A. Today's health inspections report in the Better Living section, where you learn that Sally Ling's in Fort Lee was fined $4,680 for, among other things, "failure to wear clean outer clothing (cook was preparing foods without a shirt on and sweating into the soup)."
And to think I usually complain of soups needing more seasoning.

I'm surprised the REHS didn't slap an unsatisfactory with a mandatory close down, especially since there was no citation of lack of Food Handler's certification. Please don't tell me this is a language barrier or culture thing - gross is gross.

I'm sure that's more common than we think in these cramped spaces.

Bill:
This place is a repeat offender year after year. That's why I disapprove of The Record's new clean vs. dirty categories for health inspections. This place will be back on the clean list, and like many others it doesn't deserve to be. It's operators will go right back to their dirty ways once they get their "Satisfactory" placard from the health department.
Why not do what Orange County New York's Times-Herald Record has done. Put it all online and let the readers see how major or minor the violations are year after year.
