How can the Cherokee not make that list. Last time I ate there, I was scared something would attack me if I went to the mens room!

I am surprised that the SnoBiz on Suncrest is still open!

Do we know what the violations were at Bonsai Clinton? 😳

Sal and Mookies? Heads will roll....they run a tight ship.

11:45 - it's the cafeteria in the bottom of the trustmark bank building on Capitol/West streets. It's run by Valley Foods.

For years the word has been the Mayflower and Cherokee "pass" for reasons other than food safety. The old New Orleans handshake, etc.

You better believe it about Sal and Mookie's. They run a VERY tight ship. Very clean restaurants front and back. Bye Bye bonus.

They passed the follow-up inspection.

Re: Sal and Mookies.
Only once in my life have I sent food back to the kitchen as inedible and that was at Sal and Mookies.

Maybe its a great place to eat. But the one time I went there it was awful. The replacement food was okay at best.

The Cherokee is the dirtiest place I have ever once eaten.
I will never go back!!

Sometimes they get the score they do for reasons that don't include cleanliness. My son worked for an eatery that was eat-off-the-floor-clean but b/c a couple cooks had cokes with them in the back when the inspectors came they got canked a whole letter grade. Bosses lost it obviously. I eat at several of these places and am really shocked at some of them getting C's so I'd guess that it's possible that there were violations that we'd not necessarily think were cleanliness related.

I would not feed my dog out of the Cherokee. It's FILTHY.

Some places fail for stupid crap. I once saw a health inspector give a restaurant a C because they had toothpicks without the paper wrapper sitting in a shot glass. It was a violation because unwashed hands were touching more than one and it spread germs. How can half of the Chinese restaurants, Cherokee, Que Sera Sera and the other filth holes pass? I think thats more of a list of people who don't kiss up and play the game.

White Glove said...

Is any of this even relevant or noteworthy? On any given day any place in any town can receive a 'C' rating. You alarmists would have us believe the peppers are stuffed with roaches and onion chips in the burgers are actually maggots. And the harpie who repetitively posts about the Cherokee (obvious much?) obviously has a hard on for a successful venue.

heard the Cherokee is for sale.

Five Happiness should have had an "F". Roaches be cooked in their food. Ugh!!!!

Valley is a joke. Multiple accounts. All disgusting.

The Cherokee is the nastiest place ever. It use to not be like that, but last time I was there, which was over a year ago, as I was waiting on my food, I look up and there were huge, long dust balls six to eight inches long haning off the rafter type ceiling over the bar. It was covered in them. Not to mention, thick dust was everywhere you looked. I have asthma and it was so bad, I almost had an asthma flairup. Have not been back nor do I plan to. That's just nasty. I mean, do these people ever clean and DUST???

CS's!! Hello!!! It makes Cherokee look like a fine dining establishment...

The Cherokee needs to be cleaned! Why is that so hard?

Anonymous said...

How about CS's on West Street. Yuk.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
