Life Kitchen Florida

I grew up in Florida, moved to California for 15 years, then came home. There’s a TON I don’t miss about California, especially the ridiculous cost. But, I do miss having healthy grades in the windows of all restaurants! This app replaces that very conveniently for me. Yay! I just open the app with location services turned on and it shows me nearby restaurants with their grades. I don’t even have to drive door to door to learn the healthiest picks. Thank you LifeKitchen!

I don’t think this app is still being maintained, but whatever API they used to obtain the data is still showing freshly updated reporting results. It’s easy to use and so incredibly useful, especially since Florida’s restaurants are not required to display their health inspection scores. I was relieved to find that most of the places I frequent had A scores (and heartbroken that a couple were C’s and D’s, which I won’t visit again until they improve—but VERY glad to know the truth!) I wish I could buy the developer(s) a coffee for putting this together and providing it for free.

This app makes important health info easy to access. What a relief to see that my go-tos have their act together -- and I can check new places before trying them. My only gripe is that checking a restaurant then going back to the list dumps one at the *top* of the list rather than picking up where you left off. You don't realize how many food service establishments there are til you scroll (and scroll and scroll) this list! Map view is not working for me unfortunately. I probably should dock it a star for that but I'm grateful to have this info at my fingertips.
