02/04/10: *Caution this Recipe May Contain Raw Ingredients…
Some of you may have heard the news this week that the Pegu Club on Houston Street was cited by the NYC Department of Health for serving drinks with raw egg. Well, actually they were cited for not informing customers that drinks had raw egg in them. Of course that doesn’t really make sense because it is stated on the menu. The story is a little muddy, but you can read it for yourself: NY Times.
Personally it sounds to me like the Health Inspector had one too many $13 MarTEAnis and needed a way to expense it back to the Department; that’s your tax dollars at work.
A few years back I remember talk of the ban on runny eggs in New Jersey; I’ve definitely had runny eggs in NJ, so I’m not gonna get too worked up about this. Enjoy!
