This map, courtesy of Google Maps and the Chicago Data Portal, shows all of the schools in the Lincoln Park area and surrounding restaurants that are high risk for failed health inspections due to complaints. Many of these restaurants are on the same streets and near elementary schools, high schools, and DePaul University.
Many of these restaurants on this list includes Thai restaurants, chains like Buffalo Wild Wings, Subway, and Chipotle, but the most surprising revelation of all is that the catering company DePaul University uses, Chartwells Dining Services, is on this list. Their food is served in the Lincoln Park and Loop Student Centers.
This service was placed on the list for multiple reasons, since health inspections are thorough, but the most surprising of them all is that there were flies found near the dish washing area as well as a cooling drawer broken in the deli section.
These health inspections are important because not only do they inform people in the area about issues regarding the restaurant but also give insight to restaurants about what they need to work on in order to maintain a clean kitchen.
