"Slime in the Ice Machine" Online
The City of Houston webpage now provides this online search tool for reviewing current health department reports on Houston restaurants and other eating establishments. It's sort of like an online version of Marvin Zindler's "Slime in the Ice Machine" local television segments.
As an aside, after watching one of Marvin's slime machine reports while on his first evening visiting Houston several years ago, a London solicitor asked me the following question in that quintessentially understated manner shared by many British lawyers:
"To what parallel universe have I been transferred?"
Some of the online reports are quite interesting. For example, as a result of this one, my wife and daughters are going to be avoiding an inexplicably popular restaurant in the Galleria.

If Grand Lux Cafe isn't on the slime list, their menu is practically identical to Cheesecake Factory. Haven't eaten at GLC, but it's on my list ... if only to compare.
