When you go out to eat, you look for food that fills your tummy, but this week, inspectors said one restaurant wasn’t so yummy.
Becker paid a visit to Yummy Asian Bistro on County Road 210 near I-95, but the orange sign on the door gave it away. It was temporarily closed.

State inspectors found 2 live roaches, 97 dead roaches and time/temperature safety violations. Again, it was temporarily closed.
Becker walked around the back to see if anyone was around, and the back door was open. So, he closed in.
The man he ran into went away for a moment, but Becker could hear him speak to someone else before he briefly came back and closed the door in his face.
