History Main / LethalEatery

* The game ''HectorBadgeOfCarnage'' has Chez [=LeBouffett=]. The place is swarming with flies and if you complain about the meat on your plate the waiter will grab your half eaten meal, dump it back into the buffet cart and then serve you a new plate from the ensuing pile. Hector does some horrifyingly disgusting things in the game but he refuses to eat the food at the restaurant.

* In ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'', it's implied that the customer of a space diner contracted the alien parasite from the food he was served. The scene is an obvious reference to ''Alien'' with John Hurt even reprising the role.

* In ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'', it's implied that the customer of a space diner contracted the alien parasite from the food he was served.

* ''VideoGame/AlphaProtocol'' has a Gelato shop that's actually a front for the NSA (maybe). The place is covered in an inch of grime and the stork clerk/handler walks out of the back licking the gelato scoop and then scrathing himself with it. Mike, who can potentially have 20 years of field experience depending on the background, has a look of muted horror and revulsion on his face.

* The Krusty Krab of ''WesternAnimation/{{SpongeBob SquarePants}}''. Especially in "Born-Again Krabs." Remember how Krabs wanted to sell that old smelly Krabby Patty to save a few cents?

* When WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead work at Burger World, something usually goes wrong. If it isn't that the boys have decided to deep fry some earthworms, it's that Beavis has used the spatula to scratch his jock itch. The two hooligans have come close to burning down the place more than once, and even managed to cause an epidemic from their tainted food at one point.

Lots of comedies feature restaurants and other food service venues with breathtakingly bad public health risks. Food is sold months even years after its expiration date. It's often prepared by an uncouth cook who manages to get a great deal of hair and bodily fluid into whatever he's cooking. This is almost always played for laughs.

* Most of the restaurants in ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'s'' Ankh-Morkpork are like this. A character mentions at one point that trying to have public health laws would be like "installing smoke detectors in Hell."

* ''YouCantDoThatOnTelevision'' has Barth's Burgers, serving the only burgers in town with, as the slovenly chef/proprietor is always proud to point out, "spit in the mixture."

* Panuccis pizza from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' follows this trope, among other things the owner scratches himself with a pepperoni roll, blows his nose with pizza dough, and uses his pizza paddle to spank his employees and kill rats.
** Elzars is also crawling with roaches despite being a gourmet restaurant.
** There's also the Signoid pizza shop. The restaurant uses manure in its pizzas due to a gross ignorance of earth cuisine.

* Every restaurant in InvaderZim is caked in grime and filth and staffed by disgusting uncouth slobs. All part of the hilarious misanthropic atmosphere of InvaderZim.

French-Canadian series Les 2 Minutes du Peuple has "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R5kWlboQVA Snack Bar chez Raymond]]".

Lots of comedies feature restaurants and other food service venus with breathtakingly bad public health risks. Food is sold months even years after its expiration date. It's often prepared by an uncouth cook who manages to get a great deal of hair and bodily fluid into whatever he's cooking. This is almost always played for laughs.

A LeathalEatery may employ a LethalChef or two but in some cases the food tastes alright despite being coated in bacteria.
