Newbiesaukee is right about staphyloccus.........that is the only foodborne illness that strikes fairly rapidly but it rarely shows up in seafood....it is mostly found in dairy based products. Salmonella and listeriosis are more common and don't show up for several days in some cases.
It's human nature to blame your last meal when you get an intestinal illness, but in many cases, it could have been days or even weeks.
You are more likely to have a problem at home than in a restaurant so it's always good to use a little bleach on your cutting board...especially with chicken.
I'll bet many of you bring chicken or burgers to your grill on a pan and then use that same pan for the cooked product .......very risky to mix raw and cooked foods so you should always change pans or wash between prep and serving.
Happy summer everyone....there's still some left.
