My wife and daughter, grandson and I had lunch in a hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant here one Saturday.
While we were eating, my grandson, who was just about 3 at the time hit the aluminum window frame next to our table with his fist for some odd reason.
All of a sudden, thousands of roaches came pouring out from underneath it!
Just like that scene in the movie ‘Health Inspector’ with Larry the Cable Guy where he kicked the toe-plate under the counter............
It was in a small saucer, and there was something in the center, that I figured was a pepper or whatever.
One of the other guys was more curious, and forked it up.
It was a dead cockroach.
Others from work had similar experiences to yours, including a number of roaches scampering out from underneath a cloche.
We stopped going, and it "experienced" a kitchen fire in the middle of the night a month or two later, and didn't reopen.
