We've hit the last month of 2025 already. I hope that your week went well and you are settled down and putting the finishing touches on your work week. Or if you are a geezer like me that you have chased all of those rotten kids off of your lawns. Let's get down to bizzeness.

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.

Rockin' Roasters (mob), Redmond (11/22)

Suzy Q's Sweet Things (mob), Redmond (11/22)

Jonny's Joint (mob), Redmond (11/22)

Bowen's Pizza (com), Bend (11/21)

Los Langostinos (f) (comm for El Imperio), Redmond (11/19)

McDonald's (Sisters), Sisters (11/19)

El Imperio Mexican Food (com), Redmond (11/19)

Ponch's Place (L), Bend (11/18)

Chubby Duck (The) (mob), La Pine (11/16)

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.

Axel's Taco Shop (Redmond) Redmond Score: 72 (11/21)

Greg's Grill On The Deschutes, Bend Score: 84 (11/19)

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?
