A restaurant in East Vancouver has been shut down, a day after a rat was allegedly found in a bowl of soup produced in its kitchen. On Thursday, a video posted by a patron at Crab Park Chowdery showed a dead rat inside a bread bowl of soup. However, Mamie Taylor's restaurant —​ home to a commercial kitchen where the chowder house's soup is made —​ has been ordered to close. VCH spokesperson Tiffany Akins said inspectors found evidence of rodents at Mamie Taylor's and immediately closed the restaurant and commercial kitchen. In an Instagram message, the woman who shot the video said she and her friend immediately told staff about the rat.
