Where can I find a list of health department citations and/or food contamination reports for restaurants in my area? Google is not helping.
Probably at your local health enforcement office. Your town/county’s website should point you in the right direction.
Local TV news has it here also, on air as well as on their website.
If your town is Seattle, you can find it here. If not, you might be able to use that site to figure out some keywords to search on.
The NY Times used to publish the citations every week, until it was discovered that crooked food inspectors were shaking down restaurants that didn’t want to show up in the paper. Damn shame, since that was my favorite column. I used to be able to predict them.
