it takes just one bad review,
to bring a restaurant down, photograph zero
take/Unsplash, HayanTree,
a popular restaurant and food reviewer on YouTube, refills his plate, but notices grains of rice in his marinade,
raising the suspicion that the restaurant might be reusing its unsold food, the
controversial review quickly went viral, getting over 1 million views in a
matter of days, but here is the thing, “In less
than two to three hours after the YouTuber posted the video, our staff members
left the restaurant’s explanation multiple times that we do not reuse our food
and we could provide the entire footage from the security camera, but our
comments got blocked so other people could not see them.” the restaurant owner
told The Korea Herald, that security footage the businessman
mentioned ended up showing that the rice grains HayanTree had noticed came from
the previous dish he had eaten, and were on the plate before it was refilled,
the YouTuber himself
acknowledged his mistake and took down his negative review, and posted an
apology video in its place, but the damage was done, the controversial review
quickly impacted the accused restaurant so profoundly that it had to be closed
down a few days later, “I went to apologize to the owner of the restaurant for
creating the video without thinking about my impact, but the owner did not feel
comfortable about filming another video,” HayanTree says in his video. “I
should have gone about making the video with accurate facts and I am truly
sorry for my ignorance.” let us hope the same fate dose not befall a favourite restaurant of ours, Miller & Carter when just a few days ago it was fined £60,000 for selling lobster dishes that mainly
contained white fish, the outlet concerned was in Swansea, as reported in the article,
many of the
chain's fancy lobster dishes actually contained 'Lobster Sensations', a frozen
product made up of two-thirds fish protein and fillers, a trading standards office found that the ingredients label identified it as a "chopped,
shaped and formed lobster and white fish mix", and said the product
contained 35% lobster, 34% fish protein (a combination of white fish), and the
remainder made up of fillers, note to self, if we ever go to a Miller & Carter again, do not order the 'Lobster Sensations'!
