Like many offices and workplaces, this past Tuesday, we had our Thanksgiving Lunch here at Townsquare Media. The Lunch was held at around 11:30a, and I didn't get to work until later that afternoon. However, the Food, (for the most part), was properly refrigerated, and I was able to make myself a plate, and partake in the FEAST at around 5:30p, (6 hours later, no worries).

Then on Wednesday, there was still plenty of food in the work fridge, so I repeated the process, and made myself a 2nd Plate. Since everything was only a day old, and refrigerated, I figured that I would be ok. (And I was, because after nuking everything in the microwave, the food came out tasting GREAT again).

Now, it's Friday, (I had the day off yesterday, so I was able to eat some FRESH Thanksgiving Day food at the house), and there's STILL some Food in the Fridge. The Question is: Am I OK Making Myself A Plate 3 Days Later? Or Do I RiskThe Chance Of Getting Some Food Poisoning? 

This is a difficult decision to make, because I'm REALLY hungry, but at the same time, I don't want to contact a bad case of Botulism! What I want to know is: How Long Are Holiday Leftovers Good For? (At 3 days after, I'm probably walking a dangerous line right now).

Do I say "No"? or Do I throw caution to the wind and say "Yes"?

I can't decide, so I'll flip a coin here, "Heads" I eat, "Tails" I sit this one out. Here Goes........It's HEADS! 

I let you know how this turns out. But if you happen to listen to my show this weekend, and happen to hear some "Dead Air", there's a good chance that I'm getting reacquainted with my old pal, "Sal Monella!"

Happy Thanksgiving!
