It would appear that even the swankiest grocers in tony Georgetown have the same issues as under-refrigerated warehouses in industrial Northeast D.C. WUSA9 health warden Russ Ptacek reports that Dean & Deluca flunked a health inspection and was ordered to close today, with city officials citing cockroaches in the fancy food stores, birds flying throughout the store and leaving their droppings on the patio, and mice feces sitting by the cheese.

From the Department of Health’s report on Dean & Deluca:

Live birds, rat droppings, and mice droppings found inside of the cafe behind the soda-reach in refrigerators and toward the back next to the rest rooms. Live roaches and mice droppings cited around the cheese section in the customer service and product display area.

Gross! It’ll be a while before we buy any high-end charcuterie or canapés. This is even more disgusting than that time Hannibal Lecter went to Dean & Deluca. Ptacek reports that the store passed its re-inspection and has re-opened.
