The Italian Grille’s Food Safety Score Is Hopefully An Anomaly

So nearly everyone in town loves The Italian Grille & Cafe, or at least it seems that way.  So I decided to check it out. The food was great.  The atmosphere was great.  The staff was great. The health inspector score, however, was somewhat less than great, which put a damper on all the warm fuzzies I [...]

McDonald’s In Hendersonville Has Something To Hide

McDonald’s on Main Street in Hendersonville has something to hide:  their latest health inspector score. It’s state law that restaurants must display their most recent food safety inspection score in an area easily viewable by the public.  And McDonald’s is apparently above that law, because if you went in there right now, you won’t find it [...]

QDoba and Steak & Shake Serving Fresh, Safe Food

We highlight really bad health inspector food safety scores from time to time–hoping to increase awareness a bit.  So it’s only fair that we show the other side of the coin, and focus on a really great food safety score as well. This week we’re praising two local restaurants for their great food safety scores (and [...]

Double Check Your Tacos

Health Inspection Score Dos Margarita’s, Hendersonville 53 We used to go to Dos Margarita’s back when it was called Loco Lupe’s.  Didn’t even know they’d changed names (and owners, from what I’m told) until a few months ago. And the name isn’t the only thing that’s changed. Apparently, they’ve also changed food safety philosophies, switching from “clean, safe food” to [...]

May Want To Give Fulin’s Asian Cuisine A Few Weeks To Clean Up

Health Inspection Score Fulin’s Asian Cuisine, Hendersonville 60 So the Sumner Shortcuts gang is pretty nuts about Fulin’s Asian Cuisine–in the Wal-Mart shopping center on Indian Lake Blvd.  We’ve been there three times in the last month. The decor is upscale, the waitstaff are very attentive, and the food–while pricey–is some of the best Asian food you can get [...]

Panera Bread Food is Plenty Safe to Eat

Food Safety Score Panera Bread, Hendersonville 90 Health Inspection scores are pretty important.  They can tell you how much effort your favorite restaurant is putting in to keeping their food safe and clean. Inspections are part of state law, and each restaurant must have at least one inspection for every sixth months–and can have more than that. The initial inspection [...]
