'Famous Food' restaurant re-opening after closure for cockroaches
Posted: September 10th, 2011 - 5:50pm by Doug Powell
All fame is fleeting. And attention can sometimes be unwanted.
TMZ.com reports that Lemon Basket -- the restaurant that was at the center of the VH1 show "Famous Food" -- is re-opening tonight after being closed for a few 
days thanks to a little problem ... with cockroaches.
According to our sources, the restaurant -- located on Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood -- was shut down for a couple of days after being cited for health violations involving "cockroach infestation."
