Well, this IS Florida where bugs of all types thrive. I imagine it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to run any type of kitchen in a completely sterile bug free environment here much as we like to think otherwise.
When I lived in England many years ago, our favorite local Chinese restaurant was closed by food inspectors due to feline meat, being substituted for chicken, (as in "the other white meat".) Photos displayed in the newspaper of (thankfully empty) cat traps, dispelled any idea of the offence being a myth. Much later the place reopened under new owners and new name. We decided to give the new owners a chance. Food was good, and frequent food inspectors gave the place a "pass"
Everyone deserves a second chance.
