Amy and I spent a week in Melbourne in July. We ate out a lot. And it was simply dining on faith.
As Jason Dowling reports in Melbournes daily paper, The Age,
http://www.theage.com.au/national/filthy-eateries-to-keep-their-cloak-of-secrecy-20080730-3ngj.html
Dozens of city food businesses, including restaurants and cafes, have been prosecuted for breaching food hygiene laws in the past five years but Melbourne City Council will not reveal who they are.
The council’s inability to name restaurants with poor hygiene records comes as a “name and shame” food hygiene website in New South Wales had attracted 25,000 visitors in its first month.
