Latest local news, weather, high school sports in the Rio Grande Valley

A Korean restaurant, fast food eatery, supermarket and convenience store all get a visit from the Food Patrol this week.

Half get a top performer sticker for zero demerit health inspection scores.

The other half is highlighted for dirty kitchens.

Wright Stop convenience store on 635 International Boulevard in Brownsville is one of them.

It scored 21 demerits on a health report for improper hand-washing, no hot water for proper sanitation, missing soap and paper towels along with a dirty ice holder, according to a report.

But the dirtiest this week goes to Super Mercados Morelos on 207 Palm Vista Drive in Palmview.

It scored 22 demerits on a health report.

Kitchen cops document how they busted the place with no hairnets, a blocked hand-wash sink that had no towels for proper sanitation and onions on the floor.
