A wonderful part of modern life is the ability to often find a restaurant for every whim and budget if you look hard enough. But sometimes, when on the hunt for a place to stop and eat, you come across a location that appears to be moonlighting as a haunted house.

So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites, and be sure to add your thoughts, experiences, and observations to the comments section below.

It's okay, the title of the article will be changed once the author sees everyone taking a s**t all over the fact that the content doesn't match. As usual, here on BP. This is #1 as of my comment so I haven't read the rest but I can guarantee most will not have any "threatening auras".

The concept of “things with a threatening aura” has crept up in internet culture lately, in many ways coinciding with a growing interest in the macabre and creepy. It could also be that, finally, someone managed to capture that specific sort of fear and confusion that certain things bring out without a clear cause.
Of course, what is actually “cursed” is the number of deaths caused by food safety regulations being ignored. While it can happen in a nice, popular upscale restaurant, it stands to reason that a place that can’t even get its own sign right will struggle with keeping your food separate from the floor.

It reminds me of ... here in Denmark we have these popular Christmas cookies called Jew Cakes, and I dont know why its not forbidden but the some stores display them with an advertise saying 'baked in gas oven' :-/

First of all, that's not a "billboard", it's a poster in a fiberglass frame on what is either a bus stop or a shaded park bench. Second, it's not like the crematorium is battering and deep frying the dead. They're only crispy until they turn to ash 😆

I knew there was a reason for the square patties! The chili is pretty popular at Wendy's, too.
More precisely, over half a billion people get sick from foodborne illnesses every year, of which nearly half a million end up dying. To cut restaurants some slack, not all of these happen in eateries, often stores and even household kitchens don’t live up to the necessary safety standards.

SonicAlchemy 2 years ago
I mean, it doesn't say anything about applying, accepting applications or who to talk to so if I were a current employee I might have some questions coming in to the shift.
However, unless you are pretty unlucky or dangerously careless, chances are, most of the times you have encountered food poisoning have been from a restaurant, not home cooking. Despite the fact that food safety guidelines exist, there are significantly more eateries than there are people to raid them.

We have a pizza restaurant next to a crematorium next to a 2nd hand furniture shop. No open spaces between the buildings
Open up Google Maps or whatever your local map service is and just take a look at the number of bars, restaurants, cafes, and other eating establishments in your general vicinity. Chances are, unless you live in a particularly rural area, there would be more than you can shake a stick at. Checking and rechecking them all might be beyond an often smallish governmental service.

This picture is from Benton, Arkansas. The sign was there long before the Applebee's was even thought of. The sign freaked my SIL out badly one morning when she was driving to Hot Springs after working an overnight shift in the ICU. She had never noticed it before.

Load More Replies... Remember, food safety inspectors aren’t just poking around your local watering hole, they also need to look into logistics centers, slaughterhouses, stores, packaging plants, farms, and really any other location that touches the food industry. Which, when you sit down to think about it, is most of them.

Despite the fact that so much of what we eat can kill us (talk about a threatening aura) it would appear that governments around the world sort of believed in an honor system for the longest time. For example, eggs, which smell like literal sulfur when they go bad, were only routinely inspected from 1970 onwards in the US.

There used to be one near where I lived in San Antonio in 1973-74. They decided to add soft ice cream to their menu and came up an ad campaign with the slogan "Worship This Sundae at Church's" Pretty clever, right? Not if you're directly across the street from the headquarters of the Texas Southern Baptist Convention. (they were NOT amused)

My immediate thought was this is what it would be like if Palpatine was on yelp.
The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), in its current form, only came into existence in 1981, although there had been a similar agency just four years earlier. So every time you see film or TV characters in an old diner during something set in the 60s, just remember that the most abject horror could have been going on in the kitchen.

So perhaps listen to your instincts and do your best to listen to your gut, pun absolutely intended, when it comes to restaurants with threatening auras. While certain red flags might indicate that the food will be good (taste-wise, not in terms of your gut health,) common sense is still of paramount importance.

Apparently the "bang" is a common term for village. "Kok" refers to some sort of fruit, plums or olives most likely. So, Bangkok= village of plums/village of olives.

As another has already said, no, the pancakes are definitely frozen and microwaved to order. The only things "scratch" about McDonald's breakfast are the eggs that go on the McMuffins and the bacon.
