Perhaps all the snow this week prevented people from venturing outside their homes, leaving restaurant employees with nothing better to do than a top-to-bottom clean. Or, maybe the health inspectors channelled holiday cheer into their investigations, because there were no closings, and only a handful of major infractions reported.

A number of restaurants had trouble with pest control, like Gino's Pizza on Bloor and Pho Houng. The critter infestations weren't, however, flagged as crucial, so I guess they can't be that bad? The restaurant with the most dings was Buddy Hong Kong Cafe, with a total of 12, including a lack of hot and cold running water in food prep area. That must have made things a little difficult for them. This less-gross-than-usual list can encourage us to get out and enjoy some Toronto dining while things seem to be on the cleaner side.
