Mar-A-Lago Food Disaster: Trumps Overpriced Club Cited By State For Bad Sushi, Broken Down Coolers

[bathroommonkey76]

PALM BEACH — Just days before the state visit of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump‘s private club in Palm Beach, Florida restaurant inspectors found potentially dangerous raw fish and cited the club for storing food in two broken down coolers.

Inspectors found 13 violations at the fancy club’s kitchen, according to recently published documents, a record for an institution that charges $200,000 in initiation fees.

Three of the violations were deemed “high priority,” meaning that they could allow the presence of illness-causing bacteria on plates served in the dining room.

According to their latest visit to the club January 26, state inspectors decided Mar-a-Lago’s kitchen did meet the minimum standards.

1. Gross

[Warpy]

2. Looks like he runs that the way he runs everything else

Right into the ground.

[japple]

27. Just like he's running the country. No one is in charge. No one is

paying attention. The captain of the ship is playing golf!

[Alice11111]

3. Why would we be surprised? That's his MO.

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. He is a terrible businessman, and were it not for OUR right to SUE his ass

as a businessman, he would be poisoning people by the thousands.

A right they are intent on taking, by the way.

[Alice11111]

46. It's all glitz and show. Behind the veneer, he is a cheapass

Fraudster. He doesn't pay his workers if he can get away w it. Everything is done as cheaply as possible.

Non-Disclosure Employment Contracts....

.... Fuck that Shit !

[Scarsdale]

56. Ill?

What if a world leader gets rotten food there, and becomes ill? The entire country would be blamed. He needs to keep his saggy ass in the WH for a change.

[Ilsa]

4. For $200,000, you can have food poisoning, too!

I hope there's plenty of toilet paper at the resort for all of the diarrhea.

[sheshe2]

62. I will betcha....

Donnie does not wash his hands after using his gold plated toilet either. Eeeew!

[lpbk2713]

5. Trump is too cheap to provide hot water ...

for staff to wash their hands.


"The other violations weren’t so serious. Those included the fact water at
the sink where employees wash their hands was too cold to sanitize hands."

[barbtries]

15. that is very serious to me.

yuck!

[Alice11111]

47. Fits exactly my impression

[SummerSnow]

51. he probably makes his staff burn a cauldron of hot water over an open fire in the back.

[Leghorn21]

6. I'm flashing on "South of the Border" in SC, an old tourist trap on I95, just south of the NC line -

as a kid riding by it in the 60's, omg, did I want to go into that wondrous roadside attraction!!

Daddy was a Marine, though, and he ran a tight schedule on road trips, so no, we never stopped (sob)

So finally I'm all grown up, and at age 23 or whatever, some friends and I stop in and WOW what a dung heap, right? Everything smelled, was just barely functional, workers there were soooo depressed...major bummer! - anyhow, dft's kitchen is reminding me of the reality behind the shiny, come-hither front that is propped up by some really depressed kitchen staff, stinking fish and two broken coolers -

PHEW!! Talk about NASTY!

[bathroommonkey76]

9. South of the Border stopped caring in the 1980s

I doubt I'd ever eat there again-- My parents used to stop there when we made trips to Myrtle Beach and Florida. For us kids it was a wonderland with a giant sombrero!

[Leghorn21]

16. Pedro!! - I am too jealous for words, monkey - as a kid, I would have been transformed, no doubt!!

As a young adult...heartbroken...

Glad you got to be there before it went down the tubes, jealousy notwithstanding!

[world wide wally]

34. I never sausage a place!

[Warpy]

54. It was built to look shabby, IMO, and didn't look any better

when my folks sped past it in the 50s. About the only thing that guy spent real money on were his billboards, which were everywhere. Like Asshole, he was great on marketing but too cheap to deliver anything.

I never did go there, and I certainly wouldn't have trusted the food, not even as a kid. Peanut butter on Wonder Bread for me, thanks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_of_the_Border_(attraction)

(I hadn't realized it had started as a place to buy beer just south of a dry county)

[bathroommonkey76]

57. Here in NC it's always been known as the place to buy illegal fireworks.

NC doesn't have the "good" kind of fireworks for the 4th of July like SC.

My family stopped so we could go up onto the sombrero-- I remember it being a "WTF kinda place is this!!" as a kid.

[Warpy]

58. My folks lived in the western part of the state about 25 miles from the border

so my dad was always well stocked with illegal fireworks, which he invariably set off at midnight to scare the hell out of the neighbors.

[Alice11111]

48. Interesting story

[NastyRiffraff]

65. Oh god I remembe South of the Border

I was driving to DC from Florida and there were ENDLESS roadside signs advertising it. I thought it would be cool, HAD to be with all those ads! Like you say, it was a stinking, dirty, depressing place.

[Leghorn21]

66. Ahh, but Nasty, as a bored nine-year-old kid ...all those signs, livening up endless miles of,

you know, "trees"....I loved those signs, I tell you!! - - "antici........PAtion"....and then we'd get there and drive right by it at 60mph, every frickin year...gahhh!

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Just another for the Trump Corporation and

Health inspectors. Call it deferred Health issues much like his deferred brain.

