FLORIDA. Twelve restaurants across the state were inspected three or more times between May 8 and June 7, 2026, and two of them still carried high-severity violations by their final visit, including failures that inspectors tie directly to bacterial contamination and uninformed diners eating raw or undercooked food.
The Most Inspected, The Most Cited
Wo Banh Trang Tram on Gandy Boulevard in St. Petersburg was inspected four times between June 3 and June 5, 2026, a span of just three days. By the final visit, state records still showed two high-severity violations: food contact surfaces not properly cleaned or sanitized, and no consumer advisory posted for raw or undercooked foods.
That is not a single bad day. Four inspections in 72 hours, with high-severity failures persisting through the last one, is a pattern the records document plainly.
The facility also drew two intermediate violations: improper sewage or wastewater disposal, and improper sanitizing solution or procedures. Both were present alongside the surface sanitation failure, compounding the contamination picture.
Odd Birds Cocktail Lounge and Kitchen on Anastasia Boulevard in Saint Augustine collected the same two high-severity violations across four inspections that ran from May 22 through June 4. Food contact surfaces not properly cleaned or sanitized. No consumer advisory for raw or undercooked foods. Both still on the books at the final visit.
Odd Birds also had improper sewage or wastewater disposal cited as an intermediate violation, matching one of the intermediate findings at Wo Banh Trang Tram. Two restaurants in different parts of the state, same high-severity failures, same sewage citation, same 90-day window.
Keys Jam-Rock Grill on US Highway 19 North in Tarpon Springs drew one high-severity violation across four inspections between May 27 and May 29: food not cooked to required minimum temperature. The four inspections took place in three days, and the cooking temperature failure was still documented by the end of that stretch.
Frequent Visits, Persistent Issues
Discovery Indian Cuisine on US 19 in Palm Harbor leads all twelve facilities in total inspections, with eight visits logged between May 13 and June 4. No high-severity violations were recorded at the final inspection, but two intermediate violations remained: single-use items improperly reused, and inadequate ventilation and lighting. Eight inspections in 22 days is the most concentrated inspection schedule in this dataset.
Cajun Beach on South Ocean Shore Boulevard in Flagler Beach was inspected seven times between May 13 and May 27. The facility's two intermediate violations at the close of that period were improper sewage or wastewater disposal and multi-use utensils not properly cleaned.
Flame BBQ and Soulfood on 45th Street in Mangonia Park was inspected six times between May 14 and May 23 and exited the 90-day window with no violations on record. LongHorn Steakhouse on Airport Road in Jacksonville, Tacology on South Miami Avenue, and Pogo's Kitchen on Lewis Street in Fernandina Beach each accumulated five inspections in the period and finished clean.
Taco Bell on West International Speedway Boulevard in Daytona Beach and Cantina Louie on SR 13 in Saint Johns each had four inspections and no violations at the close of the window. Agave Azul Cocina Mexicana on Winter Garden Vineland Road in Windermere had four inspections and two intermediate violations remaining: multi-use utensils not properly cleaned, and inadequate ventilation and lighting.
What These Violations Mean
The food contact surface violation at Wo Banh Trang Tram and Odd Birds is one of the most direct contamination pathways inspectors document. Cutting boards, prep surfaces, and equipment that are not properly cleaned and sanitized transfer bacteria from one food item to the next. Pathogens including Salmonella and E. coli can survive on improperly cleaned surfaces long enough to contaminate food prepared hours later.
The consumer advisory failure at both restaurants is a separate but related problem. When a menu includes raw or undercooked items and no advisory is posted, customers who are pregnant, elderly, immunocompromised, or otherwise at elevated risk have no way to make an informed choice. The absence of that notice is not a paperwork technicality. It is the only mechanism those customers have to protect themselves.
The cooking temperature failure at Keys Jam-Rock Grill carries a specific biological consequence. Salmonella in poultry requires an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit to be destroyed. Below that threshold, the bacteria survive and multiply. Undercooked food is among the leading documented causes of foodborne illness outbreaks in Florida, and the violation was still present at the facility's fourth inspection in three days.
The sewage and wastewater disposal violations at Cajun Beach, Wo Banh Trang Tram, and Odd Birds represent fecal contamination risk. Improperly disposed wastewater can reach food prep surfaces, equipment, and employee hands. It is one of the violations that inspectors treat as high-priority precisely because the contamination route is difficult to trace once it occurs.
The Longer Record
The story these 90-day inspection windows tell is not about a single bad inspection. It is about what happens when violations persist across repeated visits.
Discovery Indian Cuisine was inspected eight times in 22 days. That frequency suggests inspectors were returning specifically to verify corrections. The fact that intermediate violations were still present at inspection eight means those corrections were not fully achieved within that window.
Cajun Beach's seven inspections in 14 days follow the same logic. Sewage disposal and utensil cleaning failures that survive seven visits are not oversights. They are management patterns.
The most concentrated sequences belong to Wo Banh Trang Tram and Keys Jam-Rock Grill, both of which saw four inspections in three days. For Wo Banh Trang Tram, high-severity violations were present at the final visit. For Keys Jam-Rock Grill, the cooking temperature failure was still on record at inspection four.
Odd Birds had the longest elapsed time between first and last inspection in the high-severity group, 13 days across four visits. The same two high-severity violations that appeared early in that stretch were still documented at the end.
Seven of the twelve facilities in this dataset finished the 90-day window with no violations. That is the baseline. The five that did not, including the two with high-severity failures still on record at their final inspections, are the outliers the data isolates.
Wo Banh Trang Tram's last inspection on record in this dataset is June 5, 2026. The high-severity food contact surface violation and the missing consumer advisory were both still cited that day.
