Didn't see a thread about this, but thought it might have some interest here. I was watching the news at 10:00 PM last night (NBC 41 I think), and they had a piece on LC's bieng shut down due to violations of the health inspection codes.

It has to remain closed until all the violations are brought up to standard.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- LC's Barbeque has been shut down for 12 critical health code violations, leaving the city without one of its longtime favorite for barbeque.In its report, the Kansas City health department noted violations like handwashing procedures, pest issues and sanitation problems.

Among the most damaging violations were the pest issues.The health department's report stated, "Food was not seen as safe, unadulterated and /or honestly presented.

"The report said inspectors found a loaf of bread that had been chewed through by a rodent.The report also said this was not the first time LC's has had food safety violations.

The restaurant is now required to take corrective action before it reopens. LC's staff will have to meet with the Food Protection Program to discuss what they've done to clean the facility before any customers can come back to get food.

If that's one of KC's favorites, it probably won't be for long.

Yeah, I raged about that over Twitter last night. I would hereby like to be the first person to announce a death threat against that health inspector. **** that guy, I'm killing him.

It is, at worst, the second best place for BBQ in KC. Which makes it, at worst, the second best BBQ joint in the world.

This closure is a tragedy that far surpasses the earthquake in Haiti in scope. Shameful shit, KC Health Dept. Shameful shit.

****ing government lies is all it is. This move by the health department has made me renounce all government. I am now a Tea-Partier.

Everybody knows the flavor comes from the counterman's hand. Health inspecting for BBQ should be opposite and freshly washed hands would be cause for closure.
