HMM needs to shut the F up. Making an effort to point out health code violations?! What, you're getting bored with rubbing them out to your mother's Ladies' Home Journal back issues? If you don't like this column, stop reading it. You're retarded. And you, Blerch, if you don't like the f*cking photos: 1. Stop reading this column 2. Send FFD a new, really expensive f*cking camera and some filters. Maybe he'll keep taking different types of photos, submit each and every one for your priceless approval, and then we can ALL breathe easier because an ASSHAT named Blerch likes the photos on this blog. (Admin: Right on time, no?)

I love oxtails and that looks yummy. Sucks that this was once considered scraps now costs ten bucks a pound.

ok, although the point has already been made abundantly clear, I would like to point out that Hmm, while quick to try and cast a negative light on Kuntry Bickle by showing us it's status with the department of health, failed to notice in the little box to the right that the average score for all NY restaurants is 12 and that anything under 28 passes and is considered acceptable. ok, I'm done now.

case in point: http://167.153.150.32/RI/web/detail.do?method=detail&restaurantId=40562839&inspectionDate=20051014 JEAN GEORGES 1 CENTRAL PARK WEST, MANHATTAN 10023 212-299-3900 Current violation points: 16 Inspection Date: 10/14/2005 Violations were cited in the following area(s) and those requiring immediate action were addressed. 1.) Sanitized equipment or utensil, including in-use food dispensing utensil, improperly used or stored. 2.) Food Protection Certificate not held by supervisor of food operations. Jean Georges is considered to be the best restaurant in all New York. Their violation rating is higher. http://167.153.150.32/RI/web/detail.do?method=detail&restaurantId=40704324&inspectionDate=20060110 SUSHI YASUDA 205 EAST 42 STREET, MANHATTAN 10017 212-972-1001 Current violation points: 26 Inspection Date: 01/10/2006 Violations were cited in the following area(s) and those requiring immediate action were addressed. 1.) "Choking first aid" poster not posted."Alcohol and Pregnancy" Warning sign not posted. "Wash hands" sign not posted at hand wash facility. Resuscitation equipment: exhaled air resuscitation masks(adult & pediatric), latex gloves, sign not posted. Inspection report sign not posted. 2.) Lighting inadequate. Fixture not shielded. 3.) Sanitized equipment or utensil, including in-use food dispensing utensil, improperly used or stored. 4.) Food worker does not use proper utensil to eliminate bare hand contact with food that will not receive adequate additional heat treatment. 5.) Hot food not held at or above 140°F. This isn't just any old sushi place, this is the highest rated japanese restaurant by Zagat's this year. I've eaten there, it's excellent, and will definitely go back. So, for the finger wagging fools such as "hmm" well, I guess this speaks for itself. I wonder if there isnt a little bit of elitist maybe even racist motivation behind their post. Kinda makes me say hmmmmm......

Hmm, you and Blah should get a room (insect-free) and suck each other off, as you both posted the same annoying violations comment on two different food stories. But you're probably the same person, so hopefully you're flexible enough to nuzzle your own sack and shut the f up.

hmm needs to shut up. just rude. like when vegetarians tell you where that hamburger really came from while you're chowing down. plus this is nyc, health code violations abound. flying insects = extra protein. and bierch, wanna buy dave "a decent camera"? well, then quit being a dick.

12 violation points is nothing. All your fancy restuarants have higher scores

If you can't afford to tip the cab driver, you can't afford to take a cab. Hungry Cabbie, you're far more patient than I'd be.

Forget these cheeseballs, Dave. This may have been the most authentic Queens piece ever posted on this hipsterfied blog. And to hmm: you oughtta see the list of violations for your favorite eatery....before the little 'gift' to the inspector. Carry on.

Yea. Is it possible to get a decent camera. Every single photo in these segments makes the food look so unappealing. This is the worst. I think I stepped in this the other morning in the subway
