He says it's normal to have roaches in homes. I bet this guy never flushes the toilet, either. Thanks to Local 10 for loading this clip and giving us the "heads-up" on this dining landfill and the nasty guy that runs it.
I love how he thinks "I was never told they would show up again in 60 days" is actually a defense. Dude, you should be able to pass an inspection at any time. That's kinda the whole point.
Because most restaurant managers and owners have contract with pest companies to come out at regular intervals. This guy obviously didn't, but he should have.
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. Both proved to me, if you don't want roaches, you can in fact get rid of every single one of them. You just have to want to.
thats not true. The ca environment is a totally different than Fl environment so maybe you should consider that before making a blank statement. I have seen flies in every publix and around its deli area but I have never seen any inspector in there!! 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
this cant be true since while you're cleaning the roaches are busy hiding in deep crevices there that water will not get to them and then they crawl out, in the middle of night, long after you are gone, to eat
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.
You can tell by the front of the restaurant, you can see the bathrooms, you can even tell by the staff the way they treat each other what type of establishment you’re in.
60 days is too much. Back when I worked in this Mexican restaurant,we'd have 3 days to clean the entire place up and make it look spotless. Took us 2 days to finish and when the health inspector came,we got a passing grade every time. This guy's just lazy and probably blames everyone whenever he fails 😂
Years ago, I worked at a franchised McDonald's. No flies, no cockroaches, nothing. This place was pristine. You could eat off the floors. It all depends on management. Our boss made sure that customers were treated to a good experience in an immaculate restaurant. I brought that philosophy with me into my adulthood.
An employee of the 24 hour McD's in this town told me that there is a permanent colony of cockroaches living in their ice cream machine. Think about that. It's own isolated eco-system. They could be evolving a New species of cockroach in that machine. Just in time for Klaus to start requiring us to eat them! 😅
When I was 18 years old, I was a manager of a fast food restaurant between midnight and nine in the morning. We were very diligent about cleaning the restaurant up after every shift and that until the complete restaurant. When I left, the restaurant was extremely clean. That’s what’s important if you don’t want roaches and flies.
Well, he has the roaches at least. More restaurants should be shut down, if you ask me. However, what could beat a nice, home cooked meal from a beautiful wife?? Hmm. Now THAT'S worth paying for!!
That's why you're supposed to maintain your place of business clean at all times. What did you expect the health department to give you a heads up saying we'll come down there on a Tuesday morning for an inspection?? 🧐😵💫😵
They actually do this alot more than you'd think. They tend to show up at expected times, or within a certain time frame otherwise half or more of all restaurants would be shut down indefinitely. 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.
I worked at food service facility at the Renton Boeing plant in WA state for 28 years and as the kitchen lead I made sure our kitchen was CLEAN. 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.
@@bluejedi723 Yep, sometimes you have to make sure your employee's know how serious you are about cleanliness. Hey, it wasn't the Rainbow Cafe, was it?
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.
he needs to be upset with himself. such incompetence. if he’s being called out that means that there are restaurants that aren’t being called out. stop w the lame excuses sir.
It’s common for a narcissist to blame everything on somebody else. He seems to have that down. According to him, he’s never failed. Anything in his life. My opinion if he’s never failed anything in his life, he’s a failure.
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.
@@truth4004 You took the words right out of my mouth! Why didn't he hire a cleaning service? Probably didn't want to spend any money! What a great person he is...NOT!
Did anyone else read his Facebook post?! He is saying it's normal to have roaches in a restaurant and in homes! I do NOT have roaches in my home. I have preventative pest control quarterly. We did have roaches in our childhood home bc it was infested when our parents bought it, and they never had money to bring in professionals but even back then we knew having roaches wasn't normal and was an embarrassment. I refused to live like that as an adult in my own home
My first job, when I was 16 back in 1979, was at a Holiday Inn restaurant. For large group parties we would set out small bowls of different salad dressings up and down the tables between the rows of plates. Later, when we would clean up, we were given strict instructions by the restaurant manager to remove the pieces of lettuce out of the remaining dressings and then dump the remaining dressings back into the large containers of dressings. That always grossed me out!
He's mad because he got caught and lashes out at the ones who called him on having bugs rather than take responsibility. This dude is a joke. Now I know where not to eat in Davie.
Restaurants like that who get a bad reputation will just change names . I read that check the restrooms first before you eat at a restaurant because usually that is a sign at how clean the kitchen is .
Been in the industry all my life and there is NO excuse to defend your lack of hygiene and the critters that come with it. Your community deserves cleanliness even if your pizza sucks.
Mold on soda nozzles, bugs, flies, unsafe temps, and I saw the pizza chef using his bare hands to dip into pizza toppings then distribute them onto the pizza. That's just nasty. How the owners still keep patrons is beyond me.
