I for one want to hear about this pretty bad experience.
There was an Indian place I used to frequent that was local to my home a good 10 or so years ago. While they mostly focused on Indian food, they also made pizzas and the like, and to this day despite my experiences with them I will say that they made the
best tastiest Bolognese pizza I've ever had. My social circles mostly agreed, we all went nuts over how good their pizza was. Ordered from the place religiously every other weekend, 12" Bolognese pizza as part of the recovery process from a night out on the Friday/day prior, always ordered over the phone rather than physically going to the place even though it was only 15-20 minutes away on foot. After a time I took a bit of a break from ordering take away as I was going through a healthy eating/exercise phase.
My birthday comes around six months later and I decide to cheat and have a night out and a take away the next day. Great night out, I wake up the next day and despite my hangover gleefully count the hours until I can order my much missed pizza. In the middle of eating I receive a phone call from a friend who had only recently started going to the take away. I'm informed he'd went in and the place absolutely stunk, and not in the tasty curry sort of way you'd expect. There were 'bugs' as he put it crawling up the walls. I was told not to order from them no matter what, very nice of him to inform me of course but by that point it was a tad late. Suffice it to say I actually ended up with a pretty bad case of food poisoning, I was off work for several days due to it. I wont go into too much detail, but lets just say both ends were hard at work clearing my innards. My friend called a complaint in about it (I'm guessing he wasn't the only one) and the place was shut down entirely within a week or so. Turned out the shop had changed hands, the original owners had passed it on to family and moved back home.
This part might be hearsay, but around the time all of this happened there were an inordinate number of pets going missing in the area. Peoples cats not coming home, dogs going missing out of back yards. A lot of people claimed that one of the major reasons the place was shut down wasn't just the awful hygiene, but that they'd been butchering peoples pets as a source of meat. Coincidence or not the 'missing pets' epidemic in the area pretty much seemed to halt after the place was closed down. It's something I never verified, but I find it somewhat plausible.
It took best part of a year before I'd order food in after that, and I've been extremely fussy ever since.
