SUMMARY: RIDGELAND, Miss. (WJTV) – The owner of Cock of the Walk, a restaurant in the Jackson area, voluntarily closed the establishment after failing a recent health inspection. The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) rated the restaurant a “C” on June 18. Inspectors observed rodent droppings in dry storage, employees standing in wastewater, and uncovered food containers. Additionally, food contact surfaces were neither cleaned nor sanitized. The last documented infestation, involving cockroaches, was in January 2012. The owner has been given 10 days to address the health violations.