There is no pride in that kitchen, the employees are either there for a check or they weren't trained. When i worked in a kitchen no one went home till the place was cleaned, even the owner. We were well trained and worked as a team. Goof offs didn't stay long, it was do it right or don't come back. New people were trained, not just thrown in the fire. There was a lot of pride in our kitchen and friendly competition between other places. It was an embarrassment to get any violations.
"I didn't know that they were going to show up again in 60 days." What kind of a defense was that? I thought that health inspectors could show up without notice at any reasonable time.
I worked for a large west coast chain called Far West Services in the 70’s as a cook they had brands like Coco’s coffee shops and Rubens dinner houses and sanitation was a very high priority. After every shift the cook station and prep areas were fully cleaned, every container was cleaned and food rotation was strictly adhered to. When I’m in a restaurant I can tell if the kitchen is being taken care of because it starts in the front of the house and if that’s not being managed well there’s a good chance the kitchen isn’t being looked after either.
1:42 sir, that is how the inspections work. They are random. If they told you when they were coming, then people would only spot clean. Get out of business if you don’t know how it works.
I use to drive for national linen service and had the unfortunate opportunity to observe what these kitchens in all of these restaurants are doing and let's just say I NO longer eat out!
Yeah the health inspection aspect is a joke. I worked in restaurants for almost 2 decades. I didn't stay at any unsanitary places. Pro tip, if you see a bunch of employees eating the food that's usually a great sign that they have a clean kitchen, amazing food or really cheap prices. You usually get 1-2 but all 3 is a unicorn. I have been to such a unicorn so it's not impossible, just incredibly rare lol
@@foylebutler8952 It just makes sense. All that food and grease. Just because you don't see the bugs, doesn't mean you don't have them. You can control them but I seriously doubt you can ever eliminate them.
"I was never told they were going to show up again in 60 days." They do that on purpose genius to make sure you're always clean and not just when they're coming.
he has been open for 20 years and you are probably not smart enough to realize that every restaurant you eat at has the same problems . A guy once said to me that its only cheating if you get caught and not because you dont know about something doesnt mean its not there. They were reopened a day later, so what exactly changed in a day? Did he finally get rid of all the insects in a day , is that how things work when insects moves in? If you think he is all of a sudden insect free, then, I have a billion dollars I would like to give to you in exchange for you paying me the taxes to get it.. I send you my deposit account
Wtf you mean it's unfair & impossible ? It's a restaurant where you cook food for your customers ! Clean your kitchen up & get rid of the roaches & flies . Keep the food separated & in the refrigerator . There's no more excuses . Do right or get rid of the business .
I worked in a restaurant when I was younger and we - IMO, of course, as one of the people wielding a mop - kept that place extremely clean, but we still had a roach infestation seemingly out of the blue one summer. After never having seen one, all of the sudden roaches were everywhere. We shut down for a day or two while we had the place fumigated and then cleaned afterwards. It sucked, but that's what you need to do. I'll also add, the owners did this without having to be told to do so.
It’s not hard to keep your restaurant clean and it’s not hard to practice food safety. A restaurant owner should always be prepared for a food inspector to show up at any time.
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.
@Steve Fox customers believe that a restaurant is clean and safe and has passed inspection . Customers dont inspect restaurants they have no idea what the kitchen looks like or how food is being prepared or kept , restaurants have to be clean and safe and pass inspection , if they refuse to do so then they get closed by the inspector .
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.
for those making nasty comments he had just recently recovered from a serious injury double tear of both his hamstrings and was in casting/wheel chair for almost a year and the persons that were left in charge to look over the place didnt, they were stealing and not doing anything to keep up with cleaning. after he fully recovered he fired everyone and now its a top notch place, its now clean all new staff and nothing that was reported is now an issue
The only reason why this is still a problem is because the owner doesnt want to pay up. Probably figured he would pay at the 6 month mark but they came back after 60 days.
I can appreciate that it may be difficult to keep insects under control. Especially in a climate like south Florida, but how difficult is it to make sure food is being stored properly and at the proper temperature?
“I’m not a dirty diner” should NEVER be followed by “ok yea I might have insect problems”! Haha come on now! Fast food places - “the frying oil is just fine and clean” followed by “yea ok there’s usually a rat found swimming there in the morning at least 3-4 times a week, but it’s not a dirty oil”
You have to shutdown, remove all the food, fumigate, and clean top to bottom every nook and cranny. Look for any holes roaches can hide in, fumigate inside the walls.
Dirty restaurant or not, it's not like anyone is being forced to eat there. Even though with all this bad publicity, people are still ordering pizza from this place. Are there people who want to get food poisoning? My first "real job" was at a Taco Bell in Southern California. You can argue the food isn't healthy, but we took inspections seriously. This guy complains the inspectors came unannounced. What? That's the way it's supposed to be. Does he really expect the health department to call him a couple days before, so he can sweep up the roaches before the inspector arrives?
