Toronto Chinatown restaurant reopens
Doug posted the initial story about this eatery last week. The Toronto Star is reporting today that the "Rat-plagued" Dumpling House at 328 Spadina Ave. is now open again.
The Star reports that the restaurant was closed over the long weekend and management was told it would have to comply with health regulations, including disinfecting the premises and contacting a pest-control operator.
The best part (and not really surprising) of the story to me is this:
While the incident will cost Chu around $10,000 in cleanup and closing costs, he says he's not concerned. Even with a sign outside alerting people to the infestation, he had to turn people away. "I have gotten calls of support all day. It's touching. I just want to cry."
Wonder how much of an effect posting restaurant grades/advisories really has on consumer preferences (especially if it is your favourite spot).

Michael Chu, the manager of the Dumpling House was cited as saying he wanted to deal with the vermin problem, adding,"If the city didn't shut us down, I would have closed."
