A state inspection at a Palm Beach County restaurant last week found raw sewage with a \u201cvery strong odor\u201d overflowing from floor drains and flooding the kitchen.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile in Broward County, a restaurant had two dozen live roaches inside the dishwasher, under a food warmer and chest freezer, and crawling on a wall.<\/p>\n
They were the only two South Florida restaurants ordered to temporarily close during this time period.<\/p>\n
The South Florida Sun Sentinel typically highlights restaurant inspections conducted by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation in Broward and Palm Beach counties. We cull through inspections that happen weekly and spotlight places ordered shut for violations such as improper food temperatures or cockroaches.<\/p>\n
Any restaurant that fails a state inspection must stay closed until it passes a follow-up. If you spot a possible violation and wish to file a complaint, visit myfloridalicense.com. (But please don\u2019t contact us: the Sun Sentinel doesn\u2019t inspect restaurants.)<\/p>\n
