But how close to the 2 hours is still safe? I brought home a doggy bag from a restaurant today, cooked chicken, shrimp and vegetables. It sat out on their table and then in my car.... and it was about 1 hour and a half to 1 hour and 45 minutes until it got inside my refrigerator. I do plan to reheat before eating tomorrow.Is food REALLY safe to eat if it is almost at the 2 hours until it is refrigerated?</blockquote>
