    Worked at Geoffrey's restaurant in Malibu, CA when younger. Once a week the entire kitchen was steam cleaned with hyper-hot steam. Every corner, every crannie, every inch. Not unlike what the US Navy does on its ships when I served.

      Roaches tend to love tropics and most comes in on boxes from somewhere else.. now with that said, the FDA allows a certain percentage of all food sold in stores to have insect parts or whatever. wonder why they did that if its easy to get rid of insects and by the way, not because you dont see them dont mean they are not there but when you do see them then its a infestation

    I recently quit a restaurant that lacked cleanliness and have proper food storage. I went to some of the higher ups with my concerns for the cleanliness and food quality and food storage and was basically told I had to deal with it. As a person that’s been cooking professionally for more then half my life I was in shock when I was told that. I quit on the spot. Sadly most restaurants are this way now. People simply need to start cooking for themselves.

Even some of the cleanest places I ever worked in would fail a real surprise health inspection 99% of the time from infractions that cost a bunch of points (leaving the ice scoop in the ice, even if it's handle up, not having sani water in the specified areas, ect) if they didn't get a heads up there'd be nowhere to eat lol

      @@3arthIsGhetto , I was a delivery driver for a Chinese restaurant in Philly. Most of the first inspections were unscheduled. The owners would ask me to keep lookout on the street for the city government cars. They also were in touch with other businesses on the strip to give each other a heads up. They’d ask me to read closure notices on doors of nearby businesses and the online health inspection reports since I could read English better than them.
      If the inspector shut us down, my boss paid for a scheduled expedited re-inspection ASAP, scrubbing all day and night before the second one.
      I saw mice and roaches once or twice a year in my ten years there. They worked hard to keep it clean. I only fielded one complaint about food contamination from a customer. She did show me a tiny live worm/ maggot in her order. My manager had a lame excuse. I worked there ten years because business usually was booming there so we generally had a good reputation.

In the 18 years in the lead position there was only one violation and that was that the can opener had a bit of dried product on the blade. It was a minor infraction. Other than that, we got 100% on every other inspection. I am proud of that!

      I worked at a family owned restaurant in in Renton myself. This one time, the owners wife *thought* she saw a mouse. Her dad and hubby (part owners) shut the place down for 3 days and had a pest control company come in and tear the place apart. We found a mama mouse and her babies, and they were GONE. They owners were @ssholes about how clean the place was. One of the uncles of the owners flipped his lid one day when the health department came by and found one expired product (by 3 days) in an area of the freezer thats hard to get to. I don't blame him. In the 15 years I was there before moving to the coast, we always got 98%-100% on every inspection. About every 4 months we'd close on a Saturday/Sunday and they'd have a professional cleaning crew come in and tear the place apart from top to bottom. All the equipment was fixed and inspected all the time. Something broke they made dam sure it fixed right away. Oh, and they treated the staff with massive respect as well- they made sure we were paid enough to care. It's possible to hit 95%-100% on every inspection every time...*IF* you are an @sshole about how clean your restaurant is.

    I used to do refrigeration work in restaurants. Some of the most filthy places I've ever been are in restaurant kitchens. I was working on an ice machine in one place which was having 1/2 a roasted chicken with stuffing and gravy. All the pre-cooked chickens were on metal sheets on a rack against one wall near the ice machine. When I looked over, roaches were crawling all over the chicken halves. The kitchen staff merely flicked them off, heated them, ladled gravy on top and served them. I've seen roaches so bad under bars and even in dining rooms in some of the places I worked that I made a decision to not work in restaurants again.

    The concerning thing is that while health inspectors may be ruthless upon inspection, depending on your location, it takes quite a bit to flunk an inspection. Roaches and other bugs show up when there's food available. So, if your food is in the fridge, and non-refrigerated products are sealed properly, and surfaces are clean, then bugs are generally not an issue.
    Running a restaurant is easy. Running one PROPERLY is damned hard. It takes serious attention to detail, and an ability to keep a smile when you want to clobber someone. I think the dude is in the wrong business.

    Once an uncle opened a restaurant without a permit when the inspector came. He got all the equipment out like the flash before the inspector came back to confiscate it all.
    Business was doing pretty good too. I still wonder why he didn’t try again but with everything in order.

    If the government feels the need to step in, it's better to have a seal of approval with a date to for restaurant owners to display on their door voluntarily and let the community know, if a restaurant doesn't have the seal of approval, it's dine at your own risk. Because they can't catch them all but the public thinks they do so if it's open, it must be OK.

We were told to always shake out our delivery bags before putting a pizza in them, one time I forgot and as I pulled a pizza out to hand to a customer a roach fell out and the dude saw it and refused to tip me. The worst and last straw when I threatened to quit was when I was making a sandwich for myself, and upon inspecting the steamer we heated them in found the reservoir and encasement around where the food was placed to be packed full of dozens of dead roaches. The thing hadn't been cleaned in who knows how long, and all of the sandwiches served for weeks had been steamed in putrefied roach guts.

The place can be sprayed over and over or fumigated and it won't make a big difference if the bugs can get through gaps around pipes or underneath doors or windows. P.S. Every restaurant I have worked at requires the employees washing their hands with anti bacterial soap and rinsing them with warm water and then putting a sterile pair of disposable gloves.
