8 Critical problems within this short a period of time leads me to believe that TJ Ribs had a massive food borne poisoning epidemic that hits its customers. Someone check the legal records to see how many lawsuits have been filed against them for listeria or other contaminated food injuries in the last year.
No other reason that the LAZY DHH would shut down a restaurant because they are more worthless than DOTD in getting stuff done.

It doesn't take all that much. I worked at a chain restaurant that a friend managed back home during my breaks in college. The place was pretty clean. They shut down the bar area once until they could get the leak in the sink fixed or something small like that, because that was against code and could get a citation from the health inspector.
It's damn near impossible to shut down a restaurant for uncleanlines. There are few things that can force an immediate shutdown.
No running water
No refrigeration
sewage backup

I tried to get a table at 8:00 on a Wednesday night a few months ago and it was a 45 minute wait. Its still plenty popular. Its not my favorite but service is fast and the prices are decent at lunch.

Yeah, it really takes a lot to get shutdown by the health department. I have been in hundreds of kitchens and seen all kind of nastiness during my time in restaurant sales. I have been in all major chains and many locations. Most of the time if there is an issue the restaurant is allowed time to fix it and then have a re inspection. I honestly can't think of a time a kitchen got closed unless it was a rat or bug issue.
My list of places I won't eat is long from my time in the industry but I have only seen the health department shut down a place a few times.

I agree there. My point was Ninfas is still good IMO. But so many options now have made it less of a go-to place on weekend nights that it was in the 90s. TJ used to be standing around mingling with other whos-who types by the bar back then.
It's still my favorite Messican in town.

i'll ask my buddie in a little while, he's a DHH inspector. Used to work this area, but transferred away.
it's very hard to shut down a restaurant from what he's told me.

The incident I stated was shutting down a small area of the restaurant (the bar), and this was done by the management to make sure there was no risk of being cited.
But I think a place can be shut down for less than what you listed.
-Water not being hot enough to sanitize dishes/silverware
-Overspray from the dish cleaning area "contaminating" clean dishes
Hell, I watched a cook dry out his weed (from rain) under the heat lamps while serving food.
It's been years since I worked in food service, so I don't remember everything, but I remember certain things standing out that I don't think an inspector would have turned a blind eye to. I mean they listed that the frequency at which food prep areas were cleaned was not enough. I don't ever remember cleaning food prep areas except for at the beginning and end of a shift.

This just in from an inside source.
Leaky Roof and Flooding caused the shutdown.

Im hearing this is the reason for the shutdown. No hot water. Also, that this is a voluntary shutdown to avoid having to be shutdown by DHH. They should reopen Thursday or Friday

There was a Chinese restaurant in the mid 90s in BR, Chings I think. Someone started a rumor that they were shut down by the board of health for serving cat. The rumor affected their business so much, that they put disclaimers in their commercials "Was not closed by the board of health."
Anyone else remember this?
