Popular LA burger joint shut down after failed health inspection
New York Post • • health
Key Points:
- The Win-Dow, a popular smashburger spot in Los Angeles' Silver Lake neighborhood, was ordered to close by health inspectors due to a rodent and vermin infestation.
- The closure sparked debate among locals, with some blaming the restaurant and others attributing the problem to a widespread rat population in the area, noting nearby businesses like Modern Bread & Bagel also faced similar closures for vermin issues.
- The Win-Dow has expanded rapidly across Los Angeles but has faced challenges at its Silver Lake location, including past backlash for serving Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, which fueled negative online sentiment.
- Despite the closure, management posted a sign claiming the restaurant was "temporarily closed for maintenance," a message met with skepticism by the community.
- Attempts to get a comment from The Win-Dow were unsuccessful, as an employee hung up when contacted by the media.
