A far east side restaurant has been closed since a viral TikTok showed unsanitary conditions. It still has a chance to reopen if it passes inspection.
Black-owned restaurants in Indianapolis are becoming inventive, branching out from traditional soul food into new areas, including Creole, Asian, pizza and seafood fare.
By Saturday all of the Jordan's signage had been removed and a health department notice of the closure remained on the door. The Marion County Public Health Department attempts to bring into compliance any retail food establishment that has violations, a department spokesman said. “They do not deserve another chance,” Jackson said. “Perpetrators or establishments like the Jordan's at 42nd and Post think it's okay to come into the neighborhood like the one on the far east side and to be deplorable.”The blame does not lie with the county health department, Jackson said. About 30 inspectors are taxed with policing more than 5,000 food establishments. Instead, Jackson said, restaurants need to be held responsible for practices that endanger the health of customers.
Community members say unsanitary conditions at food establishments in their neighborhood is nothing new. A group of Jordanian immigrants opened Indianapolis' first Jordan’s Fish & Chicken restaurant at 7534 Shadeland Ave. in 2004, said Moe Eedous, one of the original owners along with two cousins. Other restaurants owned by Eedous’ family members are found at orderjordansfishchicken.com. They include stores at 5841 Crawfordsville Rd.; 4351 Lafayette Rd.; 7035 E. 96th St.; 404 E. Thompson Rd.; 7003 E. 38th St.; 3681 W. 86th St. in Indianapolis; and 4824 S. Emerson Ave. in Beech Grove. Eedous said a Greenfield location also falls under the umbrella.
