Burning down the house...
Look at the following images at your leisure , http://archive.is/hsZdy#selection-876.0-886.3 , http://archive.is/YolWI , . Just a couple of examples to ponder. Notice the lack of fire sprinkler heads in the ceiling, no emergency exit lighting, no emergency exit signage above doorways, no fire extinguishers, no pull stations, no fire hose lockers. Somewhat disappointing for a family friendly establishment. Fire Marshal Bill and the Allstate guy would have a field day here. How does this place get an occupancy permit? How do they get insurance? They have a wood burning pizza oven ( I'm pretty sure I saw a pile of fire wood by one of the secret bathroom doors, in some other post).
Edit: Removed link to flicker home page. OOPS Sorry about that.

Depending on the age of the building they could have been grandfathered in if the code at the time didn't require those things. Not sure if this is the case or that the law would support that idea but it's something to consider.

I'd assume business law would require some sort of extinguisher, but we aren't getting a video tour of this place, so we won't know if there really is one. Also, these images are from 2011.

You would think but code laws are a funny matter. It could all change depending on when the building was built, if it was renovated, where it's built at, the size, really a lot of different variables. Again, it's worth taking into consideration before you/we run with the idea that it's not up to code because for all we know they may not be required to have sprinklers or hose lockers or an alarm system.

There should be some sort of OSHA regulation though, no?

OSHA deals with working folks. They might have a rule for what goes on in the kitchen but ot wouldn't dictate the entire building. I guess you would have to look here at the NFPA and then look at local code laws to see if there is anything in addition to federal law.
