  • Yummy House closed for yummy cockroaches in Vegas

    Posted: January 20th, 2012 - 11:46pm by Doug Powell

    The aptly named Yummy House took on a new meaning after the Las Vegas eatery was closed when health types found at least one employee not washing hands properly; blockage in hand sink; hand sink was leaking; pink, slimy growth found on inside of ice machine; a white, fuzzy, mold-like growth on produce, food stored at the wrong temperature and no working thermometer in the refrigerator.

    Containers of food were also not labeled properly and some were stored on the floor. Containers were double stacked and missing lids. Also, equipment including metal pans were severely dented and the staff was reusing single-use plastic cups.

    The Health District told KTNV that the owners have decided to close indefinitely and are not sure if they will reopen.

  • Cockroaches take over Australia restaurant, force closure

    Posted: April 12th, 2011 - 5:31am by Doug Powell

    Cockroaches took over the kitchen and dining areas of a Canberra restaurant, spilled on to customers, ran across food preparation areas and left feces behind counters and fridges.

    Z Brasserie manager Nicole Maddock told the Canberra Times, ''[When] eating staff meals we'd have cockroaches running across our plates.” Fifteen staff have lost their jobs due to the closure.

    The restaurant said the landlord, the Hyperdome Shopping Centre, had failed to fix the problem.

    Z Brasserie owner Debbie Wentworth-Shields said after months of battling centre management the issue came to a head last week when she removed a picture from a wall and inadvertently showered a customer's child with cockroaches.

  • Dubai inspectors close four restaurants

    Posted: March 6th, 2010 - 6:09am by Doug Powell

    Maybe this was because Chapman and all those food safety types were in town, but four restaurants in Dubai were shut down two weeks ago following tips from customers and employees.

    Ahmed AbdulRahman al Ali, the head of the municipality’s food inspection section, said the offenders were also slapped with a fine of more than Dh30,000, adding,

    

“The restaurants have been shut for a month. After finishing the penalty term, they have to convince us that the food being used is safe. They will also have to sign an agreement to not repeat the offence.”
