TIPPECANOE COUNTY, Ind. (WLFI) - There are more than 600 food establishments in Tippecanoe County. But not all are equally clean.

Click here for Part One of 'Dirty Restaurants', which NewsChannel 18 exposed the restaurants with the most violations in the area.

David Drinan, Chief of Food for the Tippecanoe County Health Department, said perfection is a tough standard. He added the biggest factor separating clean ones from dirty ones is often management.

"If he (or she) has a pro-health, pro-food safety attitude, it's going to be reflected in his help," Drinan said.

Tune in Wednesday at 6:00 and 11:00 p.m. for part 2 of 'Dirty Restaurants' where Drinan explains some of the tools available for food inspectors to get dirty establishments to clean up their acts.
