Warning: Hours of wasted time ahead
The Health Department has put restaurant ratings on-line.
You can search by zip-code, neighborhood, type of restaurant (take-out, fast food, etc), or by ratings.
Ah, the peace of mind in knowing that Big Drink Bar #1 is A rated...
And no, I am not part owner of Double D's Den.
So who wants to join me for lunch at The Edge?

Posted by diatriber on Wed., Apr 28, 2004 at 3:37 PMI've been to Double D's a few times. Ask for "Coach", he'll take care of you...
Posted by diatriber on Wed., Apr 28, 2004 at 3:38 PMThe Edge was one of the lowest rated ones!
How about that?
Anyway, I'm in. When?

Posted by tommy crone on Wed., Apr 28, 2004 at 3:48 PMHey guys,
I helped work on that restaurant ratings web site a little bit. (BTW, it was pretty much ready for prime-time in January, but Room 200 wanted to review it, so it didn't go public until early April *sigh*).
It is odd that so many get rated 'A' - but remember, that's based on the very latest inspection. That's why the search is by three-year average rating score - that's a better measure of how well the place is doing overall.
Oh, and part of the reason taverns score so high is that they many of them don't prepare actual food - they just heat stuff up in a microwave!
