Weren't there some rat issues in NYC that shut a bunch of restaurants down recently?
Was that related to the footage of the KFC with the rats running all over it, or was that a separate incident.
Heh, and my question is answered.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Since then, the Dept. of Health has gotten a lot more strict in its inspections.
Read Tom's post to mean yes, they shut a lot of restaurants down. It would be nice if we could have those letter grades like they have in L.A. County.

There have been about four restaurants that have been closed in my neighborhood, all with pretty high scores (NYC has a point system that counts the number of violations). They all opened again within a week or so.

Honestly, having known pet rats and knowing enough about the habits of wild rats (they're as fastidiously clean as cats) I don't have any associated squick with the idea of a rat who cooks. But I can see why some people would have a little bit of a conceptual barrier to this movie....

There were a dozen or so rats happily frolicking in a KFC, and all the local TV stations showed up to film them. The KFC had passed its inspection a few weeks before. (It's now permanently closed).
Yeah, the way word about that KFC spread I don't think they'd have seen many customers returning even if they'd nerve gassed the place.
I'm not bothered by the theoretical concept of a rat in a kitchen since it's an obviously unreal CGI rat like the ones in Flushed Away. I'll admit to being grossed out by the realistic rat in the cotton candy from those Charlotte's Web ads, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Whoah. Had news of his illness been made public, or is this sudden for all of us?

It's sudden to me - but I may not have been paying attention.
