This week’s Dirty Dining inspections uncovered some stomach-turning surprises!
The unsavory surprises included roaches in the rice, rodent droppings, flies contaminating food, a sewage backup in a food prep area, and even a restaurant with no sink or dishwasher to clean its dishes. Inspectors ordered the kitchens to clean up and fix the problems.
No kitchens in Broward or the Florida Keys were ordered shut last week.
All the places listed were allowed to re-open following an ordered cleanup and then a re-inspection.
