Inspectors say most local eateries work hard to follow health department rules, but some struggle. Among those that struggle the most is Cafe Kim in West Jordan.

Health inspectors closed it twice for serious violations during the past two years, for a total of 11 days — the longest stretch for any local restaurant. During inspections, it also amassed four times more violation points on average than a typical full-service restaurant, the worst in Salt Lake County.

Inspectors found 160 code violations there, including 25 considered "critical" — or most likely to cause food-borne illness if not fixed quickly. The violations ranged from dirty food-preparation surfaces to touching ready-to-serve food with bare hands, storing toxic materials near food and not keeping hot foods hot enough nor cold foods cold enough.
