  • It’s a combo platter tonight for Dirty Dining. A buffet restaurant that wasn’t making the grade and a dollar store that’ll give you the heeby-jeebies. Darcy Spears reports.

      Yeah, I was gonna say, the owner/manager here is super contrite and seems to at least understand that he needs to acknowledge the problem at least on camera.
      Like, a really really low bar to clear, kinda common sense really, but so many managers and owners on this series don't seem to understand. I've worked in kitchens before, it's all sensible and pretty easy to comply with. This man at least seems to understand that there were problems and unlike other managers and owners in this series, he doesn't dismiss them or try and dispute that they had quality control issues.

    These non-compliance are very common even among caucasian owned restaurants, the TV stations just discriminate and make public coverage on chinese shops, u won't be surpised they are the same or worst inspection finding in these western shops. However chinese restaurants do have more such bad hygiene pratices. But the problem is TV stations arent showing other restaurants, its too biased.

    My late father was a meter reader for the electric utility in Toronto, Canada. This was "back in the days" when all meters were inside and in basements. He ALWAYS had horror stories about the filth and unsanitary conditions of Chinese restaurants, especially the ones in the downtown area. He saw, over the years, dead rats and mice, live rats, mice and insects crawling over crates of vegetables, "tons" of rat and mouse sh*t on floors, overflowing toilets and even a few dead cats. He always assumed that the dead cats were next day's Chef's Special. True story, my friends.

    Here's another story. Years ago, while attending Community College in Toronto, I drove taxi on Friday and Saturday nights. (It was safe back then.) One evening, I received a radio dispatch to pick up a take out order at a Chinese restaurant on Danforth Avenue. While waiting at the side kitchen door for the order, I saw two kitchen workers using a pail, situated beside a crate of vegetables, as a urinal. There was lots of "splashing" onto the vegetables. When done, they just "gave it a shake," zipped up and went back to cooking without hand washing. I left without the order and contacted my dispatcher. I found out the following week that he had called the customer and she was grateful that I left without the order. When I called the City Health Department on Monday to tell them what I saw, the person with whom I spoke told me that over 80% of the calls they received about filthy restaurants are Chinese eateries.

    They have a Serve Safe certificate on the wall so somebody there has to know something. Here in Arizona it's the gold standard for sanitation training. From my German cultural perspective I would hire a vetted teenager to come in a couple of days a week to just clean and organize and make it worth their while. It would be money well spent considering the headaches this guy is dealing with running a filthy kitchen.
