in the cupboards of consumers for a couple of years.

There have been no illnesses reported and no evidence of actual contamination, but officials don’t want to take any chances.