LOL!! He said "They didn't tell me they'd be back in 60 days." So he wanted a warning so he has time to clean the ilk off the food. He says it's impossible to keep it clean. Funny how there are 1000's of other restaurants that manage to keep the roaches out of the customer's food.
Unless that entire strip mall is exterminated for bugs they'll always return because the infestation remains.. You can't just spray the restaurant and expect results.
At least he was a little calmer this time around, most restaurants will be caught slipping at one time or another. It's how you respond to that criticism that matters. I will remember his reaction for years to come. My fav episode with Jeff Weinseir was the Chinese restaurant in Oakland Park with the stray dogs. Then the state made them throw food out and Jeff caught them taking it back out of the dumpster 😂😂
Oh, no. I know of a Chinese restaurant where I live that had many stray cats outside it's restaurant. That restaurant is no longer there. Also, a muslim restaurant was caught serving dog meat. A guy saw a truck pull up in back of the restaurant and when the doors were opened dead dogs were pulled out and taken into the restaurant. Muslims hate dogs . It is in the quran that they are to never own dogs as a pet and to slaughter them. You will never see a muslim own dogs.
Only twice?? Bet if they went there more often, it would have been MORE!! FUME the place, THEN do a thorough job CLEANING it AND KEEP it clean!! Common sense!! This guy should NOT be running a restaurant. Maybe a gym? What worse? Really? You asked that? That has to be the dumbest question a restaurant owner can ask.
I'm so jaded because of this. I always do thorough research on a place and try to find out if the employees eat there, that's always a green or red flag. If you never see employees eating some place it's almost always because the kitchen is yucky and they know it or it's too expensive for them and they don't get a discount. Or both lol
"But I was never told they would show up again in 60 days." - Why would they tell you this? Why don't you clean up your restaurant and fix the problem rather than make excuses?
I used to work at the 94th Aerosquadron in St. Louis, Missouri. Our gm had the same mindset as this guy and wouldn't listen to me. I walked out and called OSHA for the many violations and now the place is Nothing but an empty level lot.
gonna tell ya, I have done food service maintenance for over 20yrs in restaurants, almost every place has issues, contain and control is the best they can do, really really tough having a busy kitchen man. He let them in and look around, brave move when they have cameras, especially a kitchen, just my “2¢”.
I've worked in restaurants for 17 years myself in 5 different states. Yes there are some grimy gross places, but no, if you do preventative spraying and scheduled upkeeps along with properly cleaning you will not have bugs. If you have a pest control problem it's only temporary unless you don't care or can't afford to fix it.
Don't eat at this joint, unless you want to get sick. Just terrible food prep and safety. I have a Greek friend who lives in Greece. The day before he makes dinner reservations, he goes to the restaurant and asks for the owner to give him a tour of the kitchen, checks out everything and interviews the chefs.😎🤣
@@conkaiserdor no it's very important what ice-cream the president eats. Don't u know how important that is. All the networks care about is what ice-cream the president is eating.
It's like a few thousand dollars to have a pest control guy come in a solve the issue. I used to do pest control. These owners are just lazy and put all the money into their cars and vehicles instead of back into the restaurant.
Ewe, why would anyone eat here with an owner like that? There is a black owned restaurant in my area that I don't go to because the chef and owner is disgusting. It doesn't matter who you are or what you're trying to accomplish, when you have a poor attitude and lack accountability then you shouldn't own a business of any kind. His excuses just makes it more concerning. He us more angry that they came back than he is about the concerns they raised. This restaurant is extremely dirty and disgusting.
When I was 18 I delivered for a pizza place that had roaches, but for some reason never failed a health inspection. 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.
One of many many reasons I prepare 90% of my meals at home. Life can be chaotic so sometimes I take the easy road or am traveling but it's never a fun decision for me lol
You have to make sure any piping, vents, door and window seals all have a good seal around them so the bugs can't get in! 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. Usually the restaurants buy the cheap plastic disposable sterile gloves.
The inspectors did well to shut it down for the safety of the patrons. However, there's something more to the story because hundreds of restaurants get temp shutdown orders every month across the USA, but none of them make it to news like this. Am I the only one sensing Local 10 reporter giving "Neenar Neenar Neenar" vibes here?
I've worked at many restaurants and trust me they are all usually dirty. I worked at big chains as well as a GM like Chipotle and Chili's and trust me those places are extremely disgusting and only get away with it because they have money. I worked in a small restaurant and they got us for little things but I worked at Chili's and we had a roach and fruit fly problem but never got diductions. Trust me that guy is probably cleaner than all the other places that you go to.
