I read an article about a Checkers fast food restaurant being cited for keeping bread in the men’s bathroom, and they were nice enough to link out to a site — myfloridalicense.com
I checked out the site and found a fantastic search engine. Florida keeps records online of all restaurant inspections, and what the restaurants were cited for. I’ve been enjoying checking up on the local eateries. My buddy Corey was telling me how North Carolina requires the inspection score to be visibly posted to diners, and I think that’s a great idea. Some places that you’d think are dirty and disgusting actually have incentives to keep their kitchen very clean. Other restaurants, where you think they have their act together are actually horrible places. Being able to see the score is a useful piece of info when answering the question “How likely am I to get food poisioning?”
