Which in some cases I think is a little bit hypocritical. I doubt that too many of us could pass a health inspection in our own homes. Hahaha.

But seriously if you drop your fork on the floor who goes to the drawer and gets another one? Etc.

And Susan keeps this dump pretty clean.

It’s one thing to use a fork off the floor for yourself. It’s totally different if you use that fork in a restaurant on unsuspecting customers that relies on cleanliness 

More bad news for Summit County restaurants. A new set of culprits.

While the quality of the meal might be great. We did deliver very high quality products that were not cheap at all

The cleanliness of the kitchen and the places where the food is prepped and prepared are what I was talking about

Some places it looks like you could eat off the floors. Others I wouldn’t step foot in the restaurant

And frankly that shocks me given the high quality of any meal I've ever had from Ken Stewart's. My best pal worked at Summit fish way back in the early seventies. The story he always told me was the wine merchant owner would inspect the fish refuse the shipment and he would take that same fish to another of the high and restaurants. There is some sort of product you pour over fish that has started to stink kind of like Febreze.. he said they used it all the time.

To Mike, yes indeed there are some ticky tacky violations out there. A friend of mine who is just chosen as best chef for years running told me they're just looking for anything. He said he got one for having a cracked spatula.

Except in extreme cases I'd be willing to bet that most people who worry about health code violations would have their home kitchen shut down and pretty short order. ?

When I lived in Cleveland, I worked for a local food distributor. I delivered to most of the so-called high end restaurants. Most were clean or really clean, but there were some that I would not eat at. Ken Stewarts was one of the latter

Don't know how many of you guys live around Summit County. I was shocked by Ken Stewart's. Church's Chicken on V Odom; not so much.