@@truth4004 I'm not going to lie but even the best restaurants can get roaches. I bet 99% of the restaurants you've been in had or has roaches. You have to get the exterminator on a weekly basis but it's common. I was a GM for many restaurants so I've seen it first hand.
@@livingfaith91 roaches are the least of that dudes problems, he had way too many food violations. i doubt they would've shut him down if his roach problem was the only problem (and if it was as minor as he claims)
@@meair depending on the inspector. We had one that saw them and said let's get them killed and call the exterminator tonight and I'll check again in 7 days and others where they see 2 or more and automatically shut you down. It depends on the inspector. Usually veteran inspector are more understand and new younger ones are super by the book
That pizza guy spreading mushrooms 🍄 on the pie with no gloves. Already a NO to dining there. At least if you're in view of the consumer make me think you are clean. Perception is 90%
When you get shut down, or have a certain amount of violations, they visit again within 90 days. If he’s owned a restaurant for that many years … he should know how all of this works 🙄 also, fruit flies are a thing in all restaurants/grocery stores. BUT they should still be actively trying to get rid of them.
Hey one thing to note is after the second incident he actually got on camera 📷 & expressed his opinion. That to me is a step in the right direction. Hopefully he's able to workout his insect issue 🙂
I worked in restaurants and I keep a clean house, sometimes it gets dusty, but the house is clean! The cockroaches [some call palmetto bugs] are persistent and will make a surprise stage entrance. However, on the flipside with today's politics - What is the big deal about a few bugs? The FDA is pushing insects in our food choice! I bet the Florida State Capitol's cafeteria has cockroaches making surprise visits too!
I've worked in restaurants in Orlando, Tampa and everywhere in between. It IS almost impossible to keep the bugs out. I keep a very clean house yet I found a beetle in my wallet this morning 😂 No lie, It's just a part of life in Florida.
I worked at a restaurant with roaches one time, I had a friend who owned a pesticide company and would clear it out for super cheap for him to make my work environment safe. The dude absolutely refused saying that “they always come back it’s an old building nothing you can do”
I don't know of any restaurant that doesn't have a fly or especially a roach now and again, right up to your 5-stars. I also agree that fumigating would leave me more uncomfortable with ordering food in the establishment.
That guy looks like he doesn't miss a day at the gym but doesn't care that he misses a day of cleaning his restaurant.
He says it's normal to have roaches in homes. I bet this guy never flushes the toilet, either. Thanks to Local 10 for loading this clip and giving us the "heads-up" on this dining landfill and the nasty guy that runs it.
He looks like the kind of guy who PRETENDS he spends a lot of time at the gym.
He doesn’t hit the gym, I can guarantee you hes on steroids
This guy reminds me of Drumpf. He has never done anything wrong. And everything that’s wrong and his restaurant is OK. Narcissistic, chump!
True Story

The steroids have migrated to his brain.
Lmao.
I thought the same thing.
🤣
😂😂
In his defense, his points are well taken, not to mention I'm sure that there are harassing corrupt inspectors seeking a handout.
36 years as a restaurant manager never had an issue, never closed down. To have a restaurant closed twice is a HUGE issue.
He didn't get caught, that's probably why. It's on the owner to maintain the restaurant whether the inspector visits the restaurant during that time.
It happens all the time, they just don't put it on video!
Hmmm yum how about some fresh roach feces 😁
Because most restaurant managers and owners have contract with pest companies to come out at regular intervals. This guy obviously didn't, but he should have.
For some reason I suspect that restaurant is less about pizza and more about laundering... money laundering. Plus, steroids.
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.

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.
I worked at food service facility at the Renton Boeing plant in WA state for 28 years and as the kitchen lead I made sure our kitchen was CLEAN. 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!
You should be! Well done!
@Black lies matter you must live in a hovel, it shows in your inbred post
@asainracistspeakstruth3311 how do you know have you ever been to his restaurant? In WA that’s my question
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.
@@bluejedi723 Yep, sometimes you have to make sure your employee's know how serious you are about cleanliness. Hey, it wasn't the Rainbow Cafe, was it?
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.
he needs to be upset with himself. such incompetence. if he’s being called out that means that there are restaurants that aren’t being called out. stop w the lame excuses sir.
It’s common for a narcissist to blame everything on somebody else. He seems to have that down. According to him, he’s never failed. Anything in his life. My opinion if he’s never failed anything in his life, he’s a failure.
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.
All he had to do was hire a cleaning service to come and deep clean.
@@truth4004 You took the words right out of my mouth! Why didn't he hire a cleaning service? Probably didn't want to spend any money! What a great person he is...NOT!
@Mainely Maybe Trans fats would have Killed them?
