Time for an update to the ever popular Douglas County Food Facility Sanitation Ratings.
I can't say there are too many surprising things about the 2007 list. That's unfortunate. Most of the places that scored an EXCELLENT rating, did so last year as well, demonstrating a commitment to quality and their customers. Sadly, many of the places scoring a GOOD-FAIR rating were also in that same spot this time last year.
The trends in the bottom seem to be Ethnic restaurants, cheap eats and bar that just happen to also serve food. I also saw a lot of bakeries, including JAMES SKINNER BAKING CO which sells product in local grocery stores. [***UPDATE*** Looks like the James Skinner Baking Co. has cleaned up their act. See comments below.] Will any store managers have the guts to make a stand and pull their product if they don't get their ratings up? Speaking of grocery stores, I was a little surprised to see WOHLNERS GROCERY still on the bottom. And a little disgusted to see MATSU SUSHI on the bottom. No sushi place should ever be on the bottom of a list like this. Yuck.
Have a happy and healthy 2008!
