Health Violations of the Week

There is something about the name of these restuarants that should suggest some problem. Anyway, "Chuckies Chicken House" was "Closed May 17 for unclean food contact surfaces and equipment, no certified food supervisor, improper temperatures of potentially hazardous foods, uncovered and unprotected food on display and refrigerated equipment incapable of keeping proper temperature." Now what's really impressive is that it wasn't reopened until June 17th, which the longest I've ever seen a restaurant closed.

The "New Big Wong Restaurant" on H St. NW was closed for "unclean food contact surfaces and equipment, improper temperatures of potentially hazardous foods, refrigerated equipment incapable of keeping proper temperature, inadequate basic sanitation and evidence of rodents."

And in the good old "Free State," Le Petit Bistro in Montgomery Mall was closed for a "fly infestation and operating without hot water." Fly infestation? What does that mean? Sounds scary.
