Happy November gang! It's another Friday and time to see what the inspectors found in the various eateries around the county. All is well in PNWestland other than it seems to be taking me longer to adjust to the colder weather this year than before. Guess I'm just getting older. Here's the report.

The BEST - These are the places that scored perfect 100s. These places are really doing a good job at keeping their kitchens clean. The places that score a perfect 100 are really going all out to do things right and they deserve your support.

Badlands Bistro (f), La Pine (10/18)

Beyond the Vine, Redmond (10/18)

Pho Viet and Cafe (f), Bend (10/17)

Poke Row, Bend (10/17)

Spud Muffins Express, Bend (10/17)

Good Egg, Bend (10/17)

Richard's Donuts and Pastries, Bend (10/16)

Ashley's Cafe (S Hwy 97), Bend (10/15)

Ashley's Cafe (South), Bend (10/15)

Lone Pine Coffee Roasters, Bend (10/14)

Midtown Events, Bend (10/14)

The WORST SCORERS: Now comes everyone's favorite part of the report - the list of Rotten Restaurants who scored worse than 85. I don't post any place that scores 85 or above even if they were the worst inspections for a particular week. 85 is a solid B and I don't want to shame them.

Super 8 - Redmond (f), Redmond Score: 82 (10/18)

I'm going to stick these identifiers here so that when you see stuff like (mob) and (wh) you'll have some idea of what they are talking about. I'm not positive about all of these but they're probably pretty close. If you see anything I've missed or I guessed wrong please let me know.

e - fee exempt

mob - mobile

wh - warehouse

rp - recreational park

f - fixed position (a normal restaurant)

com - commissary

tf - traveler's accommodation

L - Limited Service

V - vending machines?

If you have time on your hands and want to check out the county inspection site here's the link - https://inspections.myhealthdepartment.com/or-deschutes-county

It's a very nice community resource. Kudos to the county for making it this .easy to check up on things.

Well that's all for now. Have a great week, stay warm and dry and be nice to each other. I'll see you next week but I'll leave you with a very nice Hendrix cover I found this week. Isn't YouTube great for finding out all sorts of mind numbing useless stuff?

Here's you bonus tune:
