...no. In a restaurant, if the food is at room temp for over 4 hours. Or more specifically, btwn 40-140 for more than 4 hours it is a violation of the health code to serve it. If you nuke it, it is much safer. That is, if you reheat to above 165 degrees most of the bacteria will be killed. However, some bacteria can leave behind toxic waste (HA!). That said, I'm sure it's fine, but were I in a restaurant I'd not risk my establishments well-being by serving it.

I'M SERVESAFE CERTIFIED PEOPLE!!!!!

I'M ALSO UNBANNABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
