Ugh. And I kept getting the salmon, too... I wonder if that's why I got sick a couple of times the past couple of months, when I rarely do otherwise.

43 is riDICulous. It's surprising to see which Kosher places are actually the cleanest...

Ugh - just realized the inspection was 2/13. That means they didn't fix it up during the month they had... while we were eating there.
