L.A. County Restaurant Closures

I haven't done this in ages, in fact I think the last time I did it was on the old blog.  That being the case, it's been way too long, so let's visit the most recent list of L.A. Country Restaurant Closures, shall we?

According to their website, Caffe Primo is a trendy celeb favorite.  Or at least it was before this happened:
CAFFE PRIMO, 8590 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood CA 90069
Date closed: September 6, 2011
Date reopened: September 8, 2011
Reason for Closure: Vermin harborage, vermin infestation

I totally read this as "Lorena Bobbitt House", so as far as I'm concerned it's just as well they shut it down:
LORENA KABOB HOUSE, 1547 Grande Vista Ave., Los Angeles CA 90023
Date Closed: September 19, 2011
Date Reopened: September 21, 2011

Not any more!

Date reopenend: September 15, 2011

Not related to the network, but screwing up just as much:
NBC SEAFOOD RESTAURANT, 404 S. Atlantic Blvd., Monterey Park CA 91754
Date closed: September 21, 2011
Date reopened: September 22, 2011

Insert obvious joke here:

Being part of a famous chain doesn't give you an edge.  The current list of shame includes Boston Market (Monterey Park), Chipotle (Palmdale), Denny's (Van Nuys), Domino's (Bellflower), Jack in the Box (Carson), Johnny Rockets (Alhambra), KFC (La Puente), McDonald's (San Pedro), Panda Express (Studio City), Pizza Hut (Torrance), Popeye's (Hawthorne), Subway (on Sunset in Los Angeles) and *gasp* Starbucks (Hacienda Heights).

Don't forget to check those letter grades when dining out.  Happy eating!
