If you look at the specifics of each report, the date of the report is noted at the beginning. The information on the app itself does not list a frequency with which the data is pulled. However, going through the various reports I see monthly changes. The app producer says they use FOIA requests to access the reports, unless an individual state makes reports public on a regular basis.

OH SNAP! :1rotfl:

Ok, anyone swing by Pinellas today ? Is Evergreen closed or what...

Bet a lot of you are still eating at Palmer Legend Country Club even though they were shut down in mid June of this year because of roaches.

Going to a buffet is like lake taking your pet to a dogie park
Never know what pathogens are lurking ..I avoid both

You better stay away from pot luck dinners and bake sales. Home kitchens would have several violations.

Restaurants will always draw bugs, mice and rats. Anyplace with a dumpster and garbage.
How about the supermarket, everyone handling fruits and vegetables.

We cancelled our group luncheon for 50 at Palmer's because of the roaches.

You could have asked that the roaches be made to seat 3 or 4 to a chair, so that you still had room for your group.

There are good and bad of both. Everything worthwhile in life has a little risk.

Your loss.

How modest. :)

PB - You're right. Thanks for the comeuppance.

40 years ago I was eating take out Egg foo young at home on my TV table. About 2/3 of the way through it my fork stabbed a big juicy cockroach nestled in between the saucy omelet and the bottom of the tin. I carefully put the cardboard lid back on and drove back to the restaurant. I whispered to the girl behind the counter and lifted the lid for her to see. She asked if I wanted a new order, politely I said not really, just my money back. I was a really nice guy back then. Somewhere along the way, I changed.

Probably after the next cockroach? [emoji41]

I think that restaurants that have been cited for health violations are probably second-guessing everything they do and triple-checking everything coming out of their kitchens. But I've been wrong before.

Mehh. I know you didn't mean anything by it. Just having a little fun...at your expense. ;)

And appropriately I might add.

I owned two restaurants for over 10 years and cockroaches are a ongoing problem. With deliveries coming in weekly they can hitchhike in with boxes ,potatoes or anything . The issue is who is taking care of the pest control, all restaurants will have roaches hitchhiking in the exterminator will take care of the problem. If roaches are seen then in most cases the place is infested and their exterminator needs to be replaced. Far to much is made of seeing a roach , I'm reasonably sure most homes in The Villages have seen roaches in their homes at one time or another , palmetto bugs?

Exactly.

In the house I sold before moving here, I had maybe seen 3 or 4 of them in 10 years. I was very pleased with the pest service, as they were very thorough, but this is Florida after all so there will always be a few.

So fast forward to the last day in that house.

Everything had been moved out, a high-priced cleaning service had been over it from top to bottom and I have worked my way from each room, touching up anything not perfect and making everything sparkle. During this entire time, not a single bug, much less a cockroach, had been seen.

I was doing this just hours before the new owners were making a last inspection, the day before signing the papers.

After loading my car with all of the cleaning supplies, and knowing there was no reason to worry, I decided to make one last inspection anyway.

So I opened the door from the garage into the washer dryer room and there in the middle of the floor, where I had just been less than 10 minutes earlier...lay a dead roach on its back!! :22yikes:

How in the heck it had crawled to the middle of the room and just died belly up, in the 10 minutes I was gone, is still a mystery to me.

All I could think of was "what if the new owners had opened the door, seen that one damned roach and cancelled the sale?"

It's funny now, but I certainly wasn't laughing at the time. :mad:





I know, right? :1rotfl:

When I first moved to Florida, I cracked up at the naïveté of those who think you can mitigate the nastiness of cockroaches by giving them an innocuous, almost cute, sounding name. :D

Had dinner at Evergreen just before they closed. Since my wife and I were regular customers the maiître d' told us they would close for two months for renovation and for some of their staff to return home for vacation. When they reopen, the buffet will be gone but all of the buffet items will be available on a menu. I eat exclusively off the hibachi grill and asked if that was still going to be available. She said she didn't know. We were told the reason for the changeover from buffet to menu was they had to discard so much food each day that their business wasn't profitable enough. The lack of business during the summer probably didn't help much.

I though Evergreen was owned by China Gourmet. We love Cina Gourmet in Colony and will love China Gourmet even more when another one will be located near the new Rohan Center.

Ride behind China Gourmet some Saturday or early morning. They get their food dumped out back on the sidewalk when they are closed. Sometimes on a pallet, sometimes the canvas bags on the ground. Me no likey! :(

Thank You
 

Glad to see some check the "facts" quoted in some of these posts. Its really mean spirited to maliciously put out false facts that could put someone out of business,

Some confusion on this thread. There are two different restaurants being discussed and two different health departments being discussed. One is county and one is state. BOTH of these restaurants, Evergreen and China Buffet have had "roach issues". I don't believe that anyone is posting false information. The information is just getting mixed up.

I had a roach come through the garage and into my kitchen once. I no longer cook because I feel it's a health hazard to eat at my house. :22yikes: :thumbup:

My thought exactly. :)

Too funny! :highfive:

This thread is getting me very sick. Just when I was ready to get out (to restaurants) they pull me back in( to cooking home):D

There is a big difference between a palmetto bug that enters your home and will die within 72 hours and other roaches such as german roaches that multiply quickly and are difficult to eradicate. And there is a difference between a home kitchen and a restaurant kitchen

In my view if the health department's inspection results in a closing its serious and a health hazard.

For some like me with a weaker stomach once a place closes its off my list

A chinese buffet draws me. Now I find two chinese buffets closed because a a health inspection.. Looks like my wife and I are going to be cooking chinese more at home.

:1rotfl:

:thumbup:

exactly

LOL Lots of other places that would appreciate your business.

I'm not sure as to why the equipment was being removed but a couple of weeks ago the restaurant was closed down for a few days by the health department for finding live roaches on site. That couldn't do anything for their business.....

Is this the same problem or two separate citations?

Totally different and not at all related. Here's the latest on both China Buffet and Evergreen...hope it clarifies:
