I have a fetish. It’s not anything bizarre, but before I get seated in a restaurant, I have to check out the sanitation rating (SR). If I’m a “regular” at a restaurant, I still check the SR. I feel okay if it is 92 rating or above, even though I start getting weary if it stays at the lower rating over time.
I have walked out of restaurants before if it has a 90 SR because I feel that something is just not right at that point in time. I don’t want to get sick or have food poisoning, or just not enjoy my meal.
I routinely check WCNC’s website for the “Eat, Drink, and Be Wary” section, and there are many small restaurants that get higher SR’s (100 or higher rating) than the more established restaurants. Then, there are the lower SR’s at around 79 or 80, typically due to unsanitary conditions or food preparation, bugs, or staff cleanliness issues. YUCK!
Yes, it is my choice to eat out, and I don’t know if the rating system is what it should be so I try to be as aware as I can be of what is going on in the places I eat. By the way, my favorite restaurants are Red Rocks, Harpers, Providence Café, and Zen. Out of these, only Providence Café still allows smoking in their restaurant. But that is another fetish and a story for another day.

I feel the same way. So what do you think about the sanitation rating in the cafe!!?? YUCK!! Needless to say, I don't eat ANYTHING from there anymore. If I must eat on campus, I eat at the Lions Den(and that's even iffy) or out the bookstore. All the money we spend going to this school and they can't even provide us with clean and healthy dining facilities!!!??? There's a serious problem around here! :(
