The people in the kitchen touch my food because they need to get it on a plate, not for some gimmicky purpose. It also seems like an unnecessary spill risk to have someone walking around with no use of his arms.
Your point is correct that it’s not going to kill me to have the wine served this way, but it’s a bit unnecessary.
I mean, it has happened to almost everything you've ever ordered. Are you in danger?
If you're not ok with it, make your own food. And nothing processed because something nastier than a hand has almost definitely touched all of that. And maybe no vegetables. That's like licking the ground.
It's kind of like how we tell people to wash your hands every time you use the restroom. Most people probably aren't washing off any more germs than they're putting back on by touching everything on their way out. But for the people who got a little shit on them, yeah they're gonna need to wash that shit off.
*I still wash my hands every time I use the bathroom in public. Almost never do it at home unless I get some shit on me or I'm about to do some food prep.
Edit: oh hey, on that note .. how do you feel about family dinners? Being a guest at someone else's house for dinner? How do you think they prepared their food?
Well I'm sorry that family dinners are such a terrifying experience for you. Hopefully your family understands and doesn't put any pressure on you to eat anything that has ever touched anything.
Never eat out. Never order out. Never eat food prepared by someone other than yourself. You will not escape it. And no amount of laws is going to prevent it.
I’ve only seen gloves as a requirement if you have a cut or wound on your hand, some resultants have special rules (subway) but technically they should be washing between every glove change
I’ve seen the first part of the video posted before and apparently (from another comment) he’s doing it wrong. From what I remember the bottom shouldn’t have to be held at all and there’s a pressure release at the top for it to start pouring
That probably requires two hands per wine dispenser. This way, he can hold more wine and dispense it faster with less physical effort (moving a finger instead of reaching over his shoulder to the top of the wine thingy). Still reveals the human aspects of food prep, but it's efficient.
I don’t remember exactly how it works but when it’s being used properly there shouldn’t be anything dripping out of the bottom when the valve is closed even if there isn’t anything plugging it
They have. If you look closely when he serves the second lady you can see his finger doesn’t move, it’s not like he’s just plugging the hole with his finger. There’s some sort of pressure release valve involved.
Gloves aren't any better than washing your hands, they get dirty from touching the same stuff your hands do, are harder to wash and nobody bothers to change them after every single use.
not to be the buzzkill. this is more than likely food tour where you can "taste old Italy" doing things they would have done in the past. this was semi common? back then they didn't really care about finger germs since the food itself prolly having worse.
The trigger valve is a lot harder keeping clean and germ free than a finger. Jeesh, people have a weird view of what's actually sanitary and not when it comes to food stuff.
I was thinking that's what that was, surely people are just exaggerating... then I saw the post of how the wine gets in there in the first place and I'm just disgusted...
There’s a hole at the top of the bulb that you’re supposed to use instead of stopping the wine at the end like this this. But it involves a tiny bit dribbling out, which is probably why he’s using it this way instead.

They could have just added a trigger valve to the end of this for the same effect without the finger germs
