Dirty Dining

Roaches crawling behind kitchen equipment. Rodent issues. Food prepared at home and brought in to be served. And a restaurant ordered shut down for the third time.

Local 10 has compiled a list of restaurants that racked up 30 or more violations during recent state inspections.

Last week, inspectors with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation ordered three restaurants shut down, including The Original Pancake House in Miami-Dade County, which racked up an alarming 46 violations.

No one sees 100 rodent droppings in the kitchen, right? Well, state inspectors with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation did.

These restaurants racked up 30 or more violations during recent state inspections.

Roaches, roaches, and more roaches!

The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation ordered Patrizia’s in Deerfield Beach, Hoagie Bear Subs in Naranja, and Soriano Brothers Cuban Cuisine & Marketplace in Palmetto Bay to shut down last week after inspectors uncovered widespread sanitation problems.

While these establishments were not ordered shut for rodent and roach issues, the number of violations found by inspectors is unacceptable.

State inspectors ordered several South Florida restaurant kitchens to shut down last week after uncovering conditions that put you at risk.

Several South Florida restaurants are getting more than just good reviews, they’re earning perfect scores from state food safety inspectors, and recognition for doing things the right way.

Dirty Dining is never fun, but it really stings when one of my longtime favorites ends up on the list.
