After all the prep, cooking and caring for the food.. the unthinkable happens. It gets dropped...
My gyro log rolled off the cutting board as soon as I took it off the egg. Smacked the ground good.. *slap*! I was like Bruce Lee - I grabbed that bad boy almost on the bounce. You are the only souls who know.. I served of course and it was fine.
I've done worse where the food gets thrown out - dropped a plate of homefries and that doesn't pick up fast or cleanly.

A few years back (pre-BGE) we had friends from out of town visiting. I run outside to throw a few racks of ribs on the drum smoker. I set the tray down on the rickety folding table next to the smoker and the table collapses.
I fumble and grab 2 of the 3 racks, but the third hits the grass/dirt meat side down. I look up at my friend's 14yo son who came out to help me, and he says "meh, they'll never know". I scooped the rack off the ground, picked off the bigger pieces of grass, and threw it on.
Possibly my best ribs ever.
I figure my kitchen floor is never that filthy or grody.

I personally am not offended by the chance of a speck or two of dirt, though some of my wife's family would be. We had a dairy for many years, there's not much that hasn't splattered into an open mouth at an unsuspecting moment. 2 seconds, 5 seconds, a minute, it could be a lot worse. No need to throw good food away, unless one of the wife's lap rats had just left their mark there beforehand.
