Philadelphia Restaurant Inspections Mashup

Please, PLEASE, read this before you ever go out to eat again.
This is an excerpt from one of the pizza places near Drexel that I used to frequent.
Opening in soil line needs to be capped – raw sewage is contaminating a large portion of the basement floor. Management instructed to initiate immediate corrective action. 7-01 (L) Mouse infestation is present. A severe and pervasive mouse infestation exists throughout this food establishment. Accumulations of fresh mouse droppings were observed inside the walk-in refrigerator on open pizza dough (this was condemned); under cooking equipment; on prep table shelves; inside fryers; on shelves under front serving counter.

i seriously wasted 3 hours looking at that yesterday
this is why everyone should work in a restaurant at least once in their life. you’s wouldn’t be so quick to go out to eat.
Here’s the McDonald’s across from the Gallery. I’m a bit too scared to look up the places INSIDE the Gallery.
7-01 (L) Mouse infestation is present. Two dead mice on glue board on floor behind hot water heater,one of the two mice was a fresh kill. Numerous mouse feces were observed on floor along walls and in corners, as well as some of the food and food packaging storage. All of the above was observed in the dry storage area. Management instructed to initiate immediate corrective action. 9-02.1 Employee hands are not washed prior to food handling activities. None observed. Hands must be kept clean at all times. Management instructed to initiate immediate corrective action. 9-02.3 (A) Employee observed not following good hygienic personal practices. Food handler was observed rubbing face with hand and returned to food handling tasks without first washing hands. Management instructed to initiate immediate corrective action.
No violatios at Lorenzo’s! Awesome!
And Kev, I worked in a restaurant, saw what went on there, and still dont’ give a shit.
luke! i forget to text you the other nite. i got wrapped up in something else i’m sure. there was a pbs documentary on food in philly.
I saw some of that the other night… all I caught was a part about scrapple, though.
well, christina… i’m sure you recorded it for me, right?
Why the hell didn’t anyone text me?!
of all the restaurants i worked at, Johnny Rockets on south street was the cleanest. everything was scrubbed every night to pristine conditions. it maybe have changed since i left years ago, but i was very impressed by it all.
the kitchen for The Fountain is obviously pretty damn clean, too. busy as hell, as it’s also the kicten for the Swann Lounge and the rest of the Four Seasons Hotel food services, but they keep it up very well for such a small area they have to work with.
you worked at the fountain?
nope, i worked at the hotel, but my direct routes from meeting room to meeting room was always through the kitchen. i spent more time in there than i probably did doing my actual job.
i also ate pretty well for three years.
i wrote up the texts to hutch AND luke, got a phone call, and subsequently forgot.
i’m a bad friend. don’t lend me anything either.
most of the places i used to go to aren’t serious violators of anything.
hooray.
my apartment was worse than anywhere, anyway.
