This week on DineSafe, two Toronto restaurants were caught operating amidst rodent infestations. And yes, that menacing feeling in your throat is your gag reflex now on alert. Sushi Hana at Yonge and Wellesley was closed for an apparent rodent infestation (and a myriad of other infractions, but I digress), and so too was South China Restaurant at Mount Pleasant and Davisville, both for an infestation and general "gross unsanitary conditions."

Gulp. I'd say ignorance is bliss, but bliss doesn't usually involve one's head over a toilet. There were also a number of conditional passes handed out this week, which suddenly have the impression of being a lot less devastating. In any case, I suspect there will be a few more Torontonians packing their lunches for work tomorrow. Here are a few of the notable guilty parties caught by DineSafe inspections this week.
