'Bags of corn tortillas with gnaw marks,' roach on crock pot: 5 restaurants, 1 food truck shut in South Florida

By Kari Barnett | [email protected] | South Florida Sun Sentinel

State inspectors shut five Broward County restaurants and one Palm Beach County food truck last week, with issues ranging from roaches and rodents (droppings found on containers of flour, gnaw marks on sugar packets and rub marks on walls) to a lack of potable running water.

The Sun Sentinel typically highlights restaurant inspections conducted by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation in Broward and Palm Beach counties. We cull through inspections that happen weekly and spotlight places ordered shut for "high-priority violations," such as improper food temperatures or dead cockroaches.

Any restaurant that fails a state inspection must stay closed until it passes a follow-up. If you spot a possible violation and wish to file a complaint, contact Florida DBPR. (But please don't contact us: The Sun Sentinel doesn't inspect restaurants.)
