what if theres a bar/nightclub that is falling apart and wouldnt pass inspection, who do you call for? especially if the building is really old and isnt up-to-date with building codes?
Have you heard that saying 'only in America'. Well guess what - this happens world wide. Where there is poor design and poor supervision- people are set up for failure. Design it and supervise it so there is no excuse for failure. And fail they will.
Come on guys, these are all re-enactments of incidents the health inspector had witnessed. Hard to believe there are such disgusting things going on behind the closed doors. Barf!
There was a Chinese restaurant I used to go to in Vancouver called The Villa. Very dirty place but the food was pretty good. Like other Chinese restaurants in the area, they'd hang bbq pork and duck in the front window. One day one of the waitresses went to get some bbq meat and sneezed all over the stuff hanging there. And then she sneezed on the meat a second time, aye! Don't think I ever went back again.
Although it shouldn't take an "amazing" inspections schtick to inform/educate people about the risks lurking inside commercial kitchens, sometimes a little bit of drama (okay, song and dance too) can help to rouse the rabble that put up with the conditions depicted above.
so the storys are real but the videos are just re-acted? becuase i dont think somone would pick their nose RIGHT IN FRONT OF A RESTERANT INSPECTOR AND A CAMERA!
1) The garbage area in the back of the facility. On a scale of 1 to 10. 1 is rotting slime and tissue flowing into the drainage swale. 10 is just washed down with still visible soap bubbles. If it's 8 I'll go in and check..
The best way to see if a restaurant is kept clean is go to the washroom. If it's dirty leave. Never send your food back, order something else. Look at the cultery for things like stains, food particals. The staff, are they clean. The floors. Simple observations weeds out the majority of eateries, and finally try to go to chainfood restaurants, they're not all clean, but the majority are.
I used to work at a kfc when i was younger and the manager wore really really dirty clothes all the time, it was like he never wash them ever! and Ive seen his hair on the counter, tongs, rags, and cutting board.
Yall shouldnt eat at kfc because they dont clean their chicken before cooking them. you might be eating fried feathers if your not looking at what youre eating.
It is too bad that this is not based on real reports since there are some really nasty things going on in the restaurant industry. My rule of thumb is to check the bathroom upkeep. If the bathroom is nasty, chances are that the kitchen is too. I leave.
Exactly - these are reinactments of real events--maybe they should start filming their inspections--all the more reason to pray over your food before you eat...
I worked at a Comfort Inn in Florida and one of the owners would take food out of the rooms that people had opened and put it back out on the breakfast bar so that they could save money.
Very true. I worked in a restaurant that reused cheese and crackers set out on the tables. You would just scoop the cheese into a bucket and then re-scoop it for your next table!! Also, when you cleaned the salad bar, there were roaches everywhere!! Needless to say, I got into it with the owner and quit do to the filth.
Cmon weenies, this is nothing compared to the slaughterhouses and factories. The only difference is that a restaurant is zero tolerance and are publicly reported. Commercial plants are exempted from public scrutiny AND are allowed to have a limited portion of hair/rodents parts/insects per capacity in any given batch...
I worked at Pizza Hut in 1992. I saw the boss painting an order printer that was located directly above the pizza sauce. He did not bother to remove or cover the sauce first to prevent the paint from dripping into it. He was doing this as part of his preparation for a scheduled visit by the health inspector. They should have more surprise inspections.
All violations are posted at the restaurant. I've looked at a few. Mostly on the wall behind the cash register. The ones I looked at were for improper temperature control.
I believe every bit of it. I worked as a night manager of a KFC in northern Detroit in the early '80s. We'de take whole live frogs and toads and batter and fry them up. We never had a unhappy customer.
Even tho these are remakes, they are still from actuall reports!! Anyone with a brain would have picked that up! lol
Very informative!!! I worked in resturants for years, I am THIRLLED to see someone bring crap that goes on in them to light!!! Keep up the good work exposing these "dirty" resturants & employee neglegance!!! KUDOS!!!!
Thanks. It is a cool video. People do not realize how little oversight restaurants have. Some of them are totally filthy. Even when they are caught, they get lots of chances to clean up for the re-inspection.
actually they are. It is in the constitution that a public service worker is allowed to use recording equipment. Read your facts buddy. As far as this video goes though it is all a remake. Though Health inspectors do use hidden cameras all the time... legally.
since most people cant seem to figure it out, these are re-enactments of actual reports.
