I like to call restaurants posing as a health inspector and tell them that they are due for a health inspection at the same time I plan on eating there.

Dumb...F.Y.I. Health inspectors never call ahead of time. Thats a fact.

Tell me what restaurant wouldn't heed that call though! Health Inspectors may never call, but I bet this would still work like a champ!

being a former restaurant manager i DO KNOW FOR A FACT that some health inspectors call ahead of time (usually they are paid off to do so!) and the scramble to clean is quite hilarious. kudos to you for taking matters in your own hands. hint: eat in restaurants with a visable open kitchen where you can see the chefs... they take great pride in their work & LUUUUV to be complemented!!

Health inspectors never call before showing up but most restaurant employees are too stupid to know that.

Try this one. When you go to a restaurant carry a clipboard and jot things down in it. Your food will never look better!

I went to school before and during intergration.A now well known guy worked as a waiter at an all white high class restaurant. He told how he often spit in the plates before he exited the kitchen.

An inspector doesn't call before they come, but some places have a type of "buddy system" and will tip off other places if they catch wind that an inspector is coming, or if the inspector has been to see them

That is a truely and wickedly brilliant idea!!
Remove this stupid comment

I think this is a really great idea, however, being a restaurant owner in a fairly small town, our Health Inspector eats at our establishment on a regular basis. So, we are always on our toes! And we pride ourselves on a very clean kitchen! But I have seen some NASTY one's!

CA counties are req'd to post big green (Pass), yellow (Conditional) or red (Closed) placards in their windows after inspections. No one will eat there if it's not green. See this link for pics: http://www.emd.saccounty.net/EH/EMDFoodProtect_GYR_Placards.htm

OH WOW i never thought of that damn i'm gonna start doing that now

I find this thread interesting. I have worked in restaurants throughout my life even when employed elsewhere (its in my blood I guess.) People who know this of me always say something like, "i bet you have some stories to tell." Actually I dont. I dont know why people ASSUME restaurants are always dirty and are never cleaned unless the health inspector "calls?" (BTW...they DO NOT call in my County.) 99% of the restaurant owner know that if people get sick in their restaurant, they might as well close down!

Calm down everyone. The trick isn't going to work if the restaurant gets eighty calls a day from people pretending to be health inspectors.
Remove this stupid comment

We own one. Our inspectors NEVER call and warn you. We would recognize that as a prank call. Here in Deschutes County, Oregon, all you have to do is go to the county website and check the last score the restaurant got. Eat ONLY at the ones with the highest scores.
