Do dogs belong in restaurants?
Guest: Nicolas Perez, LAist producer who is against dogs going into restaurants and has been admonished by his peers for this opinion.
Look: I like dogs. I just don't like when they're inside restaurants or other places where food is served. Lately, I've seen a lot of people casually bringing their pups into restaurants, and it's been grossing me out.
But: That's not just my opinion. L.A. County's public health policy forbids dogs inside restaurants, although the rules don't seem to be stopping anyone.
So: I shared my thoughts on a recent episode of AirTalk, which airs on your radio dial at LAist 89.3. We also heard from listeners about what they thought about bringing dogs in restaurants.
Listen: To the AirTalk episode above to hear what people had to say. Email me at nperez@laist.com if you get caught up and want to fight it out over who is right.
