Thanks to a recent health inspection, though, it looks like this is information some big city, suit-and-tie vermin have already been privy to.

Have you been to Justin Timberlake’s New York restaurant, Southern Hospitality-a “hotspot” “fine dining” establishment in that it 1) has wifi, 2) serves food and 3) is fine, I guess, if we’re being charitable?

They also wrote that the “food contact surface” was “not properly washed, rinsed and sanitized after each use and following any activity when contamination may have occurred”.

Timberlake opened the restaurant’s first location in 2007 after joining forces with friends Trace Ayala and Eytan Sugarman, although it is unclear how active the new dad’s involvement is now. Additionally, it’s noted that there’s a “non-food surface improperly constructed” with “unacceptable material used”.

All valid hypotheses, and yet the reason matters naught, because to hear it from the Health Department, the kitchen is literally staffed with mice and there’s nothing the casual diner intent on helping Justin Timberlake recoup his investment can do about it. Presence of mice is one of the most disgusting things to find, but to not resolve the issue that is over six months old is worse. In 2013 Southern Hospitality was downgraded to a B after an inspection. Southern Hospitality remains open, but a manager was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Gossip Cop.