Actually-I doubt that
Did anyone else read his Facebook post?! He is saying it's normal to have roaches in a restaurant and in homes! I do NOT have roaches in my home. I have preventative pest control quarterly. We did have roaches in our childhood home bc it was infested when our parents bought it, and they never had money to bring in professionals but even back then we knew having roaches wasn't normal and was an embarrassment. I refused to live like that as an adult in my own home
Can't find his fb. Got link?
@@bigstick8699 based on his whiney interview I'd be willing to bet he took it down or made it private cuz he kept seeing nobody back him up.
I think he’s too big of a slob and narcissist to succeed in restaurant business.
He is right... restaurant and no roaches etc? Get real people.
@@denton1232 part of his punishment should be, he should be required to sit down with a gallon of roaches and flies and eat them all.
My first job, when I was 16 back in 1979, was at a Holiday Inn restaurant. For large group parties we would set out small bowls of different salad dressings up and down the tables between the rows of plates. Later, when we would clean up, we were given strict instructions by the restaurant manager to remove the pieces of lettuce out of the remaining dressings and then dump the remaining dressings back into the large containers of dressings. That always grossed me out!
He's mad because he got caught and lashes out at the ones who called him on having bugs rather than take responsibility. This dude is a joke. Now I know where not to eat in Davie.
Restaurants like that who get a bad reputation will just change names . I read that check the restrooms first before you eat at a restaurant because usually that is a sign at how clean the kitchen is .
@@starlite556 Good idea.
Been in the industry all my life and there is NO excuse to defend your lack of hygiene and the critters that come with it. Your community deserves cleanliness even if your pizza sucks.
Who would eat there after the first time especially after he actually said he didn't know they would come back so fast
Mold on soda nozzles, bugs, flies, unsafe temps, and I saw the pizza chef using his bare hands to dip into pizza toppings then distribute them onto the pizza. That's just nasty. How the owners still keep patrons is beyond me.
There is no pride in that kitchen, the employees are either there for a check or they weren't trained. When i worked in a kitchen no one went home till the place was cleaned, even the owner. We were well trained and worked as a team. Goof offs didn't stay long, it was do it right or don't come back. New people were trained, not just thrown in the fire. There was a lot of pride in our kitchen and friendly competition between other places. It was an embarrassment to get any violations.
"I didn't know that they were going to show up again in 60 days." What kind of a defense was that? I thought that health inspectors could show up without notice at any reasonable time.
Your not supposed to be told when health inspectors will show up. keep your business clean at all times.
I worked for a large west coast chain called Far West Services in the 70’s as a cook they had brands like Coco’s coffee shops and Rubens dinner houses and sanitation was a very high priority. After every shift the cook station and prep areas were fully cleaned, every container was cleaned and food rotation was strictly adhered to. When I’m in a restaurant I can tell if the kitchen is being taken care of because it starts in the front of the house and if that’s not being managed well there’s a good chance the kitchen isn’t being looked after either.
1:42 sir, that is how the inspections work. They are random. If they told you when they were coming, then people would only spot clean. Get out of business if you don’t know how it works.
This is exactly what happens when you always skip leg days.
🤣🤣
something is always off when you see these guys "oddie bodie"
Everyday is leg day
Excellent 🤓
😂😂😂
1:39 I was never told they were coming - twice - hummmm - I would have cleaned if I knew inspectors are coming. The owner is a delusional narcissist.
I use to drive for national linen service and had the unfortunate opportunity to observe what these kitchens in all of these restaurants are doing and let's just say I NO longer eat out!
Yeah the health inspection aspect is a joke. I worked in restaurants for almost 2 decades. I didn't stay at any unsanitary places. Pro tip, if you see a bunch of employees eating the food that's usually a great sign that they have a clean kitchen, amazing food or really cheap prices. You usually get 1-2 but all 3 is a unicorn. I have been to such a unicorn so it's not impossible, just incredibly rare lol
my job takes me into the ceilings and crawl spaces of these places.
What you saw was the tip of the ice burg.
Crap, we're going to a Mexican restaurant tomorrow. Maybe I'll stay home 😮
Kitchen nightmares lol
@@foylebutler8952 It just makes sense. All that food and grease. Just because you don't see the bugs, doesn't mean you don't have them. You can control them but I seriously doubt you can ever eliminate them.
"I was never told they were going to show up again in 60 days." They do that on purpose genius to make sure you're always clean and not just when they're coming.
Guess where many won't eat anymore!👌
His lack of accepting responsibility with his lame excuses shows how little he cares!✌️
he has been open for 20 years and you are probably not smart enough to realize that every restaurant you eat at has the same problems . A guy once said to me that its only cheating if you get caught and not because you dont know about something doesnt mean its not there.
They were reopened a day later, so what exactly changed in a day? Did he finally get rid of all the insects in a day , is that how things work when insects moves in?