[C_U_L8R]

8. Just one more shrimp Mister Trump

Just one wafer thin little one

[Achilleaze]

10. republicans

sad

[Jeroen]

11. Next on Kitchen Nightmares

Trump as a narcissistic, failed restaurant owner.
It just makes sense.

[Doreen]

22. Gorden Ramsey would

most likely have field day in Trump's restaurants and I am sure the bar rescue guy would have fun also. Showed those places on TV and no one would ever eat there again.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

12. Sounds like the Trump Grill

[TeamPooka]

13. The very best people. nt

[greymattermom]

14. Now we know why he likes his steak well done

with ketchup.

[MagickMuffin]

17. Whew, that was close call

state inspectors decided Mar-a-Lago’s kitchen did meet the minimum standards.

Hopefully anyone eating there will know that the restaurant can stay open because it meets the minimum standards!!!

[lpbk2713]

19. I'm sure the inspectors will hear from Rick Scott.

For even visiting his buddy's ptomaine palace.

[malaise]

31. Florida does not joke with restaurants

They shut lots down until they clean up

[Alice11111]

37. Yeah, but this is the Prez and his mob team

[Doreen]

23. It's what you call a payoff.

[spanone]

18. they have a cheap-ass landlord

[IronLionZion]

20. Brilliant businessman and job creator

Working for that asshole must be depressing

[JBoy]

21. This layout looks like it belongs on bad70'sfood.com

[hatrack]

33. Jesus, who designed that cathouse?

Wretched.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

38. Is that for real? It looks like a banquet on Gilligan's Island.

[JHB]

59. Wrong island. De plane! De plaaaaane!

Each episode guaranteed to keep you glued to your seat... your toilet seat, that is.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

63. Lol. Yep.

[Alice11111]

39. That's his day though. He likes it that way.

While we libs were demonstrating and questioning authority, he was making the big bucks and avoiding the draft. He ran on going back to the good ol days, 50s, 70s, and he appealed to people like himself. I never knew there were so many of them. I bet they love those settings at Mar o Lago.

[bora13]

24. hojo's

there's a howard johnsons, wanna eat some clams?

[TygrBright]

25. But.... Chocolate cake! n/t

[SticksnStones]

44. Yeah, about that cake...

Link to tweet

[CanonRay]

28. I'm pretty sure poisoning the Chinese Premier is not the way to go.

[Alice11111]

41. Maybe he could invite Assad to dinner.

[Thomas Hurt]

29. silly geese, the Winter Phallus is not about food

the only menu that matters is the influence peddling menu.

[Alice11111]

49. Well, he's eating something...getting fatter.

[Thomas Hurt]

30. By the way....

when is Donnie going to open all his businesses up to ICE agents to check documentation....

[mzteaze]

32. But....

He liked the chocolate cake.....

This goes to show that paying more does not insure you well have higher or better quality food or experience. That table makes this place look like a fancy senior home.

[onethatcares]

35. the only thing missing is

the shrubs plastic turkey.

Somebody with photoshop skills please step in.

[BlueStater]

45. For that colossal asshole, I hope it wasn't chocolate he was eating.

[Alice11111]

50. Yuk...

[Warren DeMontague]

36. THE STEAKS HAVE NEVER BEEN HIGHER!

[dalton99a]

67. The very best.

[NastyRiffraff]

69. He sold those steaks through Sharper Image

Yes, Sharper friggin' Image! You can't make this shit up.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

40. I'm sure he can get the Secret Service to spring for new coolers.

Just add it to the $20k in golf cart rental bills we pay.

[Alice11111]

43. He is so bold to do it.

Raising the rent he charged for his camp at Trump Tower, once the general election started, 3x.
Who would even have the nerve. So, nothing surprises me.

[smb]

70. The Secret Service Is Supposed To Prevent These Things

They should bar him from eating there until the place gets a clean bill of health.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

71. Lol. That would be a great visual.

Trump goes to take a bite of shrimp cocktail and the SS tackles him.

[BlueStater]

42. Half-assed like everything else he does. n/t

[Initech]

52. But I thought he made tremendous, tremendous sushi, ok?

[Delmette2.0]

53. Where is s good 'ol Florida sinkhole when you really need one?

[llmart]

55. Well, let's just hope...

he's eating some of this crap and that he gets food poisoning. Or worse.

[democratisphere]

60. Pay more. Get botulism.

Mar-a-Lago Slop House.

[Aristus]

64. Well, if it's got the Trump name on it,

expect quality control issues.

[davsand]

68. I worked for a short time in a country club. Filthy kitchen.

Way back in the early days I worked food and bar and I had the misfortune to take a job in a country club. I've seen a few skanky kitchens in my time, but honestly, I refused to eat the food there. I saw raw meat being mishandled (over raw fruit and salads!), I saw staff standing in that kitchen smoking a cigarette while standing over food, and I can't count the number of times I broke down food buffets that had been standing unchanged for hours. They had a club policy that members had to spend something like $50 per month in the club on food (or else they'd charge it to them anyway!) I used to joke that the $50 fee was for monthly exposure to salmonella.

By the same token, I have been in commercial kitchens that were absolutely clean in every aspect, and paranoid about keeping it that way. It was fast food.

I have no problem believing that Mir-a-lax-o is a gross kitchen.
