You say tomato, they say no more salmonella , I say it's about time!

I knew something was up a month or so ago when I ordered a chicken club sandwich at the Cheesecake Factory and they told me they couldn't serve tomatoes. My husband didn't care, he hates them --- so we didn't give it another thought. Then news broke the next day that there's been a salmonella outbreak on tomatoes. Shocking.

So far, the Food and Drug Administration still hasn't figured out where the little germies came from, but there has been several hundred cases that have risen across the country since April. And now, after a recent trip to Chipotle, I found out that now jalapenos are having a little salmonella outbreak of their own. What's next?!!

Is it a weird coincidence that restaurants warn you of food-borne diseases before the FDA does?! All I know is the Cheesecake Factory has relaxed on their no-tomato policy for a couple of weeks. I guess it's only a matter of time (and lunch trips) before I find out about the next food recall.
