Buffet Baddies: Dishes You Shouldn’t Touch with a Ten-Foot Fork!
Oysters Are Outlawed!
Raw oysters at a buffet might seem like a luxury catch, but they’re more like Russian roulette on ice. These slippery delicacies are notorious for harboring Vibrio vulnificus, a bacteria that doesn’t play nice, especially with folks having liver issues, diabetes, or immune challenges.
The Virginia Department of Health waves a big red flag, advising those with pre-existing health conditions to steer clear of raw oysters. Why? This could be the difference between a gourmet adventure and a hospital stay for them. If you’re unsure those oysters are as fresh as the ocean breeze, ignore them. Better safe than sorry when navigating the buffet sea.
