Alleged food safety violations, under-the-table payments and more, with great photos. This could develop into quite a scandal. Michael James is also a partner in the Heartland Cafe and the No Exit.
Craig Gernhardt's report is stunning. In part, he writes:
From the looks of things, Michael James is allegedly running a unsanitary food storage distribution network from the back of his home at 1509 West Lunt. That's right, a food cart storage facility right there in Mr. James old, five car garage. And some storage facility he offers his vendors. The garage door is so old and 
rotted, the wood door has big gaping holes for easy rodent access.
From the evidence I've been able to uncover, there are a two dozen or more, half full - gallon jugs of liquid syrup and sticky unwashed dispensing cups all over the place.
The Michael James Food Storage Company LLC uses all their cramped space, even storing sticky syrup on the oily old concrete garage floor. FULL REPORT...
