Per Se, a French restaurant in New York City has been called the best restaurant in New York City by many esteemed establishments such as the New York Times. Despite it’s amazing reputation, Per Se has failed its health inspection! A restaurant where it costs about $310 per person, failing its health inspection is just ridiculous. In China, food safety is a major concern, so much so that the top restaurants in China are only in business because they can guarantee that their restaurants are clean and safe. For a top tier restaurant like Per Se to fail its health inspection is just plain embarrassing.
