How Clean is Your Favorite Restaurant?
It’s something that crosses the mind of every diner from time to time; just how clean is the kitchen of your favorite restaurant? You want to know, but then again, maybe not.
A consumer advocacy group just released the findings of a report (pdf) that studied the health of restaurants across 20 cities in America. The "Center for Science in the Public Interest" took a different approach to restaurant inspections and the cleanliness of kitchens. Instead of just looking for the "dirtiest" restaurants and the cities with the worst health inspection records, the CSPI decided to look at how inspectors do their jobs in different cities and the major health hazards at eateries across the U.S.
