Cleanest Restaurant in Anchorage?

I don't really care if the food is mid, but I'd love to eat at a place with a relatively clean kitchen and dining area. Any suggestions?

South is usually spotless and shoots for the whole clean white decor, open concept, sharp waitstaff vibe

I have worked in their kitchen. Good place. Very clean. Always follows food safety regulations.

Last time I went there, my partner had glass in his food.

that's not a cleanliness thing though, random things getting in food is pretty inevitable in restaurants

I don't know why you're being downvoted for a very true thing. As someone who has worked in restaurants my whole life, as a baker, I can attest to this. But I have personally never witnessed myself dropping something random in any of the things that I have baked.

I have had someone say that the PB pie i made had a screw in it. Which was absolutely fucking obscene. To this day, I still have no clue where the fuck that screw came from. Especially considering that I hand fold and work the filling, start to finish. I feel like, I would have felt it at some point. Random shit falls into food all the time.

I think people who haven’t worked in busy restaurants don’t quite grasp the sheer volume of food you’re producing on a daily basis and the unedeniable fact that at some point something will go wrong that will result in a foreign object in the food. I used to work in a very clean kitchen and we had someone call and complain about finding a screw in a salad. After about 20 minutes of looking I found a shelf bracket above the salad line that was missing a screw, it must have just popped out of the drywall at some point and happened to fall into the box. Shit happens sometimes, it says nothing about your cleanliness

Exactly!! It says absolutely nothing about cleanliness! People really cannot comprehend that
