So far 2022 has been a better year than most for Metro Phoenix Foods…..Not too many HORRIBLE FRIGHTFUL dishes….But there were a few. I very recently wrote about the next two dishes so if you read my blog then you know where these dishes came from. It’s not my intention to make trouble for any business………(even if they deserve it)…. I tell The Forking Truth….so I mention how my meal was once with the name of the business and once is enough……But these stories and most of the photos are Horrible and Frightful. Halloween time is just that perfect time to share these memories.

Overcooked macaroni and dried up cheese that never was good.

Burnt dried out fish with almost brunt oil filled eggplant.

After this are oldies but NOT goodies.

This was from a fine restaurant in the Biltmore area that is still in business. I do note that the chef that they had at the time left several years ago….By the looks of the polenta on the plate it seems like he might have been pissed off about something.

A certain restaurant on the west side served me a dessert with a hard glob of silicon in it that I had to spit out.

This next one might be the worst thing I ever got from a food truck. It made me scream and I had to spit it out.

It was suppose to be a corned beef egg roll from a food truck that specialized in corned beef. It was dry and awful inside but I still remember that the worst part was the egg roll because it tasted rancid.

Someone in metro Phoenix served me this sandwich.

They are still in business….

Sometimes you go to a restaurant that was very good for several visits………. Then when you eat the food you find out that the chef is no longer with them.

This restaurant closed shorty after I got this horrid dish. It was fishy salmon topped with raw tomato paste flanked by a splat of pureed corn and another splat of corn grits.

I went to a BBQ Restaurant in Phoenix that is still in Business. They served me grits that weren’t cooked.

They also served us meat that was under and still had hard fat on it.

I remember we said something about this but nobody said or did a thing.

A restaurant that is still in business in Peoria served my husband this sandwich.

At the time that restaurant recently changed ownership….It was not great but ok before this……………

It looks like a cinnamon bun but it’s not……….My husband was served a burnt roll somewhere.

This is the worst bulgogi I ever tried……It’s like they threw it in a blender and added cream cheese. It’s like throw up on a skillet.

This Thai Restaurant in Peoria thinks that it’s ok to call a dish fish and serve it without the meat.

I never went back.

This was from a Taco Restaurant that went out of business.

Dry flavorless chicken that might have been microwaved to hard and chewy with some pickled onions and a tortilla that fell apart before it arrived.

This place is still in business in Sun City.

The fish is fishy. The vegetables are obviously from frozen and boiled……I don’t know what happened to the mashed potato. I asked the server why it was green….She didn’t know and asked the chef. She said that he said, “Black pepper turns the potatoes green.”

Maybe my worst Metro Phoenix Restaurant foods came from an Asian Restaurant that I enjoyed on my first visit. I enjoyed the live seafood that was reasonably priced…..So I came back for a second visit….(unfortunately).

We started with some shiitake mushrooms with Asian Greens. They look good BUT….

The sauce is HORRIFYING……Maybe it is suppose to be that way but I can’t stomach a sauce with the consistency of snot……I couldn’t eat this…..Sadly our main dish was worst.

On this visit I didn’t notice the live fish tanks???????? But ordered the rockfish anyway..This was like a fake fish that was impossible to eat….Like solid rubber and tough. I was going to say something to the owner….But my husband said that all was ok so the owner left.

The server didn’t even question on why we didn’t eat the fish and didn’t even ask if we wanted to bring it or the vegetables home……

Then the scary part is that we got a bill for over a hundred dollars for those two plates (We found out they charged $89. for that fish).

These were only a few of the HORRIBLE FRIGHTFUL Foods that was served to me in Metro Phoenix AZ.

Be careful out there and have a Happy Halloween!
