Dirty Dining III
Dateline examined health inspection reports for 1,000 restaurants from the top ten family chains. They found that every chain but one averaged one critical violation, or a violation that can make a customer sick, per inspection. The best chain was Denny's with 296 critical violations in 100 sampled restaurants, and the worst was Waffle House with 594 critical violations in the 100 sampled restaurants.
