The food: where these dishes come from

Pei Wei is known for kung pao chicken and lo mein. The stories are about the dishes, not the brand, and live on PlateTales.

This is a Pei Wei location. How Pei Wei's 34 Florida stores compare with their counties.

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.
