The Inspection Desk

Shut Down Last Night

Every day, Florida DBPR inspectors walk into Miami-Dade and Broward kitchens and write down what they find. Every morning, our desk reads those reports and crowns the worst one. The findings below are the inspector's own words, quoted — the roaches, the sewage, the handwash sink full of ice — with the outcome exactly as recorded and the official report linked so you can check us. Below the crown: the day's other emergency closures, in a list.

Snapshot, not a sentence. An inspection is a snapshot of conditions on the day of the visit — it is not a grade of a restaurant on any other day. Findings below are quoted from the official Florida DBPR inspection report.

How This Page Works

Source	Florida DBPR, Division of Hotels & Restaurants — the official Licensing Portal inspection search and its public inspection reports. Never an aggregator, never a review site, never a tip alone.
Quoting rule	Findings run as the inspector wrote them, with the violation code attached. If a quote is shortened, it is shortened with an ellipsis — never reworded into something worse. Violation counts are the report's counts.
Outcomes	Closed or reopened as recorded. If a re-inspection pass is recorded later, the story gets a dated update note at the top — a clean re-inspection is part of the story, not a footnote.
Responses	The business was invited to respond before publication. Any response received is published with the story, in the business’s own words. Businesses can also write us any time via Contact.
Snapshot rule	An inspection is a snapshot of conditions on the day of the visit — it is not a grade of a restaurant on any other day. Findings below are quoted from the official Florida DBPR inspection report.
