A couple of years ago, I saw local TV news report about the restaurant
health rating system in San Diego. The report pointed out that (at the
time) there were only two counties in the U.S. that still required the
posting of the health rating: San Diego and (I think) Orange counties.
Riverside, Los Angeles and San Diego have them now.
As does North Carolina(or they used to, anyway).
We have them up here in OR, but I don't know if it's a town or a
county/state thing. I've never actually read them.
heh.
I can say that having traveled to many cities across the country (and
several abroad) that San Diego has, on average, noticeably cleaner and
better maintained eateries. Even the dives. There are some real pits on
the east coast which the locals consider hoity-toity dining but wouldn't
be open a month here.
Eh, most U.S. restaraunts have about the same level of cleanliness in my
experience. My rule of thumb is to check the floor when I walk in.
If they can't be bothered to clean the floor that customers see, odds
are the kitchen isn't someplace I want preparing my food.
I've had some great food in east coast dives. Never really tried the
hole in the wall type places in San Diego (they tended towards Mexican
or Asian, neither of which I enjoy) so I'm not qualified to talk about
those.
