Letter Grade Health Ratings come to NYC, how about KC?

When I got to visit my brother-in-law in Los Angeles, he has a simple rule for picking a restaurant for dinner.

“Nothing below a B,” he says.

A “B” is the letter grade that a restaurant has received from the city’s health department based on the number or lack of health code violations. And now when I go to visit my brother in New York City, I wonder if we’re going to have the same rules. New York just adopted the letter grade system, rolling out grades for 24,000 restaurants.
