New York's Dirtiest Restaurants
The Epoch Times released a list of the city’s cleanest and dirtiest restaurants, and Brooklyn fared…okay. None of the top six cleanest are in our borough (the Bronx seems to be the best place to get a clean plate of food), but only two of the dirtiest are in Brooklyn: a Golden Krust on Nostrand…
The Epoch Times released a list of the city’s cleanest and dirtiest restaurants, and Brooklyn fared…okay. None of the top six cleanest are in our borough (the Bronx seems to be the best place to get a clean plate of food), but only two of the dirtiest are in Brooklyn: a Golden Krust on Nostrand Avenue, which seems to share the space with mice, cockroaches and insects along with customers, and a Jamaican restaurant on Saratoga Avenue; rats and insects were found there. The list came courtesy of State Senator Jeff Klein, based on data from the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The Senator, and his colleague, Brooklyn’s Senator Eric Adams, are hoping the ratings will lead to more pressure on the department and thus fewer cockroaches with your side of fries. Seen anything particularly stomach-turning recently?

Thank you cobblehiller- I couldn’t even scroll past it. Ugh! was as bad as the Madagascar bug ads for the Bronx zoo that crawled all over your screen when you opened the page.
DIBS- I confess to bugophobia, a variation of 8hairylegophobia. There is a bug protest going on outside my window. They’re carrying little tiny signs proclaiming “bxgrl kill my ant” However, I think I’ll pass on going to that link. I have a feeling I’ll never eat or drink anything but boiled, filtered water ever again.
You got me there, Dave.
cobblehiller, I would prefer a harmless picture of a bug to a messy trash can or a gross dumpster. I assume you don’t frequent the American Museum of Natural History or the Bodies exhibit that was at South Street Seaport?
In any event, for some reason I keep being reminded of The What when seeing the picture above and feeling a sense of loss in his absence.

Yes, MM…very sad. I wasn’t even about to check whether or not I was spelling it correctly.
How does one actually loathe an insect?? Isn’t that a form of phylumism or genusism, the non-human animal world equivalent of racism???
Come on now MM, lets call a cockroach a cockroach!!!
Ugh, smaller, ok, it’s smaller, that’s something.
But let’s get a little more creative here – how about a dirty plate? A dirty cup? A sloppy sink? A messy trash can? A dirty floor? A dirty stove top? A gross dumspter? A sad looking plate of string beans? Anything but a waterbug, please? Double triple pretty please with sugar on top. I’ll send you a pizza? What do you need Lisa? What’s it gonna take?
Exactly why I try to cook everyday.I like my food seasoned but not with rat or mice droppings or urine or roach legs .Eww!!!!!!!!
Dave, arachnaphobia is a fear of spiders. What we have here is insectophobia, also called entomophobia and acarophobia, the fear and loathing of insects. In this case, however, waterbugaphobia. Bleh!
I admit, I took the time to look those up. Sad.
