Kitchen Cops 11/29/07

A local restaurant gets a second chance with health inspectors in this week's Kitchen Cops Report. Back in September, Betty's Waterfront Restaurant in Supply scored an 80. It took a couple months, but last week an inspector returned. No more mouse droppings or roaches, but there's still some cleaning to do. There was also old milk in the cooler and bait fish in the freezer. Still a big improvement to 94. Five local restaurants have fresh high scores from health inspectors. Chelsea's at one South Front Street in Downtown Wilmington continues its clean streak with a perfect score of 100. Add in two points for workers passing a food safety course. The same top score of 102 for the Subway on Ocean Highway in Calabash. Henry's on Independence Blvd. in Wilmington lost a half point because floors need cleaning especially in the front wait area. But a two-point bonus boosts the score to 101.5. The floor under the ice machine needs re-sealing at Crow Creek Snack Bar on Hickman Road in Calabash. But still a perfect 100. And an inspector says A Southern Thyme on Fountain Drive in Wilmington "Looks Great!!" A perfect 100 there as well.
