Triple dose of Dirty Dining in Vegas: Desserts, kabobs and more

When someone’s preparing your food, you probably hope they have clean hands. Three different restaurants were recently cited for failing to do just that, and one spot was shut down.

This week, we have a triple serving of Dirty Dining.

Hand washing is important anywhere food is served. At Bambu Desserts & Drinks on West Spring Mountain, near Decatur, employees weren’t following that rule.

The restaurant was shut down with 40 demerits. Usually it takes 41 demerits or more, but they were closed anyway.

Inspectors from the Southern Nevada Health District said none of the employees had a valid food handler’s health card when they showed up.

The inspection report said one employee was actually using their bare hands to scoop shaved ice into a cup for a customer. Slime and black mold were also found on the ice machine, and they were cited for re-using single-use plastic spoons.
