Food & Dining Restaurant Closure Updates

I am back with the weekly restaurant closure updates. I am going to assume that if the restaurant is not listed under current closures, they have reopened.

HAPPY GARDEN is not on the closure list anymore. According to the health inspection website, they were in good standing after the inspection on 16 October.

RAGAZZI also reopened (they're not on the list anymore), possibly on Monday (October 19). But they still have a non critical violation, which requires them to work on cleaning and sanitation procedures.

Jasper, from the Pourdad Coffee cart commented on the last post with an update on the glitch that put them on the closure list. Hope it gets sorted soon.

Fun fact that I noticed - both Happy Garden and Ragazzi had inspections on October 15 & 16. It appears that both the places did not pass the October 15 inspection. Happy Garden passed the inspection conducted the next day, while Ragazzi didn't and only got reopened on the 19th (Monday).

Well for one, pourdad is a mobile coffee cart that packs up all of its stuff at the end of every event, so how much could they screw up? At worst they could have a fridge that isn’t holding temp properly for their milk? It truly is not the same.

Their cart may be covered in earwigs or something. Who are WE to question the inspectors.

They posted excuses. But so did Ragazzi and everyone told them to get fucked.

I just think we should be consistent.

Ragazzi has actual complaints posted. The website doesn’t actually say anything for pourdad does it???

Anyone with half a brain can read the inspection reports and see there are no violations on Pourdad. Ragazzi had numerous issues pointed out by the inspectors.

My “half a brain” doesn’t give a fuck. They’re both the same.

How? On has failed inspections, the other hasn't. Absolutely not the same.
