MA: I am totally cofused by what you are saying. A table becomes treif because a KLI SHENI is on there?
1. According to those that a KLI SHENI is not mevashel how can the table become treif?
2. Is the plate actually a KLI SHEINI? It is only a safeik (unless you were in the kitchen) since they may transfer the cooked items from the KLI RISHON to some other dish BEFORE plating the dish. If that is the case then the plate swerved to the customer is a KLI SHLISHI and R’ Moshe TZATZAL holds a KLI SHLISI is not mevashel.
3. If two strangers, 1 eating meat and 1 eating dairy can sit at the same table together without a some sort of heker between them AND two people who know each other under the same circumstances can sit at the same table with a heker why can’t this be done in a public restaurant?
4. What year did you visit this restaurant?
