83 And Under

The Health Department of the City of Richardson conducts inspections of restaurants on a regular basis. The department publishes the results for all to see. According to the city, "Scores are based on a scale of zero to 100. A score of 90 to 100 is excellent; 80 to 89 is good; 70 to 79 is acceptable; and 60 to 69 is marginal." According to the latest ratings, all of the restaurants in Richardson are acceptable or better. Most are good or even excellent. Dozens achieved a perfect 100 score.

After the jump, a list of under achievers.

---

Restaurants in the list below are under achievers. They are the restaurants rated 83 and below on their latest inspection. Why 83? That's still "good" in the city's estimation. But it's lower than the scores for hundreds of other restaurants in the city of Richardson. It's a score that should encourage you to do better. Why not excellence for everyone? It's not impossible. More restaurants scored a perfect 100 than are on this list.

Only two of these restaurants are on my own personal regular rotation of eating places. Sad to say, they will be taken out of that rotation until their next inspections show they can do better.

How do your favorite eating places stack up? How many are on this list of under-achievers?
