Firefly Tapas Kitchen & Bar owner John Simmons pens a piece for the Las Vegas Review-Journal that walks readers through the salmonella outbreak timeline that shuttered the Paradise Road restaurant on April 26. Missing from the "pledge to keep Firefly customers safer" are an apology to the 294 people who got sick (Simmons says Firefly "contributed" to the problem) and an explanation for the 8 and 9 demerits (including spoiled food) the new restaurant at 3824 Paradise Road that opened last Friday received even though Simmons hired a "food safety expert with more than 25 years of experience."
