10: TACO BELL
The 100 Taco Bells we sampled had the fewest total critical violations,
91,making it the best performer in our survey. But it was not without
problems. Recurring violations included dirty food preparation counters
and rodent droppings.

9. MCDONALD'S
The golden arches, the 100 McDonald's we looked at came in with a total of
136 critical violations. Some didn't have a trained and certified food
handler on the job, required by law in many states.

8. KFC
The 100 KFCs we sampled tallied up 157 critical violations, and two thirds
of the "finger lickin' good" restaurants had at least one critical
violation. Remember, it was at a KFC, the Health Department says, little
Gianni Velotta picked up salmonella poisoning last year. We've now learned
that another child was also sickened there, and the same restaurant has
since been cited for three more critical violations. While the Velotta's
have settled a lawsuit against the restaurant, a lawyer for the owner of
the franchise contends the salmonella cases did not originate there.

7. SUBWAY
The 100 Subways we looked at totaled 160 critical violations. A recurring
problem at the sandwich chain was improper food holding temperatures.
"That means that bacteria in the food that's already cooked can start to
grow, and it can reach levels that can cause serious illness for someone
who consumes it."

6. JACK IN THE BOX
The 100 Jack in the Box restaurants had a total of 164 critical
violations. A Ventura, Calif., Jack in the Box was a trouble spot. It had
several customer complaints of food borne illness.

5. DAIRY QUEEN
The 100 Dairy Queens we examined totaled 184 total critical violations.
One Dairy Queen in Hampton, Va., rang up a number of critical violations
last summer for grime, debris, and a inaccurate thermometer. When Dateline
went back recently to take a look, the restaurant invited us in, and
showed it had fixed the problem.

4. HARDEES
The 100 Hardee's tallied 206 critical violations. Again and again
inspectors cited the presence of insects and rodents. "Rodents and
Roaches are gross. But more importantly, they can also spread germs from
food to food, and carry germs into a restaurant." Last May, one restaurant
was cited for not having soap in the employee's sink. Yet, inspectors
found employees handling ready-to-eat food with their bare hands.

3. WENDY'S
100 Wendy's had 206 critical violations. That's the same as Hardees, but
more Wendy's restaurants had violations. So Wendy's is number three in our
Dateline dirty dining survey. At a Wendy's in Mesa, Ariz., inspectors
noted repeated problems with food holding temperatures, mice droppings on
the shelves, bare hand food contact, and one food borne illness complaint.

2. ARBY'S
The 100 Arby's had 210 critical violations. The roast beef specialists had
recurring violations for improper hand-washing and employees handling
ready-to-eat foods with their bare hands. And clearly, if the person
isn't washing their hands or using other sanitation practices, they can
really make people very sick.

1. BURGER KING
So which fast food chain finished number one on Dateline's dirty dining
list? It's Burger King. The 100 Burger Kings we sampled rang up a shopping
241 total critical violations. Health inspectors cited a Virginia Burger
King for 14 separate critical violations: employees not washing their
hands, uncovered food in the fridge, grime and debris found on this ice
chute, and on the drink machine at the drive-thru widow. We observed one
employee scooping ice into a cup with his bare hands, an apparent critical
violation.

I didn't see The Wrap, Toscaninis, or the Ritz Carlton on there, so I guess I'm OK for now
