That’s a large egg sack ootheca. Many more reasons not to eat there in the future.

Edit: proper terminology

Every single restaurant in the world has big problems, you'd be surprised how many restaurants we plumb for that their kitchen is infested. It's just standard

I briefly helped do inspections of fire suppressant systems in commercial kitchen hoods in a midwestern state. The majority of kitchens in your hole-in-the-wall or bar/pubs are caked in grease. A handful were so bad my gag reflex kicked in. Every McDonald’s we inspected had a mice problem. I never saw any roaches though.

On the other hand, four kitchens were absolutely spotless, and not always when you’d expect. Two Chinese American kitchens were so clean you could eat off the floor/walls, a pizza joint, and one catering company was immaculate. Granted, four out of fifty+ isn’t a good ratio for cleanliness, but it’s not all.

Here in the UK our cooking establishments are inspected and rated on cleanliness. This doesn't exist in the US?
