TAMPA, Fla. — A Busch Gardens restaurant was shut down last week after it failed to pass a health inspection.
Records show that Dragon Fire Grill, located inside the park, had multiple violations during its inspection on Aug. 7.
One major violation was listed as a high priority, where the report alleges an employee was stirring coleslaw using their hands, which were submerged five inches past their gloves.
Other high priority violations in the report include staff serving ready-to-eat food with their bare hands, insects found inside the kitchen and raw chicken not being properly stored.
The restaurant was shut down for two days, but reopened on Aug. 9 after meeting inspection standards.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
