>>> MOST OF THE MAIN DISHES COME
WITH A SIDE OR TWO, LIKE FRENCH
FRIES.
>> YEAH, LIKE FREFRNG FRIES.
HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME THINGS
YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYWHERE
NEAR YOUR PLATE.
>> HERE IS ANDREA WITH THIS
WEEK'S RESTAURANT REPORT CAR
>> AFTER LOOKING OVER THE
RESTAURANT INSPECTION REPORTS
FOR LIVINGSTON COUNTY, I TOOK A
TRIP TO BRIGHTON AND HOWELL.
THAT IS WHERE I DISCOFFERED
GOOD, BAD, AND CREEPY.
IT'S THAT TIME.
WOULD YOU CHOW
DOWN OR PUT THAT FORK DOW
THIS IS THE BAKERY ON MAIN
STREET IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN
SO LET'S GO TAKE A PEEK.
>> MY NAME IS ANDREA WITH
CHANNEL 7.
>> I KNOW YOU.
>> YOU KNOW ME?
>> BUT ACCORDING TO THE
LIVINGSTON COUNTY RESTAURANT
INSPECTION REPORTS, THIS PLACE,
THOUGH PRETTY IN PINK, HAS A
PEST PROBLEM.
>> THERE WAS ONE ISSUE ABOUT
SOME RODENTS.
>> MOUSE DROPPINGS FOUND IN
SEVERAL AREAS OF THE FACILITY.
ANTS ROAMING AROUND BENEATH THE
THREE COMPARTMENT SINK.
THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TOLD THE
BAKERY TO GET RID OF THE RODENTS
IN THE BEGINNING OF JULY.
AT
THE END OF JULY, THEN AGAIN,
TWICE IN AUGUST.
WHAT GIVES?
>> SO YOU ARE NOT SEEING ANYMORE
MICE OR RODENTS?
>> HUH-UH.
>> NO?
>> NO.
>> SHE SAYS A PEST CONTROL
COMPANY RAN THE RODENTS RIGHT
OUT OF HERE, BUT ACCORDING TO
THE REPORTS, NOT SO MUCH.
THERE WERE MORE MOUSE DROPPINGS
AT THE MOST RECENT INSPECTION,
WITH SOME OF THE DROPPINGS
APPEARING TO BE FRESH.
>> WE HAVE AN POLICY THAT'S
CONSIDERED TO BE PROGRESSIVE.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP DOING
FOLLOW-UP INSPECTIONS.
THAT COULD ALSO LEAD TO OFFICE
CONFERENCES, ALSO INFORMAL
HEARINGS.
>> SO A FORMAL ENFORCEMENT WAS
CONDUCTED BY THE LIVINGSTON
COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
I CALLED THE OWNER, AND SHE TOLD
ME THERE ARE NO KRITERS OF ANY
KIND ON SITE, AND, NOW, TODAY,
THE BAKERY IS IN COMPLETE
COMPLIANCE
NOW, ON TO THE NEXT ONE.
EXPRESS HOUSE IN BRIGHT
ON.
THERE ARE A LOT OF TASTY-LOOKING
DISHES ON THIS MENU.
THE DOUBLE DELIGHT LOOKS
DELIGHTFUL, BUT ACCORDING TO THE
LIVINGSTON COUNTY RESTAURANT
INSPECTION REPORT, THERE IS A
PRIORITY VIOLATIONS AND ONCE
AGAIN, WE'RE TALKING PESTS.
EVIDENCE OF MOUSE ACTIVITY.
A MOUSE NEST BENEATH THE COOLER.
ITEMS ON THE SHELVES WERE NOT
PROPERLY STORED, PROVIDING A
FOOD SOURCE AND CONDITIONS FOR
MICE.
PLUS, THE DISH MACHINE WAS NOT
DISPENSING THE PROPER AMOUNT OF
SANITATION.
I SPOKE WITH AN EMPLOYEE INSIDE
THE EATERY WHO ASSURES ME ALL
THE RODENT CONCERNS HAVE BEEN
RECTIFIED AND THE SANITATION
ISSUE, TOO.
ALL THAT CAN BE BACKED UP BY
EXPRESS HOUSE GETTING A FULL
STAMP OF APPROVAL BY THE PEOPLE
AT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT
