CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Congratulations to the cafeteria crew at Miller High School.
Manager Mary Lou Saldana has worked there 23 years and been in charge for 20 years. And congrats to her crew; Alice, Armando, and Elsa. We also met Assistant Principals Tillmon and Beverage. Thanks for keeping it clean y'all!
Also earning Perfect Scores:
Cafe Calypso on SPID, Denny's on I-37 and Solomon Coles High School on Winnebago.
Congratulations to Janie Yanez, who is manager and crew, all in one at Coles High School. The school has earned perfect scores as far back as 2012. Wow!
Also earning Perfect Scores this week:
Driscoll Elementary School in Driscoll, El Rinconcito on Prescott, KFC on Saratoga, Petronilla Elementary, and the new pizza place in the food court at 711 Carancahua. They've only been in business five months, and already earned their first perfect score!
The owner, Giovanni Compian, who was retired, said once he found out the hours were Monday-Friday, he was all in.
"My wife works in the building, and this kiosk became available. And she said it was Monday-Friday, so I jumped on it. And so far the people have been very receptive to our product," he said.
There are 25 places on the A list with scores ranging from 99-90, an just one on the B list; the Chicken Express on the 4600 block of Staples Inspectors found eight violations, including no certified food manager on duty, and a phone should not be used while cooking.
