I've been there a lot of times and eaten or not, and not gotten sick. The
last two times, though, when we ate there, we were unwell afterwards. We
actually had a fun time. They had another couple over and they were quite
entertaining.

Two times in a row is what worries me. Once, I could say it was an
accidental occurrence. Some bad meat or something. Twice makes me worry
about future meals.
