Another Run-in with the Law

Some of my more bulldogged readers may recall when I reported several months ago about Good Stuff Eatery's run-in with the local health inspector. The Top Chef was let off with a warning that time, but sources tell me this weekend Good Stuff Eatery had another somewhat serious incident. Various reports indicate that the restaurant had too many seats and stools when the code inspector came by on the evening of 23 April. A scuffle ensued as employees attempted to lock the door and remove the offending seats. Police quickly arrived on the scene, but not before one bystander left saying, "I just grabbed my burger and got out of there." As employees rushed to block photographs of the code violations, they were cut short by the authorities. Thus preventing what could have been a DC Gov't versus Top Chef battle royale. No word yet on whether the District government will follow up on this infraction, or if Chef Spike has managed to evade the negative repercussions of his popularity. This foodie managed to get a shake tonight, and nothing seemed amiss. So, here's hoping the Good Stuff establishment will start its second year in the neighborhood with a cleaner slate.
