Food was incredible, but Grey Dog Diner still gets one star. This is not hyperbole:
I sat at the bar (overlooking the kitchen) for 45 minutes to have brunch. I watched the cook the entire time (who also happens to OWN the place!). She cooked without gloves, never washed her hands once, ATE on the line, RUBBED her face and arms and picked her pants out of...well, and wiped her hands incessantly on her dirty apron.
EVERYONE else that worked in the kitchen wore gloves. The owner, for some reason, feels she can transcend that rule. It's one thing to cook without gloves (as many chefs do), but follow proper hand washing techniques. This behavior blows the lid off of proper food handling techniques that every cook should employ, as it is not just a matter of grossness but is a matter of public health responsibility.
