For second time in six weeks, Mattapan restaurant shut for health violations
By adamg on Thu, 03/29/2018 - 1:02pm
UPDATE, 3/31: The restaurant passed a re-inspection on March 30 and can re-open.
A city health inspector yesterday ordered Edu and Den's, 643 River St., shut for a series of violations that included ample evidence of a rodent infestation, improper dish cleaning and bags of construction mortar and joint compound being stored with food.
The city had shut the restaurant last month for infractions that included cold food kept at temperatures that were too warm and bags of construction mortar and joint compound being stored with food.
The restaurant can reopen once it fixes the violations.

I did find that their
dumplings were a little heavy [cementitious] and that they were trowelling on the sauces.
They used joint compound
to make marijuana brownies
Grading
I'm trying to figure out how this restaurant still has an "A" grade despite repeated violations. The system seems pretty rigged when restaurants can just pay for a re-inspection when violations are found. Less informative to the patron, and more money for the city. Repeat violations should really result in a lower grade that can't be raised by paying a fee.
Again I will ask the question
How do they have an "A" rating from the City?
Sure, their rating is based on their best inspection, but the inspection is noted as "Pass with minor violations." That sounds like a B, tops. And their body of work- 3 temporary suspensions and 3 "violations persist" notes- certainly merits not giving them an A.
If the city is going to have grade inflation with their ratings, just stop giving them out.
Why is the rating based on their best inspection
and not the average? Like a student getting an A for a course because he aced one test, although he got Cs and Ds on the eight others.
Stupidity, thy name is the City of Boston.
That said
Their best inspection was not an A.
