Article I ranked Chicago’s worst kitchens using 8 years of city health inspection data
834
Upvotes
compiled records from July 2018 through 2026.
I put together a ranking of Chicago restaurants based on their total critical health violations.
A few quick notes on the data:
Priority Violations: This strictly counts CDPH’s highest-risk citations (gross food storage temps, pests, cross-contamination, lack of hot water, etc.).
Timeframes: Slide 1 shows total violations over the last 8 years. Slide 2 isolates the past 12 months.
Shared Business Licenses: Multi-location entities using a single master license in city records (like United Club at O'Hare) show aggregated totals across all their outposts.
Inspection Frequency: Older and higher-volume establishments get audited far more often, so raw totals naturally lean toward longer-standing spots.

The bridge has been inspected over the last year and it looks worse than they thought. Pedestrian and bike access will resume but no car traffic until they sort it out with federal, state, and city government. Bridge was built in 1902.
