Toad-Kissing Chef Fined

There's no place for toad kissing in restaurant kitchens, health inspectors warned an Iowa chef. The man was fined $335 after inspectors saw a video of him licking and kissing two small toads before putting them in his mouth, then placing them on a prep table, the AP reports. The owner of the Japanese restaurant—which was cited in June for 14 non toad-related violations—says he'll pay the fine. The owner says his head chef is a funny guy who needs to learn a little more about restaurant sanitation.
