Drive In Food
Warning for those with weak stomachs do not read!!...
Many years ago as a kid I worked at the Sky Ray Drive In in Hooksett. Some of the things that went on there were just disgusting. Here's just a few...
After the movie the owner would walk around and pick up all the used popcorn and french fry containers on the ground and re-use them.
Left over popcorn was thrown into a garbage bag and reheated the next night until sold.
When the hot dogs started going bad they became somewhat slimy, no problem at all, he would rinse them off in hot water and throw them on the rollers anyway.
Any and all left over food (burgers and dogs) which were in those foil type envelope containers were simply reheated the next night or the next until sold.
Left over french fries, shrimp rolls or any other deep fried food was reheated in the grease the next night or the next until they sold.
The fryaltor was left uncovered at night so the next day we would have to scoop all the bugs out of it before using.
Because the exhaust fan was directly over the fryalator, bugs would constantly be be whacked by the blades and fall into the oil while food was cooking in it. The grease was never changed all season...
I was scarred for life working there!
