REPORTS OF RATS IN A FOOD BANK AND WE HAVE AN UPDATE ON THAT RESTAURANT THAT HAS BEEN SERVING DRINKING WATER OUT OF A GARDEN HOSE. EYEWITNESS NEWS ANCHOR PATRICK MCMURTRY HAS A LOT OF INFORMATION TO DISH OUT IN THIS WEEK'S BEHIND THE KITCHEN DOOR REPORT. We're coming to you this week from Gibson's Family Restaurant. This place was shut down by Putnam County health inspectors last week when they found people here using water from a spicket at the BP station to fill water glasses and to cook and clean. As you can see, the place....It was supposed to open today, but.... We have a couple of places to tell you about this week. Cabell County health inspectors found some serious issues with the Huntington Area Food Bank. They found rat and mouse droppings in the facitlity and say the mouse traps hadn't been serviced in 3 months. There was also cheese being stored at improper temperatures. Next, we go to Applebee's at Liberty Square in Hurricane. Inspectors found 8 violations including 4 critical. Putnam County health inspectors said there were dirty dishes and utensils in the clean rack and they found dirty pansl. Inspectors also said the ice machine was dirty. That's it for this week's report. Don't forget, you can get your first look at Behind the Kitchen Door Thursday on Eyewitness News This Morning. I'm Patrick McMurtry, I'll see you then.
