This week, popular fast-food spots get knocked and two Top 100 restaurants are in hot water with Houston health inspectors.

We all love Sonic ice - especially when it's blended into a cherry limeade slush.

Sadly though, inspectors found ice not safe for human consumption at the Sonic located at 3626 Old Spanish Trail. Slime residue was found on an interior panel of the ice machine.

At the Sonic located at 85 E Crosstimbers, cups were found stored in the restroom vestibule.

Houston Chronicle's Alison Cook's Top 100 includes Mala Sichuan and Weights & Measures - those establishments also happen to be on our list too.

Mala Sichuan (1201 Westheimer Suite. B) was cited for a critical infraction involving chicken. It's worth noting, inspectors handed out demerits to this restaurant back in February and March of this year.

Also, Cane Rosso, recently voted by the readers of Chron.com as Houston's best pizza place didn't perform so well with the health department. Thirty five pounds of food were condemned.

And Whataburger (444 W. Little York), a favorite among most Texans, had 30 pounds of food deemed not safe for human consumption.

See what inspectors found wrong with Whataburger's food in the slideshow above along with the rest of this week's list of restaurants with violations (Oct. 2 - 10).

During health inspections, inspectors distribute violations that carry a weight between 1 and 25, increasing in severity. The term "demerit" is used by city health inspectors to describe the weighted value assigned to each violation. The Houston Chronicle obtained the results of routine health inspections throughout the city and tallied each restaurant's demerits for a comprehensive list of violations.
