To the residents of Avoyelles Parish, I humbly ask for your vote to elect me Judge of the 12th JDC, Division A, on Nov. 3, 2026. I was born and raised in Hessmer.

See which Rapides Parish eateries failed health inspections

The Town Talk obtained food safety inspection information for Sept. 13-26 from the Louisiana Department of Health. The top addresses with the most critical violations are listed, along with an explanation of the findings. All restaurants on the list had at least two critical violations. According to the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, uncorrected critical violations are more likely to contribute to food contamination or illness. Less serious violations are not directly related to foodborne illness but could become hazardous if uncorrected. The Louisiana Department of Health's retail food health inspections dashboard includes a history of each establishment's inspection reports. Inspections should be considered a "snapshot" and might not always reflect an establishment's day-to-day operations and overall condition. Violations fall into two main categories: critical and non-critical. Critical violations are more likely to contribute directly to food contamination or illness if left uncorrected. Non-critical violations are not directly related to the cause of foodborne illness but could become critical if left uncorrected. The DHH dashboard is updated daily; however, there is a seven-day delay between when inspections are made and posted online. Check eatsafe.la.gov for the most recent inspection information available and information on how to file a complaint.
