Hi Michael,

 ML> Since when is C failing? Anyhow, I'd probably tend to go with B
 ML> places, because any restaurant that focuses on "the highest level

 ML> ingredients.

The Raleigh newspaper, up until a couple of weeks ago, published the
results of food inspections at local eateries around the area in the
Wednesday paper.  I don't know why they dropped it; it was very nice to
know the rating if we didn't know anything about the place.  I would
rather have a higher rating; they published both letter and number
grade, as well as the reasoning for the grade.  I don't want to take a
chance on eating food that was stored or prepared in less than proper
conditions. Yes, you might call it a personal quirk but my health is at
risk if I eat something that should have been cooked or stored properly.
And, yes, a lot of the A/90 (or higher) grade places we've eaten a have
not relied on prepackaged or mistreated (to the best of our knowledge)
ingredients.

 DD> This system can only benefit the restaurant industry, and the health
 DD> board has been eminently reasonable in what it proposes to do. What's
 DD> more, the public overwhelmingly favors the idea. In a recent survey by
 DD> my company, 83 percent of respondents said that they would like to have
 DD> grades posted.

I sure would!  It gives that bit of assurance that the food handlers
know how to do their job properly.
