The new rat and roach report with Jeff Ehling
No one could ever replace our late Marvin Zindler, but we're keeping much of his important work living on.
Marvin's original Friday Rat and Roach report highlighted health problems at area restaurants, and we will continue to bring you this valuable information, but this time with Jeff Ehling.
Here is a way you can look up a Houston restaurant's inspection report.

This link gets you there, but we need to give some instructions too.
1. You'll need to enter the name exactly as it appears.
2. Second, you need to check out the dates, make sure your search start date goes back at least three months. Some restaurants are reviewed once a year, so you may need to adjust the year if nothing comes up.
3. You'll need to click on the restaurant name when it appears to see the inspector's findings and corrective actions taken
Nice job Jeff. Like that you do the good restaurants as well as the bad reports. Was interesting. The rest of the woman on my block liked it too. Refreshing.
Thank You

Good job! Certainly big shoes to fill, but you certainly got off to a good start!

What happened to showing the rat and roach report on Friday night?

Thanks for the kind words! We really miss Marvin around here. The Rat & Roach report was a source of debate over the last few weeks. As you can imagine, it's difficult to take up the work done by someone like Marvin. We all wanted to continue the stories, but felt we needed to make the reports look different. That's one of reasons the decision was made to air them Thursday. We also felt that may give people more time to research the restaurants they visit on Friday and Saturday. We hope you enjoy them. By the way, Marvin's producer, Lori Reingold just filed a "Marvin's Angel" story today at 11 a.m. We are calling the stories "Action 13 Anglels". Lori did a great job!
Jeff

How do you report a restaurant food that made you sick?

How do I report a health issue at a restaurant that I want to be investigated? It was a TERRIBLE experience and I can't seem to find a way to report it to anyone.

Serious health violations should be reported to the health department.
Please contact them if you see serious infractions.
We don't want to eat there either if its not clean. Thank you, Larry Clockwant
