Restaurant Scores

I just don’t have time to update the restaurant inspection page.  Instead, I’m going to list only the low and failing scores here.   69 and below is failing.  The first one is just shocking–and why can’t we find out what the infractions are??  With a score THAT low, the restaurant must have done something SERIOUSLY wrong.  The third one is almost as bad.

Bonz Sports Grill, Fairburn Road–32
Dairy Queen, Fairburn Road–67
Hunan Chinese Restaurant, Fairburn Road–38
Hudson’s Hickory House–68
Quaker Steak & Lube–70 (Note: This is a passing score, but if it had been a 69, it would have been failing)
Tony’s Mexican Grill–78

Mayfield Ice Cream Recalled

How does this happen???

Mayfield issues recall for ice cream
Atlanta Business Chronicle
by Lauren B. Cooper

Mayfield Dairy Farms said it is voluntarily recalling containers of its vanilla ice cream that may be contaminated with ammonia .

The ice cream manufacturer said Wednesday that the recall includes more than 14,000 units of its 1.5-quart Mayfield Homemade Vanilla Select Ice Cream.

The product may contain ammonia, the company said in a news release, which could cause headache, nausea, vomiting and irritation of the throat.

It said the product was distributed through numerous retail outlets in Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida.

Possibly contaminated containers will have a code date of 03/17/10 and plant code of 010176, found on the lid.

Restaurant Inspection Scores

Want to know why the scores on the blog haven’t been updated in almost two months?  The Board of Health hasn’t updated them in almost four months–on March 2, it will be four months from the last posted inspection score.  Looks like much hasn’t changed from the old system in terms of how often they update the scores.
