A popular restaurant is back in business after a short closure ordered by Vancouver Coastal Health.

In addition, Mamie Taylor's has announced that it will no longer lease commissary kitchen facilities to others in the wake of negative news.

This came after a dead rodent was found in the soup dish of a restaurant at a different location that rented cooking space in the basement at 251 East Georgia Street.

Mamie Taylor's emphasized in a statement today that it does not use that area for its food preparation—all of its meals are created on the main floor in an open-plan kitchen.

Video of the rodent's carcass was posted on Instagram on December 27.

It was taken in Crab Park Chowdery, which has denied knowing how the animal managed to get into the dish.

In the meantime, Mamie Taylor's owner, Ron Oliver, is distancing his establishment from what occurred.

"This unfortunate incident has made clear to us that we cannot rely on those businesses who lease our commissary kitchen to uphold the same standard of excellence as Mamie Taylor’s," Taylor said in a statement. "As such, we will no longer lease commissary kitchen space to other restaurants and have severed business ties with Crab Park Chowdery."
