2 Fort Worth restaurants close due to serious problems found in health inspections
Two Fort Worth restaurants were temporarily shut down by city health inspectors after they were found to have insufficient hot water supply in inspections conducted from March 6 to March 12, according to data from the city compiled by the Star-Telegram.
Yogi’s Bagel Cafe at 2710 S. Hulen St., which scored a 21 in its March 9 inspection, and Ronnie’s Catfish No. 6 at 4158 E. Rosedale St., which scored a 14 on its March 9 inspection, both closed due to a lack of hot water.
Yogi’s said it was only closed for about an hour to fix the water heater and then were able to reopen after water temperatures were back up to an acceptable level and there are plans to put in extra measures to make sure hot water temperatures don’t drop and cause problems again.
In Fort Worth, a perfect restaurant inspection score is a 0. Any restaurant that scores higher than 30 on the demerit system is required to immediately fix the worst problems and clean up the rest within 48 hours.
