Kudos to Fuel at 95th and 4th for a perfect restaurant inspection on Feb 7. No violation points.

Not like my new unfavorite pastry shop Jean Danet, which back on Dec. 15 had 62 violation points (including flying insects, mice, and a live animal) and then on Jan. 30 had 65 violation points (including expired milk, mice, and a live animal. Still with the mice and the live animal. Maybe there is something to that Ratatouille film).

But anyhoo, kudos Fuel. Kudos.

PASTRY NEWS

I noticed today that the little bakery next to Starbucks at 75th and 3rd has gone out of business. I''m probably the last person to realize this news but there you go.

And speaking of bakeries, I was shocked to learn that Jean Danet French Pastry on 5th Ave. was inspected on Jan. 30th and cited with 65 violation points! Among the violations were

• mice
• not vermin-proof
• live animal
• improper use of pesticide
• expired milk

Who do the inspectors think is baking the pastries? It's a French Pastry shop. Haven't they seen Ratatouille? Hello. So I say piffleposh to the mice and not vermin proof violations. Vive le souris!
