There was a restaurant about 10 minutes from my house that got closed down because they were serving cat meat in their dishes.

I'm not too sure about that secret sauce one. I've heard about it, but I'm a bit sketchy on the details.

There was an Indian restaurant in my home town in the UK that got closed down when health inspectors visited and found half a dog in their freezer

Anyway - not the food but the most embarrassing experience I had at a restaurant was when my Japanese girlfriend fainted in the entrance as we were about to leave. We'd had a bottle of wine between us and she'd had maybe one glass of it! I think babygrass can relate to this little tolerance problem. Unfortunately due to having drunk the best part of a bottle of wine I was not in the best state to pick her up

At El Conejo in Irvine, I once found a shard/piece of wood in my enchilada.

That was about 8 years ago, and I've never eaten there since.

oh, and there's always the occassional hair or lint pieces that can be found in the food of most chinese restaurants.

oh, and at this other restaurant in chinatown (its not a chinese restaurant, but a french), they use their dinner rolls cut in half as buns for their burgers. CHEAPO!

but their beef wellington is good though...go figure?

When I was in college in Ft. Collins, CO, there was a Taco Bell where an unhappy employee added human poo to the beans. There was a big stink (pun intended) when the story ran in the paper. The restaurant soon closed for remodeling while the news story passed (again).
