Start with the state: Broward County's failure rate is 50% below the Florida average. Broward County sits at 35 recent high-priority hits. Mix: 2 cafes, 1 Buffet, 1 Fast Food, and 1 Food Truck. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: a 90-day window means the recent inspection stretch, not a verdict on every kitchen in the county.

Emergency Orders
34 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
P F Chang's China Bistro in Fort Lauderdale, Lona in Fort Lauderdale and Tee Jay Thai Sushi in Wilton Manors drew the loudest scorecard in Broward County. 34 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. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: an emergency order means DBPR ordered service stopped until a callback inspection clears it.

Near Miss
35 records this window
Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
ADRIAN FISH RESTAURANT FISH MARKET in Southwest Ranches, THE LITTLE COFFEE SHOPPE in Pompano Beach and TAQUERIA EL JOVENAZO in North Lauderdale carried the front of this Broward County file. 35 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. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: a high-priority violation is the state saying the risk can touch food safety right now.

Closed/Delinquent
197 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.
CHOU CHOU BAY in Sunrise, DE LELASS in Davie and EL RINCON LATINO AMERICANO MS in Sunrise owned the top of the Broward County board. 1 closure confirmed via news, state action, or multiple agreeing social signals. Another 2 surfaced from single-source social signals and remain under review — reported, not confirmed. Main evidence reasons: 200 social or silence signal and 137 DBPR inactive/cancelled status (45/46). Confidence mix: 199 confirmed and 149 suspected. Velocity check: 3 closure-evidence records in the last 90 days. Dated closure signals run from 2011-04-25 to 2026-05-10. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: a closure signal is evidence a place may have gone dark; only verified tier-4 records are confirmed permanent closures.

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.
BARILOCHE GOURMET in Fort Lauderdale, ROCCO'S TACOS in Fort Lauderdale and WOW! WING HOUSE in Tamarac owned the top of the Broward County board. 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). PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: most improved means the recent record got materially cleaner than the prior-year pattern.

They are stylin' out there like a CHAMPION because they kept the kitchen safe for the families and the kids, brother.

🆕 New
Openings
51 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.
Current Broward County tally: 51 opening signals. 226 announced via FB/news/operator signal; 588 DBPR/event-ledger new-license records. Current names include FEDERAL SPA AND RESTAURANT in Hollywood, FAD'S KITCHEN in Pompano Beach and TASTE OF THE CITY RESTAURANT in Miramar. Ledger type mix: 588 new-license records and 226 announcement-led records. Cuisine/venue mix: 269 Unknown and 35 Pizza. Area concentration: 197 FORT LAUDERDALE and 71 HOLLYWOOD. Velocity check: 255 opening signals in the last 90 days, 57 in the last 30. Dated opening signals run from 2023-05-19 to 2026-07-09. 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. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: an opening signal starts with licensing or source-confirmed evidence, not wishful ribbon-cutting.
