The food: where these dishes come from

Chicken Kitchen is known for citrus-marinated grilled chicken (mojo). The stories are about the dishes, not the brand, and live on PlateTales.

A routine inspection is one visit on one day. Inspectors in different counties record violations differently, so compare a count with its county average, not with a restaurant in another county.
