Cockroaches both dead and alive is only the start. Probably the highest amount of “major” violations of any restaurant in the county.
Some other interesting poorly health rated restaurants including some country clubs. Mallory CC was a surprise.
Not talking about little stuff but gross health violations.

I read the Health Dept. report on the Kung Fu Chef inspection. Pretty lurid. A lot of the more egregious stuff (like putting cooked food into a container that had contained raw chicken) can be chalked up to poor staff training, but there is some stuff that might only indirectly reflect on the staff.
Most Chinese restaurants seem to be more alike than different. Because of that I used to joke with my wife about the best time to eat at any of them was the day after the truck got there (the implication being that since the food was so similar restaurant-to-restaurant, most of them got their food off the same truck and it would be the freshest at that time). Then one day I actually saw the truck, or more likely one of a fleet of similar trucks! Red semi with a golden dragon on the door. At any rate a group of us from work, quite a few years back, had lunch at a local Chinese restaurant, and a co-worker found a beetle in her hot-and-sour soup. She called it to the attention of the waitress. "Sometimes they're in the cans when we open them" was her response. Apparently it wasn't unheard-of to find a dead bug or two in the bags of rice that were shipped to this restaurant as well.
The thought of that used to bother me, but not so much any more.
