Warning: This sandwich may contain a gold earring
A Chicago man is suing McDonald's for injuries he sustained when he swallowed a gold earring that was in his sandwich.

Washington's Breadline sandwich shop has food safety issues
barfblog.com fan Jessica said I should do something on famed Washington, D.C. sandwich shop, Breadline.
I checked it out, and yeah, a number of D.C. outlets reported on the establishment’s closing, but the detailed inspection reports in the Washington City Paper were the best.
There’s a bunch of somewhat mundane inspection issues but the interesting food safety reading is near the end. Among the more disgusting infractions:
• a “display deli case maintaining a temperature of 82° F;”
• a dirty meat slicer (”old food particles present”) and a dirty potato chopper (ditto) as well as “debris throughout prep tables and prep table shelving;”
• improper cooling of chicken, chick pea spread, tuna salad, curry chicken salad, sliced turkey, ground beef, and cole slaw, all above the required 41° Fahrenheit threshold; and,
* a bread rack or other equipment blocked access to hand sinks. “Handsinks,” must be accessible at all times for proper handwashing.”
