They scored what!

Admit it. A lot of people worry about the part of the restaurant they do not get to see. 'How clean is it', 'what are they doing to my food', and 'should I worry' are just some of the questions that goes through your mind. Maybe you worry about the condition of the school cafeteria that feeds your children on a daily basis. You should.

Well fear not. The Tennessee Health Authorities places online the scores of their inspections AND what they found at each inspection for all sites and for all to see.

One example is the new Carpe Cafe on Front Street. Just opened their main page and it looks like this.
