Plano Restaurant Scores

I used to like this place called Chubbys. Shana, Carter, Lucy, and I went there today and I was almost afraid to eat the food. It didn’t help that they had a plumbing problem. You know its bad when you walk in and your 7-year-old says “Daddy, it has a bad smell.” But we asked for a different booth and it was okay. After we placed our order, I checked Plano’s Food Establishment Inspection Scores website on my iPhone and I wasn’t encouraged.

I browsed the website later and wasn’t surprised to see Chipotle had straight A’s at both of their Plano locations for the last three inspections. Only four D’s (mostly Asian descent), 40 C’s, 200 B’s, 620 A’s (again, many Asian descent). So why out of 620 A restaurants to choose from did we ended up at a C? Just trying something different I guess.

- 13″ Tortilla
- Rice
- Fajita Veg
- Steak
- Tomato
- Red Hot Sauce
- Guacamole
- Lettuce

Calories: 933

A friend wrote an email to me and had this under the signature. I thought it was interesting with the recent passing of the Affordable Health Care for America Act (aka health care reform).
