Watch it
Today I went out to lunch at petruzzi's and had chicken parm. After I had like 4 of 5 bites i realized somethign wasn't right. I looked at the chicken and it wasn't cooked in the middle it was raw. My question is how long does it take food poisioning from raw meat to hit and what should I watch out for? I have never had food poisoning before in my life.

thanks much.

Usually 24+ hours. If you start vomiting and/or diarrhea, make sure you drink plenty of fluids. I had this in Hawaii and got very dehydrated QUICKLY...ended up with an i.v. and some anti-nausea meds. Normally, you don't have many warning signs- you'll just start vomiting or have a serious upset stomach, depending on the severity of it. Hope you make it through without getting sick. :howdy:

Oh, and the doc told me it is actually more likely to get sick from contaminated veggies than meat. Don't know how accurate he is, but that's what he said (take that spinach outbreak in the U.S. for example).

To have lunch of course. I hadn't been there in a while and the first time I went the food was good. This time not so. I wont be going back there anytime soon.

My daughters ravioli came out frozen solid once. :lmao:
Uh I guess food has gone downhill from what I am seeing. I don't plan to visit that place again anytime soon. I bet they sooner or later go out of business like everything else has that has been in that place.
 
Seems to me there was a lot of banter about that place, oh, maybe a year or 2 ago. Same things: undercooked meals, frozen food on the plate... could have been here, could have been RoseRed's comments I remember!! I went there once shortly after they opened, didn't care for the food, never went back.

Why would you ever go back to a place that served you raw chicken, and:

they were in such a rush to get me out the door.
