VA Restaurants Cited: Fruit Fly Infestation, Dead Roach, Dirty Dishes

VIRGINIA — Some signs of a restaurant with problems are easy to spot: Weird smells, crawling insects or unkempt employees are all red flags. But sometimes the problem is harder to pin down, such as food stored at improper temperatures, unclean kitchen equipment, or insufficient handwashing.
