What’s the Score, Andy Wise?

ec1d/1248283641-andywise.jpgAndy Wise recently took over the “Restaurant Scorecard” segment for Action News 5. But before Andy, restaurant visits were not always pleasant for the Channel 5 Scorecard crew. They were less than welcome in many area restaurants. Persona non grata. Not on the guest list. Don’t let the swinging kitchen doors hit you on the way out.

Which is why Andy and his crew added a positive element to the segment: a glowing review of worthy restaurants. Guided by viewer input, the “Restaurant Scorecard” highlights at least one successful area restaurant each week. Now, Andy gives us the good with the bad with the pink-slime ugly.

How long have you been a restaurant watchdog?
Not very long. I took over the “Scorecard” segment the first week of January this year, but it’s been a mainstay on Action News 5 for years.
