MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - It was a good week for restaurants in Memphis and Shelby County - no restaurants failed their health inspections, and a previously failing restaurant cleaned up.
All About Dem Wings improved to an 85 this week. At the beginning of the month, the restaurant scored a 66 with 11 non-critical violations and 4 critical violations.
When Andy Wise talked to the owner, he said he was trying to do better, and looks like he stayed true to his word.

And, the Blues Night Club on Airways Boulevard was very close to perfection, scoring a 99.
