Lynn, i have eaten in many places in my 49 years and I am here to talk about it.  Unless they go into every place on Long Island and in New York City, i will not stop eating in restaurants.  There is no way to be completely safe anywhere, not even at home, but I am much more relaxed about that than many people I know.  I do have high standards, make no mistake, but I don't worry about things I can't control.  There just isn't enough time.  The Subways out here have fresh food, but every time I go near one, there is a smell, an odor, not an aroma, that smells like someone has been sick in there.  I don't know where it comes from.  My son likes it because he goes on scout trips and he has to bring his dinner quite often, so we stop and get a sandwich and chips and a soda.  One stop shopping, cheap and made the way he likes. So, relax, enjoy the food and the company and don't think too much about  anything else!
