17 Restaurants In Chautauqua County With Health Violations

Some restaurants in Chautauqua County didn't quite pass their health code inspections in March. If you live in Chautauqua County and you plan on dining out, you definitely need to check out this list. These 24 restaurants had multiple and/or critical health inspection violations last month.

According to StateFoodSafety.com, food inspectors look for things like food temperatures, refrigerator, and freezer unit temperatures, running water, proper utensils used in food preparation, proper food storage, and employee hygiene.

My friend teases me because I am always finding hair in my food. Things like that will make you rethink eating out, that's for sure.
