The [Thursday] PapersFor completists, there was no column on Wednesday. Sorry, distractions this week. "Chicago will hire 20 more food inspectors and three more supervisors to bolster a restaurant inspection team so 'seriously understaffed,' it has undermined public trust and jeopardized state funding, Inspector General Joe Ferguson said Wednesday. "After auditing 2015 inspections, Ferguson concluded last fall that the city's Department of Public Health Department was falling so far short of state mandates, it would need to hire 56 additional food inspectors to catch up." So, um, won't that still leave Chicago 36 inspectors short? Will there be 36 restaurants we shouldn't go to? * "On Wednesday, Ferguson released a 'follow-up inquiry' that should reassure skittish foodies in a city just voted the nation's best restaurant city by Bon Appetit." Um, I'm kind of left more skittish. * Also, why is the inspector general announcing this instead of City Hall? * "Less than 44 percent of Chicago restaurants and 24.8 percent of bars are being inspected as often as state law requires - undermining public trust and jeopardizing state funding - because the city's Department of Public Health is 'seriously understaffed,' Inspector General Joe Ferguson has concluded." So more than half of the city's restaurants have been going uninspected? Assignment Desk: use data to determine which restaurants those are! - Field Notes Food sold at Wrigley Field rated eighth safest among 28 baseball stadiums reviewed in a Sports Illustrated study. I'm sure there's a rebuilding joke in there somewhere, but I'm also sure it's not really a very funny one. * Also, I would've led with the Guaranteed Rat - I mean Rate - findings. * Here's the Sun-Times' version of the story. - Good Luck, Dayton "The city of Dayton will be improving the sidewalk along Main Street between Fourth and Fifth streets, as well as a perpendicular stretch of Fourth Street, bordering Dave Hall Plaza. "The plan is to remake Main Street to be more like Chicago's famous section of North Michigan Avenue, called the 'Magnificent Mile.'"
