VIRGINIA — Some signs of a restaurant with problems are easy to spot: Weird smells, crawling insects or unkempt employees are all red flags. But sometimes the problem is harder to pin down, such as food stored at improper temperatures, unclean kitchen equipment, or insufficient handwashing.
Some recent restaurant inspections throughout Virginia uncovered expired milk, dead bugs near ice machines, and dirty floors.
Then there are commercial kitchens that are immaculately clean, surpass all safety standards and dish up delicious food.
