Food poisoning sucks, I got ill from the same thing Nick did. It was 2+ weeks of hell.
I like to refer to it as "Truck Stop".

Sushi. sperry got it too. The place we got sick at actually got shut down for a little while. I could name 8+ people who got sick there. If only I would have know that before I went there.

I think it comes down to preparation of the food. Someone became lax (not EX-lax 
). My brother and I both got food poisoning from Jimboy's Tacos. The effects showed up more than 8 hours after we ate and became increasingly worse for the next 4 hours after that. We called the county health department and they sent an inspector to check it out (they are shortstaffed due to budget cuts - great!). Tests came back negative but we were told that a common thing in places like that are cooking oil used in the deep fryers that have been allowed to cool to room temperature and then re-used again. The bacteria is not killed off sufficiently by re-heating and gets into the food.
All it takes is a simple screw-up or a shortcut taken by an employee and you can get food poisoning. I've even observed a customer at buffets dropping a serving utensil on the floor and then after informing an employee about it, the utensil is picked up from the floor and placed right back into the food! I told the manager after that and he understood.
