Of Mice and (Other Four-Legged Critters)

Dinosaur BBQ, the Grand Marquis Coterie's dining establishment of choice, was recently inspected by the NYC Department of Health, and subsequently received a number of stomach-churning citations, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Evidence of mice or live mice present in facility's food and/or non-food areas.

• Evidence of rats or live rats present in facility's food and/or non-food areas.

At eighteen violation points, the restaurant missed the threshold of twenty-eight points, which would have triggered an official "Notice of Violation." According to the Department of Health, "(t)he violation point total is above the average violation point total of 14, for all NYC restaurants on their most recent inspection."

So, who's up for some ribs?

The GMC Video of the Week is "Nasty Dan," by Johnny Cash. Featuring Oscar the Grouch, it is pretty much the best thing ever. Also, I'd like to think that the song is about me.

Thanks to GMC Category A member, Marquis de Modig, for this week's selection. High five!

I'm totally rocking the unironic ironic moustache right now. Photograph evidence of said facial hair configuration is not forthcoming. My apologies to all interested parties.
