I have lived in areas where health department inspections were reprinted in the local paper weekly or sensationalized weekly by a local TV reporter. Here in Fl, I don't think that restaurants are even required to post the scores. I found an app called "what the health" and now I don't feel like eating out much.

I was in JAX last week and every place I was taken or we ordered food from had a low score. I was very cautious. No one else seemed overly upset. I was especially concerned over food temperature violations and presence of insects. I saw one place with a 36 and an endless list of violations. And it was a repeat inspection! Most of the worst violators were Japanese places, especially hibachi grill type establishments.

Here at home I have crossed several restaurants off my list, including the nearest Bonefish.

I don't think I am being too severe in my response. There are too many restaurants in the area to bother eating at the dirty ones. I recommend the app if you want to be informed.
