Unexpected Results Come From Latest Restaurant Inspections

When I look at the restaurant inspection reports, I always hope for the best for businesses across Larimer County and Northern Colorado. But this is one of those times it didn't happen.

As the Coloradoan reported, usually I just give the inspection results. Not this time.

Granted it can be very tiny things that have nothing to do with food preparation that land restaurants on the bad end of this list. But to the general public, how would we know?

There are so many options for dining out that as business I would think you wouldn't want something like this to tarnish an otherwise stellar reputation. Just my thoughts, end of rant.
