The Sick and Locked Down List of restaurant assessment problems results after a week of absence, big on the standing water but light on the rabbits.
So let’s see who did n’t pass muster in , Miami-Dade,  , Broward , and , Palm Beach , counties.
We do n’t choose who gets inspected and we do n’t do the inspecting. That’s done by the , Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Immediately address any concerns about restaurants there.
We do this without interest or discrimination, but with a little laughter and a jump of judgment.
In alphabet get:
Benihana,  , 3261 SW 160th Ave.,  , Miramar: Statement assessment, two entire transgressions, one High Priority infraction.
” Floor places covered with standing water”. Where? ” The dining area place, below customers ‘ tables and seats, the bar area, the back desk facing the rice place, the home area”.
And calling it” standing water” does n’t completely describe the composition.
” Sewage/wastewater was backing upward through floor empties” in the bar area, sushi place, outside the back gate, the four drainage in the kitchen area and two drainage in the microwave place -bar place.
” Discovered individual stepping on wastewater. One individual was peeling natural shrimps” while standing in wastewater.
Benihana , chopped the problem down to length and passed examination the next day.
El Mariachi,  , 1937 N. Military Trail, Unincorporated Palm Beach County: Routine observation, 13 total transgressions, 10 High Priority violations.
About 10 life bugs were crawling on the inside of an unoccupied walk-in cooler/freezer. On a home power outlet, two more roaches were active. On the three-compartment fall and the rear of a chest freezer, there were two additional insects in the kitchen.
An individual “went from handling stained dishes to washing hands with no soap at the three-compartment fall to serving food”
For proper handwashing, you do n’t need Lava, but you do need some actual soap — which the kitchen handwash sink lacked along with paper towels.
Employees “washed food storage containers with shampoo, rinsed them with water, and then reused for food store without sanitizing.” That works at home, but not in a diner.
Despite spending the night in a walk-in cooler, which was evidently about as great as your fantastic friend’s grey Chrysler Polara, the inspector dropped a Stop Sale on roasted seeds, 55 degrees.
The examination was completed the following day.
Fritanga Monimbo Kendall,  , 7173 SW 117th Ave., Kendall: Routine observation, 21 full violations, five High Priority transgressions.
Issues started at both above and below.
Seven flies “flying around kitchen prep places.”
Water-damaged dining area ceiling stones.
” Food stored under dripping water series … at a reach-in cool located in the kitchen, by the major gate”.
Standing water was observed below by the inspector as” standing water slowly draining into the ground dump” and” standing water under the three-compartment fall in the kitchen area.”
Insects climbed up a bathroom walls, a walls near the stove, and on a blender in a house training board.
The inspector observed two insects moseying up a wall close to the three-compartment drop during the call examination the following time. The inspector likewise discovered two rat bodies under the three-compartment fall and five dying roaches on the broom sink from the previous week pest control visit.
That’s also a re-inspection-killing infraction. Fritanga did n’t get back open until passing the re-re-inspection.

Lemon Peppers,  , 2701 NW 54th St.,  , Miami: Routine observation, 18 total transgressions, three High Priority violations.
” Unpleasant aromas in the walk-in cool”.
Five insects were” crawling on a bag of maize meal,” according to two others, while two people were doing the same thing with a bag of flour over in dry store.
The warewashing area’s “warewashing area’s ceiling exhaust and tiles were heavily soiled with dirt” were the claim. The roof vent above the cookline reach-in cooler was” soiled with a dark material”.
The cookline training cooler’s cutting committee had stains on it.
You could n’t dry your hands at the handwash sink.
The following morning, Lemon returned pushing fish and crab after receiving” Follow Up Inspection Required.”
Mi Fondita Cafeteria Restaurant,  , 6059 Johnson St.,  , Hollywood: Complaint observation, 10 complete violations, two Great Priority violations.
The manager was unable to remove the two roaches because they went into the walls behind the sink cover when they were discovered on the backside of the kitchen’s handwashing fall.
Two dead insects, one on the ground “at the deep end of the bar in the dining room”.
Places of standing water that have not been adequately dried after mopping are on the kitchen floor.
The front of the cookline had “heavy sand buildup” at times in the kitchen roof.
The next day’s re-inspection went little better.
Osman Restaurant,  , 514 NE 167th St.,  , North Miami Beach: Routine observation, 14 full transgressions, one High Priority violation.
This year’s Amityville Award Winner for its fly is another passage in , North Miami Beach ‘s , Wretched Restaurant Row,  , 167th Street/163rd Street , from the Golden Glades pasta dish to , Biscayne Boulevard.
The sprayer in the clean storage space dropped over 15 dead fly, which remained in the zapper’s owner. Over 35 flies emptied the dry storage heat before the zapper’s fate was avoided, 10 of which were on the wall by the house handwash drop, over eight wholanded on dirty dishes, three in the dining area, and one who cut into the reach-in cool.
” A peculiar odor emanated from the clean store area.”
The kitchen handwash sink did n’t have any soap.
” The inside of the oven/microwave has an accumulation of dark substance/grease/food dirt”.
Osman completed the re-inspection the following morning.
