Description

Another "restaurant" opens in Fort Lauderdale under the radar. Another place serving prepared foods without a DBPR license.

This seems like a neat loophole for you restaurant enthusiasts. Open with a "coffee shop" license, and then start selling prepared foods. Gran Forno Pronto has done the same thing and there doesn't seem to be a penalty. Gran Forno got nailed for not having properly trained managers, but I don't see that there was any penalty, nor were they instructed to get a DBPR license.

Why bother dealing with more frequent inspections from the DBPR when you can play the game and deal with the more lenient Dept of Agriculture?

This space is up for lease, so I assume they're closing when their lease is up, or they're trying to get someone to take their lease.
