How many of you guys live in an area where restaurants display a health grade on the entrance of their establishment? 
In LA they look like that.
I notice all the chinese restaurants never score higher than a B.

well one or the others. It would display only A, B or C not all three at once
like an A is a health score of 90-100
B is 80 - 89
C is 70 - 79
Anything less than that would only display the score number not a grade
In LA a min of C must be achieved or the restaurant would be shut down.

I've never even heard of grades for a restaurant being posted before. Is it a regional thing? | |

The only place I've seen letter grades like that posted at are resturants in and near Los Angeles. I'm pretty sure that other cities do the same thing in checking resturants, but the signage out in LA is always in a highly visible spot. | |

In LA they have to display them, and I have heard that they have to HAVE them in other places but not display them. However, if you walk into any restaurant and ask to see their health report card thing, I think there is a law they have to show you.
As a rule, I will eat at B places if I have heard they are worth it from people. C, no. | |

Rule of Chinese restaurants in LA county...
As authenticity and taste goes up, health grade goes down.
there is not a single non chain/franchies chinese restaraunt that has a grade of A. All chinese restaraunts are B or less
The lowest grade I saw was a 57
This was a black angus in monterey park. They were shut down

I see a lot of those in Mexican restaurants. Usually the grade B's have the best food, even if it's a hole in the wall. | |

So why LA? Before restaurant grades were established, did restaurants in LA have significantly more problems than anywhere else?
Btw, good to know that a restaurant with a B grade often has better food. What about price? If two restaurants have roughly the same menu, would the B restaurant typically be cheaper than the A restaurant? | |

We do it the old-fashioned way, where restaurant inspections are posted in the newspaper, online, and also on public access TV as well (not sure about the last one)
I was reading the report today and found out why a Cielito Lindo I've enjoyed eating at before was shut down. 9 critical violations...ouch. | |

And it's the most authentic too! *grumbles* Which is kinda sad in a way...it's like an unwritten rule that if the knives are stored dirty, you know the food's going to be good. The knives are only dirty because they're loved... XD | |
