  • Sushi safety questioned in Tampa

    Posted: May 24th, 2012 - 3:42am by Doug Powell

    Restaurant violations are nothing new. The shocking bits of this story is that there are 100 sushi restaurants in the Tampa area alone; and that sushi is considered “healthy and nutritious.”

    The I-Team at ABC Action News reviewed the inspection reports of 100 sushi restaurants in the bay area over the last year and found serious critical violations that could make you or your family sick.

    That includes raw tuna at 61 degrees, raw shrimp and fish over cooked tempura, which is a cross contamination issue and restaurants that had to throw out food because they were at hazardous temperatures. We also look at one sushi restaurant that tops the list in critical violations.

  • Obama dines at critically filthy Miami restaurant

    Posted: August 27th, 2010 - 3:01am by Doug Powell

    President Barack Obama got a sandwich at Jerry's Famous Deli in Miami last week, which was slapped with 26 restaurant violations for all types of uncleanliness by a state inspector on Monday.

    The restaurant inspection comes less than a week after Obama made his to-go order of two corned beef sandwiches on rye.

    An inspector stopped the sale of cooked meatballs after he found raw meat sitting out in the open in unsafe temperatures. Employees were also seen handling meat and bread without gloves and without washing their hands properly.

  • Noodletown shut down due to health violations

    Posted: March 23rd, 2010 - 4:02pm by Doug Powell

    New York Chinatown legend, Great NY Noodletown, was forced to close on Friday night.

    A February inspection turned up evidence of insects, roaches and mice in the Noodletown's food and/or non-food areas, and, according to Eater NY, pinged the restaurant for its storage of delicious meats that hang behind the counter.

    Where the DOH finds fault, Noodletown's devoted customers find flavor. The 50 violation points from February required a follow-up visit, which apparently didn't go so well, and the restaurant remains closed. Luckily, the shut down is happening now and not during soft-shell crab season, one of Noodletown's specialties.

    I find fault. Shut them down.
