Attention NYC Restaurants: You’ll All Be Graded on Your Performance From Here On Out!
Some of you might have already heard that NYC’s Board of Health voted Tuesday to rate cleanliness in the city’s “25,648 food-service establishments” with a publicly posted letter grade. Grades range from A to D and while personally this news brings back memories of cramming for tests in High School, this isn’t really as controversial as foodies may want to dramatize it as. I was a kid in LA when restaurant grades were first introduced and after a year or two of getting used to it, their influence on the eating habits of the population reverted back to normal. Hell, even Zach made one of his first LA Eats a B-student lunch. Where would you stop eating at if they only got a B or C? I’ve got my eye on you Tads!

i think it is a good idea. a lot of restaurateurs don’t like this, including Marc Murphy, but i think it increases visibility of health inspections since you have to go online to find the results. Marc is complaining that if they have a bad day they will get a bad letter, but they will have plenty of opportunity to remedy the situation.
