Haha since there was a best, why not a worst?
Ugh, I remember it was my buddy's graduation party about 10 years ago and they served these watered down noodles and some horrid hanbuger that was the worst thing in the world and nothing has topped (or bottomed) it since that foggy afternoon in Little Egg on a June afternoon.
Bonus: I remember I went to the cheesecake factory on Route 3 and it was so God AWFUL along with the service and when I got my food all for free, I was still pissed.
Hit me
Ate a full meal of pasta, salad, and bread...the whole meal was crap and spent the next 24 hours sick as a dog and vomiting and shitting on the hour
All due respect to those of you who enjoy such exquisite cuisine, but I wouldn't even eat at a restaurant that's next to an Olive Garden, much less ever walk into another one of those hell holes
Try eating dehydrated meat patties or god help me chicken ala king out of a pouch for weeks on end at times.
That's why I never complained about Spam and fake eggs whenever we got them in the field.
Tuna Noodle Casserole was one of her staples when I was growing up.....it was about 3 levels below Tuna Helper. I'd just salt and pepper the living shit out of it.

Loool
They even managed to screw up toast.
When my wife was pregnant with our first (so, just over 10 years ago), we were staying by her Mom in Manhattan Beach one weekend, which is right near the Sheepshead Bay establishment. Neither of us had been to Roll N Roaster in many years and she was eating very healthy for the most part, so it was surprising when she declared she was craving it.
I cam home with a killer order of roast beef, burgers, and cheese fries. We were enjoying it in a very guilty pleasure kind of way. Then we each got so sick with the worst stomach cramps and truly horrible and disgusting shits. It was so bad that we briefly thought the baby might be in danger. Needless to say, we have never gone back to this Brooklyn staple since.
My current mother-in-law is a close second with her re-re-cooked ham and fuzzy green beans.
As far as restaurants go, Pei Wei- I found a band aid in the meal they put on our table, which was wrong and the person who the meal belonged just picked it out and ate it. We asked for a refund and skipped lunch.
Golden Corral- The restaurant smelled so bad it activated my gag reflex. It was summer and it reeked of sweat, diapers, ammonia and fat people. My wife who is painfully clean found a pile of something we assumed was human hair in her food and she screamed and we ran out of there.

Loool
Same scenario with our family, but our staple something unrecognizable that we just referred to as "Beef Shit"
Ugh
holy crap.
I had a bacon BBQ chicken sandwich there once during spring break, stoned as fuck -- and I declared it was the best meal Id ever had.... At that time.
If this is an effort to bail out olive garden, don't bother
Not good poisoning, but a similar experience with gin. Never really recovered from a 19-year-old's binge. Won't drink the stuff. Ever.

White Castle is great
It was during Lent, so right away I knew there would be no meat, which is a nightmare for someone who isn't a big seafood fan. I went with what I considered to be the safest option, which was a "fried fish & chips" meal.
The batter on the fish was greasy and soggy, the fish itself was slimy and raw. Took one bite, spit it out, and moved on to the fries, which were also cold and disgusting. It's like they were trying to punish us for being younger than 70 - my brother had the same thing, and the other fish dishes ordered by my cousins were equally terrible.
Never have I been happier to see an Applebees, which was in the same complex as our hotel. That was like eating a gourmet meal compared to the crap we'd been served at the party.
Her parents, not so much. They boiled a turkey. Boiled it. Boiled turkey looks and tastes grey.

i boil/poach chicken for my toddler because of the health benefits but agree it is very nasty looking and bland.
Oh wait, what is the question again?

I'm generally not picky and normally if I go out even if I don't like something I still eat it. And even if I don't, after having worked in the restaurant industry as a youth, I will almost never ever send something back. Under any circumstances. In fact I cannot imagine any situation where I'd send a meal back to a restaurant kitchen I don't care what I am paying or what the problem is.
I did have a girlfriend in high school whose mother reminded me of the mom in Better Off Dead. She was a terrible cook, but that's not why I was there so I didn't care. I did make the tactical mistake of one time telling her how much I liked her spaghetti and canned clam sauce (the red clam sauce) (it was brutal, but she loved the compliment), so practically every time I ate dinner over there after that (which was often) she made that same thing and i had to eat it.
Otherwise I got nothing.
