Very good post to have around. Raw chicken is quite possibly the most revolting food I can think of. Thanks!

Ugh, the subject line turned my stomach. Yup, always probe your meat before you eat it.

i heard there was a japanese restaurant in san francisco that serves chicken sashimi, and i thought this link was about that restaurant.

me too. A buddy of mine is a pretty high level chef at a hotel resort thing in Sunpeaks. He wants to go to Japan to learn how to do that right and not kill people... Apparantly you basically have to raise/slaughter the birds yourself and be damned careful.
