The food: where these dishes come from

Checkers & Rally's is known for hamburger, french fries and milkshake. 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.
