Another rodent heavy week at the Sick and Shut Down List, but one featuring a local and two national chains.
So, let’s get our list of South Florida restaurant inspection failures. First, some quick reminders:
This covers Miami-Dade, Monroe, Broward and Palm Beach counties, but not every county has restaurants failing inspection every week.
We don’t decide who gets inspected nor do we do the inspecting. Both are done by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation from customer complaints and a schedule of routine inspections.
We do this without passion or prejudice, but with a little humor and judgment.
In alphabetical order:
Champet Restaurant and Bar, 7920 Pines Blvd., Pembroke Pines: Complaint inspection, 10 total violations, five High Priority violations.
