'Clean Crab' idea draws dirty looks

The theory behind this idea is great - however, I tend to agree that they could come up with a better symbol of cleanliness than a crab. My suggestion would simply be to give ALL restaurants a cleanliness score - on a scale of 100. This is done in restaurants in North Carolina, and I believe it would go a long way to educate patrons on how well (or badly) these restaurants are run. I would like to see that score be mandatory for all establishments.
Not in the least confused

"they could get a special star with maybe the dome of City Hall inside, maybe a dome and a knife and fork"

City Hall?!? Would any 'clean' restaurant want to be associated with the dirt that goes down in that place?

Having been a former restaurant owner, this is a great idea. Not so sure about the crab award, but this rating system will force most restaurants to clean up their act if done correctly.

In California, all restaurants have a letter grade posted on the front window of the restaurant. When you enter the restaurant, you can immediately tell bv a large "A" on the front window the health department has scored this establishment as being up to code.

My practice was to avoid eating in restaurants with a grade below a "B."

This is a joke, right? Is the originator of this farce an out of town consultant?

Not as ridiculous as not being able to spell a 3-word comment correctly.

I like the idea of a rating system, but a crab doesn't say clean to me.

What a dumb idea! Their time would be better spent by inspecting all restaurants a couple times a year and grading them A-D and posting a certificate showing the grade in a conspicuous spot in the restaurant.

So, how are we, john q public supposed to tell if we are looking at an informed crab, or a clean crab?

California Rolls tend to use imitation crab, which is fully cooked white fish. And when actual crab is in sushi it is always cooked.

Hope they didn't pay for this concept. OK, a sign of cleaniness might be a good idea; ut the crab thing was not thought out. Crabs are carrion eaters; is this really a designation for cleaniness? Not hardly.
