The Victoria City-County Health Department and its sister organization, the Crossroads Public Health District, inspect places where food is served in Victoria, DeWitt, Jackson and Calhoun counties.
In the inspection reports, each violation in the Food Temperature/Time Requirements category is 5 demerits; in the Personnel/Handling/Source Requirements category, 4 demerits; and in the Facility and Equipment Requirements, 3 demerits. Zero is a perfect score while 100 demerits is the worst possible score.
Each Wednesday, the Advocate publishes inspection results from the previous week. All demerits are reported, but only those in the categories of Food Temperature/Time Requirements and Personnel/Handling/Source Requirements are detailed.

Comments
I frequently ask an attendent to use gloves when he/she serves me. It is not rare at all for the person who takes your order, handles your money, and uses the cash register, to also turn and help prepare or pack the food.
September 6, 2009 at 11:22 a.m.It's amazing the amount of restaurant employees that dont use hygienic practice. That should come natural. No wonder so many people are sick all the time in Victoria.Makes you wonder what their home life is like. I certainly wouldn't want to eat at their table. So many lazy, unconcerned people. The managers of these facilities should train these incompetant indiviuals. Better yet bless all your foods before you consume them.
September 1, 2009 at 6:14 p.m.I went to BWW once...I walked in the bathroom as a waitress was coming out of a stall & just walked out without washing her hands.....ick....glad she wasn't my waitress.
