Today I'm catching up on my news reading, hence my newsie posts. I'm now reading the comments for an article on health inspection of restaurants.
Fernando and I often eat at Scores, a very run-of-the-mill family restaurant. (I hesitate to call it a white-bread restaurant though. The croutons are multi-ethnic.) It is certainly not a *foodie* sort of a place. But I like it because (a) there are few interesting restaurants along our bus routes; (b) we just go for the salad bar, so it's inexpensive; (c) it's relatively healthy, versus much of the processed crapitude in low-mid-expense restaurants; (d) it's clean, including the bathrooms; and (e) the service is uniformly excellent.
I think the last two points are probably connected to how safe the food is. You can only have that level of cheerful and efficient service (every single time we go, from every single staff member) if there's good management; and where there's good management, there will probably be food-safety. Ditto with the bathrooms, as confirmed by this guy who commented on the article I just read: "Ps if the washrooms are clean and scrubbed and well stocked, chances are the kitchen will not kill you. Just my experience as a chef of 25 years."