If you think he is all of a sudden insect free, then, I have a billion dollars I would like to give to you in exchange for you paying me the taxes to get it.. I send you my deposit account
@@bjvu9460 "Not smart enough"? Sure thing boy genius!👌
Any other ignorant comments?✌️
@@bjvu9460 someone should send you a brain
Wtf you mean it's unfair & impossible ? It's a restaurant where you cook food for your customers ! Clean your kitchen up & get rid of the roaches & flies . Keep the food separated & in the refrigerator . There's no more excuses . Do right or get rid of the business .
I worked in a restaurant when I was younger and we - IMO, of course, as one of the people wielding a mop - kept that place extremely clean, but we still had a roach infestation seemingly out of the blue one summer. After never having seen one, all of the sudden roaches were everywhere. We shut down for a day or two while we had the place fumigated and then cleaned afterwards. It sucked, but that's what you need to do. I'll also add, the owners did this without having to be told to do so.
It's unfair that you only had 60 days to fix problems. 😂😂😂
and he wasn't warned they were coming back...yipes...
Narcissists, never do anything wrong.
@@DaDansinBear Yes, it's always the other guy.
unfair inspector shut him down more bugs and mold, unbelievable!
It’s not hard to keep your restaurant clean and it’s not hard to practice food safety. A restaurant owner should always be prepared for a food inspector to show up at any time.
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.
Dude...stop making excuses.
Clean up or close up.
@Steve Fox customers believe that a restaurant is clean and safe and has passed inspection . Customers dont inspect restaurants they have no idea what the kitchen looks like or how food is being prepared or kept , restaurants have to be clean and safe and pass inspection , if they refuse to do so then they get closed by the inspector .
@Steve Fox No.
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.
It’s a conspiracy! The roaches and flies are plotting on his business 😂😂😂😂😂
for those making nasty comments he had just recently recovered from a serious injury double tear of both his hamstrings and was in casting/wheel chair for almost a year and the persons that were left in charge to look over the place didnt, they were stealing and not doing anything to keep up with cleaning. after he fully recovered he fired everyone and now its a top notch place, its now clean all new staff and nothing that was reported is now an issue
I’m not a dirty diner, I might have an insect problem 😮
That was beautiful, wasn't it? I wonder what kind of entomological nightmare is breeding at his house.
😅😅😅
He thinks he"s not a dirty "diner" because he doesn't eat there.
What a diligent and charming individual.
The only reason why this is still a problem is because the owner doesnt want to pay up. Probably figured he would pay at the 6 month mark but they came back after 60 days.
I can appreciate that it may be difficult to keep insects under control. Especially in a climate like south Florida, but how difficult is it to make sure food is being stored properly and at the proper temperature?
“I’m not a dirty diner” should NEVER be followed by “ok yea I might have insect problems”! Haha come on now! Fast food places - “the frying oil is just fine and clean” followed by “yea ok there’s usually a rat found swimming there in the morning at least 3-4 times a week, but it’s not a dirty oil”
I have over 20 years of experience in food service. A dirty, unsanitary kitchen is unacceptable!
You have to shutdown, remove all the food, fumigate, and clean top to bottom every nook and cranny. Look for any holes roaches can hide in, fumigate inside the walls.
Exactly can get rid of roaches by cleaning every inch to find them all.
Dirty restaurant or not, it's not like anyone is being forced to eat there. Even though with all this bad publicity, people are still ordering pizza from this place. Are there people who want to get food poisoning? My first "real job" was at a Taco Bell in Southern California. You can argue the food isn't healthy, but we took inspections seriously. This guy complains the inspectors came unannounced. What? That's the way it's supposed to be. Does he really expect the health department to call him a couple days before, so he can sweep up the roaches before the inspector arrives?
A motorcade makes its way down the street. It must be the health inspector or the president lets not take any chance.
LOL!! He said "They didn't tell me they'd be back in 60 days." So he wanted a warning so he has time to clean the ilk off the food. He says it's impossible to keep it clean. Funny how there are 1000's of other restaurants that manage to keep the roaches out of the customer's food.
Exactly 😂.
You got to clean clean clean ontop of regular exterminator visits!
Were the roaches in the food?
@@Kremithefrog1 is that part the relevant part? Lol I'd say it's safe to say someone ate a dead one more than once unknowingly.
That would be like the police calling a criminal to schedule a search warrant.
Well, if he stop spending money on the steroids he probably could afford to get rid of the roaches. I'm glad to see stuff like.
Dude looks like he couldn't think his way out of a one way tunnel.
Unless that entire strip mall is exterminated for bugs they'll always return because the infestation remains.. You can't just spray the restaurant and expect results.
Cleaning from top to bottom helps. and keeping it clean.
I'm sure the other business owners in that shopping center despise him for causing a bug infestation. Bugs don't stay in one business.
