This week on DineSafe: Pi-Tom's Thai Cuisine, King Tasty BBQ, Kim Vietnamese Restaurant

The DineSafe database certainly burst a bubble for lovers of Thai food this week. Pi-Tom's Thai Cuisine near Yonge and Carlton was closed down after a "failure to prevent gross unsanitary conditions." One can only imagine the specifics of a charge like that. They also had crucial infractions in the food safety department and an unfortunate failure to control a pest situation.
