Roaches spotted at 31 Miami-area restaurants. They were cited, and 2 were shut down
A thawing case of salt fish sat on the restaurant floor. A roach was crawling on it. That will get a food establishment shut down if a state inspector sees it.
That’s what happened to Adolphe Take Out Restaurant, 215 NE 82nd St., one of 31 Miami-Dade restaurants cited for roach activity in the last 30 days and one of two to be shut down for the day over roaches. A Golden Corral in Florida City also was shut down because of roaches.

The Florida Division of Hotels and Restaurants, Department of Business and Professional Regulation inspects food establishments periodically.
The inspection report on Adolphe noted, “Roach activity present as evidenced by approximately three live roaches found in a non working oven, one crawling on a thawing case of salt fish on floor and two on wall behind equipment in the kitchen area.”
At the Golden Coral at 33525 S Dixie Hwy., the inspection report said, “Roach activity present as evidenced by live roaches found. Approximately six in kitchen oven area, two by fryers, one by kitchen reach-in cooler.”
