Too funny. Looks like a "kick me" practical joke.

You do know there's an "A" in "Beast"?

There is a kosher Restaurant in Midtown that isnt embarrassed of their "B". I don't know how they stay in business.

They stay in business because it's always full

I recall seeing a B on Mike's Bistro (old location) as well for the Delta SkyClub at JFK

Somehow this system managed to stigmatize anyone below an "A". These ratings are based on extremely strict regulations that are really really hard to follow for practical reasons. I've spoken to an owner of a prominent restaurant (who, BTW, has an A), and he told me that people have no idea what kind of vicious screening they have to go through to get (or keep) that A. So to say that you wouldn't walk into an establishment with a B is like saying you wouldn't walk into your own home kitchen (which probably barely makes a C), if you're familiar with the regulations. This system is pretty good for the customers, but is a literal killer for small businesses.

I dont have any of those violations in my kitchen.

If you cant run a clean shop dont blame the city. Its a fair system with opportunities to be heard and to correct violations.

if you display the "B" it means youve exhausted all options with the city and dont really care because you have a captive consumer base, i.e. kosher consumers with limited options.
