Taco Bell construction update in Rockville

Construction of the new Taco Bell restaurant building continues at 1100 Rockville Pike. It's not moving fast enough for diehard fans of the Mexican mega chain. But the building is now enclosed, and as you can see, glass has been installed. Will it be done by the end of the year? I'm not optimistic, given the current status of the construction. This is the best Taco Bell in Montgomery County, so impatience is a virtue.

York County Chinese eatery failed after cockroaches found in kitchen

The state Department of Agriculture conducts annual inspections of food-serving businesses to ensure public safety and safe food-handling practices. Schools are inspected twice per year, according to the Bureau of Food Safety and Laboratories. Whether an establishment is considered compliant or noncompliant is at the discretion of the inspector. There are, however, several violations for which inspectors should automatically consider establishments noncompliant. Called "critical violations," they include food temperature issues, employee hygiene and issues with chemicals and how they're handled. Depending on the severity of the situation, inspectors and their supervisors could file citations or close an establishment. >> Please consider subscribing to support local journalism.

Some sandwich shops close when the dinner crowd goes home. One downtown Baltimore spot keeps the grill running long after most of the city has called it a night. On Fridays and Saturdays, its doors never close at all. Night owls, early risers, office workers, and hotel guests all end up at the same counter for one reason above the rest: the cheesesteak.
