When you stop by a fast food restaurant to order burgers and fries you’re probably only thinking of what you’re hungry for and how quickly the food comes out. Other than that, once you leave the drive-through window, your only other thoughts might be on if they made the order correctly. What you shouldn’t be focused to think about is just how clean the kitchen was or if the restaurant performed well on its last health inspection. After all, there is some level of trust between you and the restaurant. For the majority of greater Phoenix restaurants, that’s not an issue. However, one local fast-food restaurant nearly failed its most recent inspection, as it received a D grade just last week.

Jason Sutton has one concern about the city purchasing the DoubleTree Hotel in Park Hill as part of Denver’s House1000 program: How will it be different from Fusion Studios?. Sutton made his remarks Wednesday during a town hall meeting at the Martin Luther King Jr. recreation center. Sutton owns the Chick-fil-a located next door to Fusion Studios, 3737 Quebec. Fusion is housing for the formerly homeless in a former 1980s-era Quality Inn and Suites. It is owned and operated by Colorado Coalition for the Homeless.
