RESTAURANT REPORT

By MADELON HYNES
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

WHAT IT MEANS

The Southern Nevada Health District conducts random inspections of local restaurants. An establishment receives an A grade if it has received no more than 10 demerits. A B grade is given to those establishments that receive 11 to 20 demerits, and a C grade is given to any establishment that receives 21 to 40 demerits. If an establishment receives more than 40 demerits, it is closed immediately. The grades are posted at the time of the inspection. The establishment has the option of requesting a reinspection before its next scheduled inspection.

Bajio Mexican Grill, 4235 S. Fort Apache Road, received 13 demerits April 13. Violations included chemicals not stored properly. GRADE: B

Bootlegger Bistro restaurant, 7700 Las Vegas Blvd. South, received 20 demerits April 13. Violations included uncovered food in walk-in freezer. GRADE: B

    Buyer beware! Caveat emptor. If you get sick from one of these joints, it's your OWN FAULT.

    Let the industry regulate itself! Just like the mortgage industry.

    The answer to these, and other pressing problems (like the hepatitis / reused syringe colonoscopy scandal) is obviously more right-wing deregulation!

    I mean, who do we trust more? The bureaucratic Health Department, or good, God fearing, hard working folk like Wen Wei Hue who can't speak a lick of English, and was taught everything about food poisoning by his great grandfather (Magic Wok) Sam.

    More deregulation is the answer. I heard it from Republicon alpha-male Flush Rimjob.
