I don't even know why this is a thing, what state you are in isn't going to determine shite. Look at the employees and where the establishment is at. That'll tell you what you need to know.

He could've worded it better, but he's pretty much correct. The "list" is only a search of online reviews mentioning certain words and complaints, by state. Naturally the bigger the state/population, the more restaurants and more reviews they're going to receive.

If the list was per capita or averaged out per number of restaurants in the state as a whole, then it would be more accurate to say "this state has the dirtiest restaurants". Instead it's just a list of the most reviews mentioning X, Y, Z by state

So, it's a misprint Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, North Carolina and Michigan aren't listed in this algorithmic Top 10...

There is a 6/10 overlap among states on this list and most visited states for tourism. When I made the original comment I actually thought Louisiana was one of them, but it's not.

They all pay out damages. But if you must know where this comes from.

The list comes from Chicago-based restaurant furniture company Affordable Seating, which analyzed more than 2.8 million TripAdvisor reviews across roughly 40,000 restaurants in 2024, according to reports.




Notice they didn’t just say anonymous sources close to the situation like your favorite news outlets.

I'm calling BS if New York didn't make the list.

We've all read the (annual) story about the rat population gets flushed out of the sewers and subways during flooding rains. To think they're not everywhere else is beyond naive.

Correct observation

In my youth was the best Italian pizza joint. Before cell phones you were entertained (and gambled on) the cockroaches on the ceiling while you ate. Another lobster place we raced the lobsters in the back alley and the loser went in the pot. Beats today and kids pissing in the pickle tub at your local McDonalds.

If a restaurant is “dirty” and is still in business after 5+ years you know they have some incredible food.

There was a bar & grill in the town I worked. Had a sign out front that said “Ten thousand flies can’t be wrong.”

My family's restaurant had a sign that said "This ain't Burger King. You get it my way or you don't eat."
