I got sick after eating at Fairfax Fare but I'm 99% certain it was the norovirus. I've made sure to be more conscious of hand sanitiz
ing ever since

It is always upsetting if you develop a GI upset when on vacation, but without extensive lab tests on both you and the food at the restaurant, it would be impossible to accurately cast blame on your steak. Even if you had eaten nothing else for the 48-72 hours before, you could just as easily have picked up an enteric illness (like norovirus) from the parks, due to inadequate handwashing.

Hope you feel better soon.

Everybody picks on food poisoning but a virus is much more likely especially in a place with so many people so tightly packed together. Add to that people that are less likely to stay away from the parks if they catch something on their vacation it is even easier for you to pick up a bug.

Most of the people I've known who have gotten true food poisoning have been REALLY, horribly, inconsolably ill for several days - like, at least 3 days. I had two friends who were hospitalized from it. It was no joke and kind of terrifying. Food poisoning can legitimately be fatal if you don't watch it.

I get stomach bugs quite often where I am pretty terribly sick that night, and the next day I still feel sick, gross, dehydrated, and sorta awful, but after that I start to be alright.

I'm terribly sorry you were ill, that's no fun even at home, but especially not while on vacation

What?? A quick serve steak isn't top quality??

The Commissary is modeled after the eateries at movie studios where stars will
eat. It is no wonder that the Golden Age of movies died. This is arguably the worst
eatery in all of WDW. It has a limited menu, and the items are far below average
in quality/taste.
In many eateries, the food "is to die for"; here, food is "to die from"

I really doubt the food made you sick from ABC Commissary; however, I will say that ABC Commissary is IMO absolutely abysmal and the worst of the worst when it comes to QS. I not only tried it once, I was willing to try it again and it was miserable and can you believe I was foolish enough to try it a third time... Never again. Come to think of it, perhaps the OP did suffer food poisoning from this place; I'm getting sick to my stomach as I'm sitting here in front of my monitor thinking of this place.

There is a pretty vicious GI bug running around our area. I am generally not susceptible to these things, but even I got it and it was horrific. Well, a few days afte it hit our house, DH stopped for coffee at the quick market by his work. This little gas station, deli, market sells sandwiches, pastry etc. The cashier looked like death. Turns out she has the bug, but chose to go to work. I know! I know!! She needs the money! But think about it. She handles food and has this nasty germ catapulting around her, handles your food and makes your coffee.

People on vacation sometimes have this mindset. They paid good money for a vacation, and they do not want to miss it. You follow them all over the parks, into restrooms, onto attractions and into the restaurants. As much as we all want to believe that GI thing that we caught was food poisoning, it generally is a virus that someone else gifted us with.
