The food: where these dishes come from

McDonald's is known for hamburger, french fries and chicken nuggets. The stories are about the dishes, not the brand, and live on PlateTales.

This is a McDonald's location. How McDonald's's 865 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.
