Introduction to Perfect Inspections
A tiki haven for intoxicating libations, a fresh contender on Pompano’s “Chicken Corner,” a reliable staple for flame-grilled steaks and a homegrown grill known for baby back ribs all aced their clean dining report cards last month.
In August, 109 “gold-star” restaurants and food trucks made the list of perfect inspections because not one violation — minor, intermediate or high-priority — was red-flagged at the time of the surprise visit from Florida safety and sanitation inspectors. Inspections typically take place at random every six months to a year.
Breakdown by County
In Broward County, 75 eateries earned perfect scores. Meanwhile, in Palm Beach County, 34 passed their inspections without a single incident.
