A viral TikTok and 'hobbyist geoguesser' exposed an unsanitary Bay Area eatery. Now it's temporarily closed
"Earlier this week, a TikTok that captured someone throwing frozen ribs onto the ground behind a restaurant - next to dumpsters and cleaning supplies - went viral. The comment section quickly blew up as people tried to figure out the restaurant's location and name, wanting to report the unsanitary practice, but the video's caption only said it was near San José."
"It's not exactly clear who first confirmed the location of the restaurant, but a Reddit user Thursday, identifying themselves as a "hobbyist geoguesser," said they were able to match details from the video with Pho Love in Milpitas and reported the eatery to the Santa Clara County Department of Public Health. By the end of the day, the restaurant was temporarily shut down."
A viral TikTok showed someone throwing frozen ribs onto the ground behind a restaurant near San José, prompting online users to seek the location. A Reddit user identifying as a "hobbyist geoguesser" matched video details to Pho Love in Milpitas and reported the establishment to the Santa Clara County Department of Public Health. County environmental health officials conducted a full investigation and cited unsafe handling of frozen ribs along with major violations, including a cockroach infestation and inadequate sanitization of utensils and equipment. The restaurant was ordered closed until violations are corrected and acceptable food handling is demonstrated.
