This was taken at 2:30am during an investigation for an automatic fire alarm. The chicken and steak was room temp to the touch. I Made a report to the DOH but never got a response. As someone who also used to work in restaurant, you never know who will see your shortcuts. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ should I report it anywhere else?

Like… It literally takes no effort to thaw meat and stuff. Put it in the fridge, wait a day or two.
What’s so hard about this???
Welcome to MOES!!!!!!
Send the photo to moes corporate. I’m sure that isn’t their official policy. They will kick a franchise owner to the curb for shit like that.
Leave a review on google with the photo.
Raw meat not in water, double fish bucket, sitting above dry stock. Absolute perfection
What state are you in?
Hey just like my recent post. wtf is wrong with people. It’s just so fucking easy to defrost legally and safely.
Man I loves moes but that’s just not acceptable
TikTok. It will definitely get around.
gross man

Like we literally have one person whose job it is to pull meat to thaw every day. You make a par. You pull enough meat for the day into the next. Repeat until you die.
Nice to see salmonella checking into the chat for a *second* time today 🤣🤣
Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Yuk!
You know they have corporate standards as well as DOH! Why? Stupid!
Vile
So wait did you take the photo? Were you there for the alarm investigation?
Dry aged.
What the hell is that orange thing?

thank you for sharing i’m happy i haven’t eaten there in years
We used to have a moes by us 15ish years ago. Went as a family once and it was so bad that we never went back and “wanna go to moes? was always an inside joke with my family.
I worked in a popular bookstore once. We got a rat problem because the Moe’s next door had a worse rat problem.
A place I worked at used to thaw chicken, in a bag, in the non heated oven, overnight. It was for a grocery store deli where they fried the chicken in the morning. I didn’t work in that part of the store. I didn’t stay long, and that was the least of my worries while working there.
There’s still Moe’s? All the ones in my area closed suddenly I assumed they went under or privet equity got to them
Man i was just there
Posting room temp meats is so hot right now
One of my cooks works for Moe’s. If I could give my more hours he would ditch them in a heartbeat for here.
He just stays there because it’s been a constant, I know he’s tired of it.
They poisoned my entire office at my old job. I can believe it.
I went to a Moes 20 years ago. Katy Mills Mall. Ordered an appetizer, and the entire waitstaff disappeared for an hour. I was in my polite to a fault phase, so yes I sat there for an hour waiting. There was no one to flag down. Customers were looking around and making eye contact with each other like ????
Turns out the entire staff had walked. We were all just sitting there in a lawless abandoned Moes politely waiting for food that was never going to be fired.
It’s still so fucking funny to me that it took 30 or so people an hour to clue in that there was not one single employee amongst us lmao
No wonder I’m sitting on the toilet right now.
I worked for Moes for 1 month. During that time, they had me as dishie where I told the manager no less than 3 times that there was no hot water to clean, on the line where I told the manager there was caked up food residue covering most of the floor that wasn’t getting cleaned up at night, doing stock where I saw food had fallen below the racks that was never swept out and was growing a full rainbow of fuzzy creatures, and cleaning the front of the house where I got yelled at for changing the sani bucket that was so gross I couldn’t see the sides of the bucket. They also didn’t bother to call me that they decided not to open after a snow storm so I showed up with no one there. And then they fired me saying they hired three people, just threw them into every station without training, and kept whichever one did the “best” after the first month. So yeah. This doesn’t surprise me at all.
This is a chain that I’ve been sad to see waste away
Why do you have the turret for a Rhino Predator on the food.

Another reason to not fuck with Long Island
The storage area looks *so fucking clean*, too. Can take the time and effort to keep the place spotless, but not figure a simple system out for having product thawed safely. Fucking hell.
The worst food poisoning I’ve ever had was from Moe’s in Dahlonega, Georgia. Just got done with a section of the AT and was starving. We were staying with my wife’s sister, and her husband was going to drive us back to our car the next day. I ended up spending 2 days on the floor of my niece’s bathroom dying. It didn’t help that I hadn’t pooped in 3 days and had been consuming freeze-dried meals, beef jerky, and everclear. Took a week to start feeling normal. Anyways, fuck Moe’s.
My first job was a “cook” to GM of a moes. Now I’ve been in Michelin for years. Always nice to remember where you come from.
Anyways. That’s gross. The corporate team is prob gonna yell at the franchisee and then he’s gonna come and yell at the GM who’s gonna come and yell at the staff. It’ll all be fineeee.
Thanks for the warning!
Well to be fair- it will defrost… 🤢
Lmfao not all Moe’s. I can honestly say tho that working at Moe’s was one of the worst experiences of my life.
I fully support this name dropping. Calling people out specifically should be more of a thing culturally
