what about the rats? yuk but what about the prostitues using this place and katie bells as a place of business

[rubicon]

Rats, I am only afraid of four kinds of rats big ones, little ones alive ones, dead ones. There was a great place in Syracuse New York called Maggie Jordan's. They had the best and biggest veal steaks I ever had tasted. I loved going htere until one night I glanced over and saw a roach climbing the wall. Never again entered there and apparently other people witnessed the same thing because this great eating place closed.

As for Bistro, Katie Bells, etc appear with the volume of customers building,etc resturants in this area may well all have a bigger problem than we are aware. When you see these critters once With all the vegetation in TV hidding places are ample for critters. I cait is a safe bet that many more are around. This is one of the main reasons I skip going out for a meal

It's hard to mistake a mouse for a rat.

Interesting to note that The Reported newspaper article link that was posted to support this story in ALMOST FOUR YEARS OLD!!!!! It was published May 30, 2007. Also interesting that Katie Belles, which was also closed for a day, was not mentioned. Makes me wonder how unbiased this little "alert" really was.

As a person with over 30 years of quality assurance experience in the pharmaceutical industry, I know that when you spot dead vermin, it is evidence of a much larger problem. Both places sounded filthy. A dead rat, rat droppings on the cookware, cockroaches crawling in the kitchen are all indicative of a big problem. Remember, these animals and insects are pretty good at staying hidden. I am guessing that if one were to read the health dept. reports for most restaurants, they would probably list a multitude of sins in even the cleanest restaurants. But inspections that result in the immediate closing of a facility have to be pretty bad. Shame on the management of those facilities. I bet that instituting proper procedures for cleaning would have cost them a lot less than the loss of immediate revenue from the closing and any revenue they may lose going forward from damaged reputation. I am hoping that they react properly (i.e. not make excuses) and make the procedural and personnel changes that are required to run a spotlessly clean facility in the future. It is what is required of them both ethically and legally.

The article was only about 3 days old (6/2/07) not 4 years old as stated, and Katie Belles was mentioned in the article. Makes me wonder how unbiased this far fetched unbiased notion really was!
