One promises 5-star meals. Another is a well-known bagel shop. And one serves millions of cups of coffee each year. But last week, Victory Restaurant & Lounge, H&H Bagels in Pinecrest, and a Dunkin’ in Miami all landed on the state’s emergency closure list after inspectors documented serious violations, including a dead rodent, dozens of live flies, and more than 100 rodent droppings.
At Victory alone, inspectors documented more than 100 rodent droppings in multiple areas, including where food was stored and clean dishes were kept.
As with all emergency closures, the shutdowns were temporary. Each restaurant was allowed to reopen after completing the required cleanup and passing a follow-up inspection.
No restaurants or food service establishments in Broward County or the Florida Keys were ordered shut last week.
