The Health Department remains a little cagey about the “vermin” thing, but as Eater reports, the “disease transmission” knock that temporarily shuttered Hawaiian restaurant Hukilau was all to do with a blown out pilot light on their boiler, and not with repeated notes about food poisoning on Yelp. They have now fixed their issues and reopened. Hukilau manager David Trautz says he eats the food six days a week and “can confirm that I have never once been sick from our food.” He blames their “comically large portions” for the various bellyaching complaints of Yelpers.
