A Japanese hibachi steakhouse in Florida permanently closed its doors after seven customers alleged they tested positive for methamphetamine hours after eating at the restaurant earlier this month. Management at Nikko Japanese Steak House, a hibachi restaurant in Pace, which is about 15 miles north of Pensacola in northwest Florida, wrote in a Facebook post on July 7 that they would permanently close the restaurant after 10 years in business, blaming news reports and online social media posts about the allegations.

The Santa Rosa Sheriff's Office opened an investigation on July 10 after two groups of people who were seated together and ate at the restaurant reported feeling "drugged" and odd after eating at the restaurant the day before.Members of both groups went to the hospital where at least seven people test positive for meth, according to the sheriff's office report. A to-go container of food from the restaurant was tested and came back presumptive positive for meth, the report said.

Deputies, according to the report, talked with several people during the investigation – the restaurant owners, restaurant employees, staff, and management, as well as customers. They tested two soy sauce bottles and two soy sauce packets, which tested presumptive positive for meth. However, it was also noted in the report that they could have been false positives since all tested positive.

I wonder if it was sabotage since the soy sauce bottles and togo packets had it?

Isn’t this the story where the hibachi chef didn’t even work at that restaurant?

“She also said that her son was up until 7 a.m. and began to clean his room. She said her son mentioned that he was tired, but couldn’t sleep, that his jaw hurt, and that he was excessively chewing his lip. “

Sounds more like coke......don’t ask me how I know. 😏

I heard that Hunter Biden called the restaurant to make dinner reservations after reading this story.

Too bad it’s closed. Poor Hunter can’t catch a single break these days.

It was very accessible in Florida in the 80s.
