Sam Wo: The Not-so-Final Chapter

The Chronicle reports on yesterday's public hearing. Sam Wo restaurant can re-open if code violations are corrected.
To reopen, the owners need to make certain immediate changes. These include installing a commercial refrigeration unit; separate sinks for hand washing, dishwashing and food preparation; and eliminating rodents with the help of a licensed pest control service. 
Other required repairs include the fire escape and getting rid of the numerous electrical cords that thread through the restaurant. 
"I have to treat it like I would treat any other restaurant," said Nhi Tu, the health department inspector who spoke at length during the hearing about Sam Wo's "long history of repeat health code violations." Tu presented dozens of photographs depicting the restaurant's violations, ranging from rodent feces on shelves to the unsanitary sink.
And I thought that funny feeling was from the MSG.
