A live roach on duct tape. Burger King. A Miami food truck. South Florida restaurant fails

Representation matters and three of the four South Florida counties are represented on this week’s Sick and Shut Down List. So, let’s get down on it.

READ THIS PART, PLEASE: What follows comes from Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation restaurant inspections in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe counties. A restaurant that fails inspection remains closed until passing an inspection.

If you see a problem and want a place inspected, contact the DBPR. We don’t do the inspections, control who gets inspected nor how strictly the inspector inspects.

We don’t include all violations, just the most moving, whether internally or literally moving (because it’s alive or once was alive). Some violations get corrected immediately after the inspector points them out. But in those situations, ask yourself why the violations exist in the first place? And, how long would they have remained if not for the inspection?

We report without passion or prejudice, but with humor sauce.

In alphabetical order...

Brooklyn Water Bagel Boca East, 2250 N. Federal Hwy., Boca Raton: Routine inspection, two total violations, one High Priority violation.

As anyone who has listened to a native New Yorker gripe about the bread products elsewhere knows, the name comes from the belief that the New York City water creates superior bagels and rolls.

The 47 flies the inspector saw seemed to find the Boca water and air in this joint just fine.

Of those 47, the bulk were counted as they landed on walls, 10 in the dining room and 20 in the bagel kitchen. One fly was in an open clamshell to-go container (hope he left before closing) and another one was landing on a coffee pot.

When the inspector came back the same day, 10 flies were hanging out on walls near the entrance of dining room restrooms, three were on dining room coffee dispensers and five were on the walls of the area where bagels were made.

Brooklyn Water flowed again after passing a re-re-inspection.

Burger King, 7080 Seminole Pratt Whitney Rd., Loxahatchee: Routine inspection, eight total violations, four High Priority violations.

“Hold the roaches, hold the lettuce, a few flies won’t upset us...”

Five or six flies were landing on a shelf under the soda dispenser machine on the cookline.

As for the roaches, five or six were spotted “crawling on the wall, floor, behind the reach-in cooler and the ice cream machine on the cookline.

The floor by the three-compartment sink was “covered with standing water.”

Somebody grab some mops. “Floor soiled/has accumulation of debris.” Where? “Behind the reach-in cooler and ice cream machine on the cookline. Under a corner table in the dining room.”

This BK Lounge passed a same-day inspection on Friday, allowing them to stay in the game for the week’s biggest dinner rush and biggest breakfast rush (Saturday morning).

Chill-N Nitrogen Ice Cream, 2238 Weston Rd., Weston: Complaint inspection, 15 total violations, two High Priority violations.

The 25 to 30 flies landed on bananas as well as “clean, sanitized pans and utensils and on unwrapped paper towels.”

But the real hot, wet mess was at the warewashing and dishwashing machines.

The dishwasher couldn’t get hot enough, and if you can’t get your water up to 160 degrees, you can’t do a complete job that includes sanitation.

“Accumulation of debris inside the warewashing machine.” “Accumulation of debris on the exterior of the warewashing machine.” “Accumulation of lime scale on the inside of the dishmachine.”

Under the dishwasher and other equipment, there was “a buildup of mold-like substance and debris.”

The walls under the dishwasher had an “accumulated mold like substance.” A “mold-like substance” also was spotted on reach-in cooler shelves and gaskets.

If you stood at the front counter, you could stand in standing water.

The ice cream joint passed re-inspection the next day.

More than 38,000 Healthy Choice Power Bowls have been recalled nationwide. Here’s why

Detroit Eats, 1313 W. Boynton Beach Blvd., Boynton Beach: Routine inspection, 10 total violations, five High Priority violations.

The inspector found a walk-in cooler with an ambient temperature only 44 degrees, making it about as worthless as the Packard plant because food being kept in cold storage must be 41 degrees or cooler.

So the inspector shot up the cooler with Stop Sales on turkey, ground beef, chicken, coleslaw and hot dogs. In the flip-top cooler, ham and meatballs also got hit with Stop Sales.

Next to that walk-in cooler, was a Hudson of a handwash sink, lacking soap, paper towels or a blow dryer.

Three dead roaches were spotted, one in the seal of a prep cooler.

None of this bothered the rodents leaving their regularity pieces on a shelf under a prep table, on the floor across from the reach-in freezer (10 droppings there), on top of a water heater, behind a floor mixer next to that walk-in cooler (five there) and under a shelf next to the stove (over 10 droppings there — makes sense, it being warm and close to the food).

Somehow, Detroit Eats passed re-inspection the next day.

Inti Sandwich, 2800 N. Military Tr., West Palm Beach: Routine inspection, nine total violations, one High Priority violation.

No soap for you at the kitchen handwashing sink. Didn’t matter because the Inti folks mistook their handwashing sinks as a shelves, evidenced by pots and pans stored in the front counter sink and knives and spoons stored in the kitchen sink.

Next to the front counter handwashing sink, there was a bucket with two dead roaches. On the back plate was a live roach. Another three or four were between the cardboard and the back side of the cooler behind an upright glass door cooler at the front counter by the handwashing sink.

“Non-service animals in the food establishment or on premises.” A woman was standing by the hostess stand with her small dog. Service dogs and hot dogs inside, otherwise no dogs allowed (or birds). That also goes for Fresh Markets.

The re-inspection got ruined by four dead roaches, two behind the microwave (radiation?) and 15 live roaches, including one stuck on the duct tape on an electric outlet.

Inti passed the third inspection.

Here’s why a public health alert was issued for a food item sold only at Publix stores

Kingdom Buffet, 240 N. Congress Ave., Boynton Beach: Complaint inspection, 10 total violations, six High Priority violations.

Annnd, the ice machine! “Accumulation of black/green mold-like substance in the interior of the ice machine/bin.”

A fly landed on raw chicken in the kitchen, but the raw chicken was getting tossed anyway because it was prepared at the same time on the same prep table and cutting board as raw pork. That’s a Stop Sale because the food isn’t considered in a wholesome condition.

Of the seven live roaches, five were in areas not separated from the cookline and food prep area by a door.

After failing another inspection — “four live roaches on wall behind a wood rack in the dishwashing area” — the Kingdom passed inspection to get out from under quarantine.

Organic Food Kings 3, 10200 SW 216th St., South Miami-Dade (food truck): Routine inspection, 17 total violations, four High Priority violations.

This food truck version of the Midtown Miami restaurant’s luck ran out when the inspector walked in the day after the water pump broke down.

“Establishment operating with no potable running water.”

So, “employees are working without washing hands because there is no potable water at the establishment.”

Even if they had potable water, the handwash sink completed a hat trick of nothing with no soap and no way to dry hands joining no water.

The reach-in cooler’s doors couldn’t close, so it couldn’t keep food properly cooled, which was why shrimp, ham, vegan chicken, vegan egg, vegan cheese and cut tomatoes all got hit with Stop Sales.

After a re-inspection, the food truck was allowed to operate again, but a follow-up inspection was required. There’s no online notation of that inspection as of Thursday afternoon.
