It's also Ice lounge on the same health inspection. The second floor bar has no sink at all. Zero. Would you drink from a place where they had no means to clean anything up? No way to wash their hands. How do they get away with that? Even if you had outdoor temporary concession you need to have hot water otherwise the health department closes you down.

The Sushi is co-owned by:

Lacy Johnson, Sr., a law Partner at Ice Miller and President of the Indianapolis Airport Authority Board, and close friend to Mayor Bart Peterson.($Controller of Contracts$).

"nuff said"

AND

William Mays, owner of Mays Chemicals;

the Indianapolis Recorder, which was until the recently, the exclusive black media in Indianapolis;

the boss of big-mouth racist Amos Brown. Amos complains(screams racism) and Mays puts his net out and collects the droppings;

and finally co-owner, past and present, of many nuisance nightclubs in neighborhoods and hospital districts.

"nuff said"

Both Lacy johnson and Bill Mays used their political and economic myte to acquire "superior" treatment from the City of Indianapolis--both are co-owners of the 300 East Night Club scandal.

Mays and Johnson work with what some of us call the Ghetto Mafia, others call it the Carson Machine--
Mays supplies the kool-aid, Lacy the hammers and band-aid--some folks get fat, others are severely wounded. (Heather Bolejack).

Bolejack's husband works for Mays Chemicals and the jerk from Lousiana who got the money from Bolejack was renting from Mays at a building he own's downtown. This was the same building where the notorius "Guvernment" nightclub was until they were shut down. The Guvernment had posters of Al Pacino with a machine gun and others gangster like prints. There were several shootings and killing there. The owner of that club was the son of the peashake house owner on 34th central, slim carruthers.

"nuff said"

It's time to "Dismantle the Machine--it has substituted itself for the will of the people.

Does anyone recall who the owners of Sushi On The Rocks are? Remember, this was the place where the photo of Heather Bolejack, her husband and Michael McKenna was taken for Party Crashers at the grand opening. As I recall, it included a couple of prominent investors in the 300 East bar. Can anyone confirm?

New York also published the names of every restaurant that failed inspection and WHY. Yikes! That was some scary reading.

The sad truth is, an overwhelming majority of these establishments are ethnic food eateries.

Fact two, sad but true, is that a large number of their workers are, let's just say, not totally documented.

My rule of thumb: only one or two "local" Chinese restaurants in town get my business...tried and true over multiple years, and few if any health violations.

The likely culprit here is foreign cultures, from which many of the workers come, and the standards of cleanliness/sanitation in those countries do not match ours.

Every Sunday the Washington Post used to publish the previous week's health code violators. Routinely, it was the paper's second- or third-best-read piece.
I'm not sure if they still do it.

As a consumer, you have the right to ask to see the restaurant's health code violations record.

It might shock you.

Good report.

The clip they show where someone is sqeezing water out of lettuce with one gloved hand and one bare hand is frightening! Makes you think of the Seinfeld episode where Poppy steps out of the stall in front of Jerry and doesn't wash his hands and goes and puts his hands in the pizza dough.

I can think of a few other things I would like this reporter to investigate!

That is just scary. In Fort Wayne, the Journal Gazette regularly publishes the results of food inspections, and usually there are not more than 1-2 "serious" violations for a given restaurant. Typically there are none. Hopefully that is because the restaurants are cleaner, not because the inspectors are incomplete.