At least he was a little calmer this time around, most restaurants will be caught slipping at one time or another. It's how you respond to that criticism that matters. I will remember his reaction for years to come. My fav episode with Jeff Weinseir was the Chinese restaurant in Oakland Park with the stray dogs. Then the state made them throw food out and Jeff caught them taking it back out of the dumpster 😂😂
That should automatically cost you a permit/license to serve food forever. Lol
Oh, no. I know of a Chinese restaurant where I live that had many stray cats outside it's restaurant. That restaurant is no longer there. Also, a muslim restaurant was caught serving dog meat. A guy saw a truck pull up in back of the restaurant and when the doors were opened dead dogs were pulled out and taken into the restaurant. Muslims hate dogs . It is in the quran that they are to never own dogs as a pet and to slaughter them. You will never see a muslim own dogs.
He must be between steroid cycles 😂
Only twice?? Bet if they went there more often, it would have been MORE!! FUME the place, THEN do a thorough job CLEANING it AND KEEP it clean!! Common sense!! This guy should NOT be running a restaurant. Maybe a gym? What worse? Really? You asked that? That has to be the dumbest question a restaurant owner can ask.
If patrons could only see whats behind closed doors (kitchens) you wouldnt probably eat out much anymore and i mean at any eating establishment
I'm so jaded because of this. I always do thorough research on a place and try to find out if the employees eat there, that's always a green or red flag. If you never see employees eating some place it's almost always because the kitchen is yucky and they know it or it's too expensive for them and they don't get a discount. Or both lol
Not Gordon Ramsay's. lol
@@truth4004 lol yeah, that one is true, nothing to worry about there, Gordon wont stand for it
Seems like a real rational & stable small business owner
Don't ever eat there!
It sure looks like he might as well, just close up shop!
He's pretty defiant!
"But I was never told they would show up again in 60 days." - Why would they tell you this? Why don't you clean up your restaurant and fix the problem rather than make excuses?
💯‼️🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳
Roaches gotta eat🙄
outside in the dirt lol or a garbage dump.
Less time at the gym and more time killing bugs.
This is Why I dont eat out and I prepare my own food...
I used to work at the 94th Aerosquadron in St. Louis, Missouri. Our gm had the same mindset as this guy and wouldn't listen to me. I walked out and called OSHA for the many violations and now the place is Nothing but an empty level lot.
gonna tell ya, I have done food service maintenance for over 20yrs in restaurants, almost every place has issues, contain and control is the best they can do, really really tough having a busy kitchen man. He let them in and look around, brave move when they have cameras, especially a kitchen, just my “2¢”.
I think ur telling it how it is
I've worked in restaurants for 17 years myself in 5 different states. Yes there are some grimy gross places, but no, if you do preventative spraying and scheduled upkeeps along with properly cleaning you will not have bugs. If you have a pest control problem it's only temporary unless you don't care or can't afford to fix it.
If the place was clean u wouldn’t have to worry about them coming back in 60 days
Fuhgettaboudit! If you don't fumigate the entire structure, bugs just scurry next door. Wassamatta you, huh?
😂
EXACTLY !....you're holding this guy responsible for the entire strip malls problem .
Ohhhhh you here this guy over here? Talkin’ ‘bout bugs in the gabagoo? Freakin’ guy. No more pizza pasta for this goombah eh. Getouttaheeere
Don't eat at this joint, unless you want to get sick. Just terrible food prep and safety. I have a Greek friend who lives in Greece. The day before he makes dinner reservations, he goes to the restaurant and asks for the owner to give him a tour of the kitchen, checks out everything and interviews the chefs.😎🤣
Doesn’t matter how many days of re-inspection. Do not eat at this place!

Jeff Weinsier is the best reporter!
Yeah maybe he could be a Washington reporter and actually ask the president a real question besides what ice-cream are u eating. Maybe!
@@johnjohn7551 I personally prefer if he asks about a recent report of roach droppings in the President's Dining Room.
@@conkaiserdor no it's very important what ice-cream the president eats. Don't u know how important that is. All the networks care about is what ice-cream the president is eating.
It's like a few thousand dollars to have a pest control guy come in a solve the issue. I used to do pest control. These owners are just lazy and put all the money into their cars and vehicles instead of back into the restaurant.
People get into the restaurant and retail business because they think it's easy.
Ewe, why would anyone eat here with an owner like that? There is a black owned restaurant in my area that I don't go to because the chef and owner is disgusting. It doesn't matter who you are or what you're trying to accomplish, when you have a poor attitude and lack accountability then you shouldn't own a business of any kind. His excuses just makes it more concerning. He us more angry that they came back than he is about the concerns they raised. This restaurant is extremely dirty and disgusting.
😂😂😂 I love his explanation.
He was never told theys was gonna show up again hahaha!!!!!
It was the last straw when the ants came in and complained about the roaches!
