Posting restaurant inspection results on regulatory websites and on media sites are a good exercise in public engagement, can increase discussion and sometimes lead to eating decisions. I like to read through the restaurant inspection report summaries we pick up through Google Alerts to see what’s going on. Sometimes the reports are all yuck and no risk factor – as they are often handpicked by media outlets. Often there are some decent examples of that can be used to show folks what not to do.

Like changing the date on a good inspection and replacing your current report with the old one.

According to the Dacula Patch, that’s exactly what Peking Chinese Restaurant was caught doing last week (amongst other stuff including some repeat violations).
