Au Bon Pain, Yanni's Dog Fail Health Inspection
How did your favorite local restaurants and bakeries fare on City of Chicago restaurant inspections?
Patch examined inspection reports in Lincoln Square over the month of October. Information has been compiled using publicly available data published to the website of the Chicago Department of Public Health's Food Protection Program.
Restaurants can pass, pass with conditions or fail using a standardized procedure. Establishments that pass don't have any critical or serious vocations. Those that receive 'pass with conditions' had serious violations, but the violations were corrected during the inspection. Failed establishments had serious violations that weren't correctable during the inspection. A fail rating does not mean the business's license is automatically suspended.
All inspections are done on a routine canvass, unless otherwise noted.