"Stop making excuses.
Clean up or close up."
🤦♀
You’d think the responsibility lies with the mall when it comes to roaches . If they’re in the restaurant the other units have them to .
The owner cursing out the news reporter and saying "your mother has roaches" is hilarious but yeah avoid his restaurant until further notice
When I was 18 I delivered for a pizza place that had roaches, but for some reason never failed a health inspection. 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.
Thats awful!! 😢
bruh...
One of many many reasons I prepare 90% of my meals at home. Life can be chaotic so sometimes I take the easy road or am traveling but it's never a fun decision for me lol
🤮🤮🤮
Hmmm. You worked there as well. So you admit you never cleaned anything either?
You have to make sure any piping, vents, door and window seals all have a good seal around them so the bugs can't get in! 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. Usually the restaurants buy the cheap plastic disposable sterile gloves.
I think this news report is focusing on the wrong thing. This man just runs a successful roach pizza bar & restaurant.
🤣 Gold!
😂😅🤪😜😝
Maybe he should add Roaches to his Pizzas as a topping.
The inspectors did well to shut it down for the safety of the patrons. However, there's something more to the story because hundreds of restaurants get temp shutdown orders every month across the USA, but none of them make it to news like this. Am I the only one sensing Local 10 reporter giving "Neenar Neenar Neenar" vibes here?
I've worked at many restaurants and trust me they are all usually dirty. I worked at big chains as well as a GM like Chipotle and Chili's and trust me those places are extremely disgusting and only get away with it because they have money. I worked in a small restaurant and they got us for little things but I worked at Chili's and we had a roach and fruit fly problem but never got diductions. Trust me that guy is probably cleaner than all the other places that you go to.
No he has roaches lol and says its normal.
@@truth4004 I'm not going to lie but even the best restaurants can get roaches. I bet 99% of the restaurants you've been in had or has roaches. You have to get the exterminator on a weekly basis but it's common. I was a GM for many restaurants so I've seen it first hand.
@@livingfaith91 roaches are the least of that dudes problems, he had way too many food violations. i doubt they would've shut him down if his roach problem was the only problem (and if it was as minor as he claims)
@@meair depending on the inspector. We had one that saw them and said let's get them killed and call the exterminator tonight and I'll check again in 7 days and others where they see 2 or more and automatically shut you down. It depends on the inspector. Usually veteran inspector are more understand and new younger ones are super by the book
That pizza guy spreading mushrooms 🍄 on the pie with no gloves. Already a NO to dining there. At least if you're in view of the consumer make me think you are clean. Perception is 90%
This soprano wanna be fool again 😂😂🤡🤡
When you get shut down, or have a certain amount of violations, they visit again within 90 days. If he’s owned a restaurant for that many years … he should know how all of this works 🙄 also, fruit flies are a thing in all restaurants/grocery stores. BUT they should still be actively trying to get rid of them.
not leaving food out helps even at home. And covering garbage.

Wow, By any chance did this guy use to co-own a little restaurant in Scottsdale Arizona called Amy’s baking company?
Hey one thing to note is after the second incident he actually got on camera 📷 & expressed his opinion. That to me is a step in the right direction. Hopefully he's able to workout his insect issue 🙂
agreed he found out that people will treat you according to your attitude. act like a tough guy and get hit with another strict inspection lol.
He's unsanitary and probably the same way at home. Not fit to service the public.
I can picture Gordon Ramsey having a meltdown at this place!
Have they checked the business for HGH

I worked in restaurants and I keep a clean house, sometimes it gets dusty, but the house is clean! The cockroaches [some call palmetto bugs] are persistent and will make a surprise stage entrance. However, on the flipside with today's politics - What is the big deal about a few bugs? The FDA is pushing insects in our food choice! I bet the Florida State Capitol's cafeteria has cockroaches making surprise visits too!
of course it's full of Rpublicans, they are the worst cockroaches
ordered shut
It's south florida.....EVERYBODY has roaches !
I've worked in restaurants in Orlando, Tampa and everywhere in between. It IS almost impossible to keep the bugs out. I keep a very clean house yet I found a beetle in my wallet this morning 😂 No lie, It's just a part of life in Florida.
I worked at a restaurant with roaches one time, I had a friend who owned a pesticide company and would clear it out for super cheap for him to make my work environment safe. The dude absolutely refused saying that “they always come back it’s an old building nothing you can do”
He's definitely Italian 😂😂😂😂
Hmmm , someone didn't go through Serve Safe Certification 😂
I don't know of any restaurant that doesn't have a fly or especially a roach now and again, right up to your 5-stars. I also agree that fumigating would leave me more uncomfortable with ordering food in the establishment.
i'd be scared of fumigation too if the owner can't clean a soda nozzle, he'd definitely find the cheapest in town. others are definitely safe
