This week on DineSafe: Alimento, E Mart, Farm Fresh Supermarket, Hong Tai Supermarket, Pho House, Thai Express, Thai One On, The Y Cafe

This week on DineSafe, it was back to regular unsanitary-restaurant-busting, with a couple of offending grocery stores thrown into the mix, too. Farm Fresh Supermarket again proved that its name might be more aspirational than descriptive, landing on the DineSafe low list with a total of 14 infractions. A couple of downtown spots were branded with conditional passes, too, including Thai One On on Queen West and Alimento down on King. Here's a glimpse at some of the DineSafe reports this week.
