It represents a sad day not only for food lovers in Yuma but for the entire community.

On Sunday, My Lady and I attended The Great Plains Renaissance & Scottish Festival (see what I did there, with "My Lady," Renaissance....), at Sedgwick County Park.

Jennifer and I enjoyed walking around checking out all the vendors, and the people in costume, there was swordplay, Highland games, chainmail bras, and kilts. After enjoying the sights including a Scallywag Pirate Comedy Show, the heat of the day started to make its presence felt. Passing on the temptation of smoked turkey legs and mead, we departed the festival and headed for more comfortable surroundings.

Every year, Yelp, the food review website that allows customers to review their dining experience, puts out specialized lists to outline the best restaurants around the country. Sometimes these lists have a wide breadth, covering all forms of eateries, all lumped into one list. These can be difficult lists at best, as comparing food trucks to fine dining isn’t exactly apples to apples. However, the website’s most recent list makes much more sense. Yelp set out to highlight the best tacos in the country and two of these locations are located here in Tucson.

Another week has come and gone, which means another week of restaurants in metro Phoenix visited by the county health inspector. With the vast number of restaurants spread throughout the Valley, it is a job that never lets up, no matter the time of year or the location. Despite the overwhelming number of restaurants in the area, the majority of these restaurants do receive A grades, meaning the establishments did not have a single violation. Even violations corrected at the time of inspection are still noted and will impact a restaurant’s overall grade. So, by and large, greater Phoenix has a majority of restaurants that are perfectly safe to eat at. However, there are a handful receiving violations over the course of each week. This includes one local establishment that received a D grade during its latest inspection.

When dealing with any kind of restaurant, health safety is extremely important. While health inspectors might be the bane of existence for restaurant owners, these individuals are the thin line between foodborne illnesses and the general public. It is also why every restaurant around greater Tucson is visited by a health inspector annually, to ensure the restaurant is keeping up with what is required of it. One local restaurant here in Tucson didn’t perform all that well, as 10 total violations were identified, and a repeat inspection is forthcoming.
