REPORT BACKS ON THE NO GO ZONE

Today I come to you with two report backs on two complaints I made knowledge in my blogs. The first came from Casa Da Galinha who in my previous blog, was taken over by the Cod Father and re-named the Cow Father, and our time there was horrific and extremely unpleasant.

Well I am pleased to inform you that they closed, reopened and back under their first name Casa Da Galinha, And I visited there the other weekend besides some minor hiccups with over eager waiters and them all wanting or thinking they were working on our table, but I am happy to report back that the evening was very nice, the food was better but a wine base for pork ribs in their sauce was not something I would want to taste on my ribs, especially as I’m not a big drinker in the first place but the cozy atmosphere was back, from being welcomed in by the managers and staff to them all seeing us off when we left. But all in all I give them a one thumbs up.

The other report back I have is from MacDonald’s Woodmead. I don’t know if you recall my previous blog where I was getting sick from MacDonald’s food.

 

 Well after my blog I got a call from MacDonald’s Head office and the Woodmead Branch urgently trying to find out more about what had happened to me, as well as they wanted to invite me to see the running’s of the branch. After many phone calls and discussions, they called the health and safety people out to have a look at their one grill, and it turned out to be a setting on the grill that was preventing the food from getting to the desired heat so that it can be good for our bodies to consume.

Also I was invited around for a tour of the MacDonald’s in Woodmead and got to see every little detail, From where the food is packed and how, to how many patties they can cook at a time, to the toasting of the bread roll, to the perfection of the garnish, everything. I spent the afternoon with some of the Managers and we had lunch, and this time I was not ill.

Whilst I was at this branch there were a whole bunch of renovations taking place. They were making the restaurant bigger, as well as they putting in a Mac Café’, which will be great for those who want to, go for a quick coffee and do some work.

All and all I would say that both these venues, Casa de Galinha and MacDonald’s Rivonia have picked up there game since my last visit and I am comfortable to say they are now “Go zones”.
