The South Florida Sun-Sentinel offers these tips for safe dining out:
Pick restaurants where the bathrooms have soap, toilet paper and paper towels.
Insects, such as roaches, and rodents should not be inside a restaurant.
Food should be thoroughly cooked, especially chicken and ground beef.
If you become ill after eating in a restaurant, seek medical attention and call your county health department. Save suspect restaurant food by freezing it in a clean container with a lid.
And the more information about restaurant inspections, the better.
