Great Week for Restaurants

Two West Boca restaurants at Glades & 441 had perfect inspections, and no inspection reported more than 9 violations. That’s a very good week.

Chipotle in Westwinds (the Home Depot plaza) and Teriyaki Madness in Mission Bay both had perfect inspections this week – zero violations.

The Burger King on Glades near Boca Rio was near-perfect with one minor violation.

There was a licensing inspection for the new Ganzo Sushi (and Ramen) which says they’re opening this Saturday November 23rd.

Their inspection had 3 violations, one high priority: “Vacuum breaker missing at mop sink faucet or on fitting/splitter added to mop sink faucet.”

In the less than spectacular category, Flakowitz in East Boca had 9 violations, 4 marked high priority:

• Employee ( Dishwasher) handled soiled dishes or utensils and then handled clean dishes or utensils without washing hands. Employee washed hands.
• Employee touching ready-to-eat food with their bare hands – food was not being heated as a sole ingredient to 145 degrees F or immediately added to other ingredients to be cooked/heated to the minimum required temperature to allow bare hand contact.
