Listen, fam, here's the tape: In the Florida picture: Broward County's failure rate is 55% below the Florida average. Broward County shows 28 recent high-priority hits. Mix: 1 American, 1 Chinese, 1 Fast Food, and 1 Italian Steak. Box-score translation: a 90-day window means the recent inspection stretch, not a verdict on every kitchen in the county. That is the box score.

Emergency Orders
36 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
Yo, check the replay on this one: P F Chang's China Bistro in Fort Lauderdale, Lona in Fort Lauderdale and Tee Jay Thai Sushi in Wilton Manors sat at the head of the Broward County list. 36 emergency-order shutdowns in the 90-day window — DBPR ordered the kitchen closed on the spot. These are the most actionable signals: faster than admin actions, faster than license cancellation, faster than corporate dissolution. Across the Red Alert cohort: 1 Chinese, 1 Haitian, 1 Restaurant, and 1 Seafood. Trend line: emergency-order volume is steady against the last public cut. Box-score translation: an emergency order means DBPR ordered service stopped until a callback inspection clears it.

Near Miss
28 records this window
Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
Alright, gang, roll the highlight reel: DIMELO PAPI PINCHOS in Oakland Park, ACQUOLINA in Weston and GYROVILLE 17TH STREET in Fort Lauderdale pulled the heaviest numbers in Broward County. 28 high-priority citations posted in the 30-day window — none of these resulted in an emergency-order closure (those are in Red Alert). They are the near-miss watch list: restaurants that drew inspector attention but stayed open. Any of them could receive a follow-up inspection. The recurring violation labels were HP and INT. Box-score translation: a high-priority violation is the state saying the risk can touch food safety right now. That is the box score.

Closed/Delinquent
196 records this window
Two tiers: confirmed closures (owner-validated posts, news, and external places data that say service has stopped) and DBPR delinquent/inactive licenses (Primary Status Code 45/46) — a regulatory state, not by itself a confirmed closure.
First pitch, and they're already down a run: CHOU CHOU BAY in Sunrise, DE LELASS in Davie and EL RINCON LATINO AMERICANO MS in Sunrise drew the loudest scorecard in Broward County. 1 closure confirmed via news, state action, or multiple agreeing social signals. Another 1 surfaced from single-source social signals and remain under review — reported, not confirmed. Main evidence reasons: 199 social or silence signal and 137 DBPR inactive/cancelled status (45/46). Confidence mix: 199 confirmed and 148 suspected. Velocity check: 2 closure-evidence records in the last 90 days. Dated closure signals run from 2011-04-25 to 2026-05-10. Box-score translation: a closure signal is evidence a place may have gone dark; only verified tier-4 records are confirmed permanent closures. Come on now.

Chronic Violation Record
183 records this window
Active enforcement targets and repeat offenders: restaurants carrying emergency-order history, chronic 11-year systemic violation patterns, or cross-flag enforcement tiers.
Buckle up, because the numbers got loud: 183 restaurants with chronic violation records surface in Broward County on the 11-year pattern view, led by MATCHBOX SAWGRASS MILLS, LA GOURMANDIZE RESTAURANT. The full repeat-offender record sits below. Box-score translation: chronic violation record is our shorthand for an 11-year repeat-offender pattern, not a verdict on the operator.

Most Improved
31 records this window
Restaurants whose recent-window violation count is at least 50% lower than the prior window, with the most recent inspection clean.
Real talk, the scoreboard tells the whole story: BARILOCHE GOURMET in Fort Lauderdale, ROCCO'S TACOS in Fort Lauderdale and WOW! WING HOUSE in Tamarac sat at the head of the Broward County list. 31 restaurants met the sustained-improvement test: at least four inspections in each 12-month window, recent HP+Critical counts cut by 50% or more, and an active license. BARILOCHE GOURMET in Fort Lauderdale dropped HP+Critical counts from 18 to 2 across the two 12-month windows (88.9% better). Box-score translation: most improved means the recent record got materially cleaner than the prior-year pattern. That is the box score.

Clean Plates
130 records this window
Restaurants with multiple inspections in the current quarter and zero high-priority or intermediate violations.
Yo, look at this! In Broward County, we got 130 licensees who walked into the inspection window and came out clean. That means a perfect run through Q2 of 2026. Names like GULFSTREAM PARK THEME PARK CARTS, TAYLOR MADE BBQ, and RED ZEPPELIN were among them. These aren't one-off lucky breaks; these operators are consistent performers. They kept the high-priority violations away across multiple visits. Seriously, that kind of steadiness is rare in this business. GULFSTREAM PARK THEME PARK CARTS pulled off something wild here. That operator stretched a streak free of high-priority issues across 14 inspections, covering nearly 3.5 years. Talk about showing up and doing the work!

New Owners
125 records this window
DBPR ownership-change records in the last 30 days — "Approve Change Owner Request" actions.
Hot take incoming, and the stats back it: AMANTE'S ITALIAN RESTAURANT in Deerfield Beach, JACKS HAMBURGER HOUSE in Oakland Park and 5TH ELEMENT INDIAN GRILL in Pompano Beach put the sharpest marks on Broward County's list. 125 ownership-change filings posted in the 30-day window. Trend line: ownership-change volume is even with the last public cut. These are operator turnovers — a new owner-of-record on an existing license — not closures, cancellations, or revocations. Box-score translation: an ownership-change filing means a new operator took over the license; it does not mean the restaurant closed. Come on now.

Openings
182 records this window
New DBPR licenses plus confirmed opening signals: the places that just joined the map and still need their first public-record track record.
Folks, this is a turnover at the worst time: Total for Broward County: 182 opening signals. 223 announced via FB/news/operator signal; 586 DBPR/event-ledger new-license records. Current names include BLACK FLAMINGO BREWERY in Oakland Park, FEDERAL SPA AND RESTAURANT in Hollywood and HOLLYWOOD BEACH TRIKKE in Hollywood. Ledger type mix: 586 new-license records and 223 announcement-led records. Cuisine/venue mix: 266 Unknown and 34 Pizza. Area concentration: 196 FORT LAUDERDALE and 71 HOLLYWOOD. Velocity check: 249 opening signals in the last 90 days, 48 in the last 30. Dated opening signals run from 2023-05-19 to 2026-07-04. RiskyEats treats these as opening signals: license issue, announcement, or operational evidence can precede the first routine inspection, so the paragraph does not imply a clean inspection history. Box-score translation: an opening signal starts with licensing or source-confirmed evidence, not wishful ribbon-cutting.
