So, I got the worst food poisoning in my adult life at this location. It was wretched and I basically thought I was dying. IT WAS THAT BAD. I had to take TIME OFF WORK to recuperate. I am 99.9% sure it was here, as a friend who ordered a green juice that same day became absurdly sick as well. But that's the gamble you take when you eat raw or raw vegan at establishments that apparently are way lax on their food safety standards. Ugh ugh ugh.
The sad part of all of this was that I was a huge fan of Fresh for YEARS. I went to all the locations in Toronto and devoured the Buddha Bowl like a god damned HAMBEAST really often. It was probably my most favourite take out meal. But JAYSUS, all those wonderful glittery moments of me with my Buddha Bowl were washed away as a demonic force from vegan hell began to over take my insides and made me regret ever being born.
I went back to air my grievances and the manager was apologetic and a good listener. She heard me out and offered a voucher for like...a smoothie or another meal? I didn't even bother asking for a refund because I didn't want anything to do with them; I was just hoping that my experience would make them tighten their food handling standards.
GOODBYE FRESH. WE HAD GOOD TIMES, BUT YOU BETRAYED ME.
