That was the reception the Honorable Judge Irene C. Berger received honoring her career and recent appointment. NATS "For a woman who doesn't like a lot of fuss made over her, you all are making a lot of fuss." All jokes aside... Judge Berger says she is appreciated of all the support. "Very honored, and humbled that they would take time from their very busy schedules to be here." The U.S. Senate unanimously approved her appointed as U.S. District judge for the Southern District of West Virginia last month, making her the first African-American federal judge in the state. "I'm very excited about a new challege and trying to continue to do a fair job and to make sure people are heard in a respectful manner." One chapter closed... another just beginning. SEVEN LAWYERS ARE NOW VYING FOR THE SPOT LEFT EMPTY BY JUDGE BERGER'S APPOINTMENT. THEY'VE BEEN APPOINTED BY THE STATE'S JUDICIAL COMMITTEE. GOVERNOR MANCHIN IS EXPECTED TO FILL THAT POSITION SOON.

HERE'S PATRICK MCMURTRY WITH THIS WEEK'S BEHIND THE KITCHEN DOOR. We are coming to you this week from the Bridge Road Bistro in South Hills, I'll tell you why in a bit, but we start out at Johnny's Pizza on Route 60 in Barboursville. Inspectors found 9 violations including 5 critical. There was lettuce stored beside raw chicken in the cooler, they had to throw out ham stored at improper temperatures, the hoods were dirty with grease dripping from it, and the vent fan, ceiling, walls, inside of 2 coolers and the make table counter were all dirty. Inspectors said Johnny's corrected all the violations. Up next, the Dragon Bowl at 2700 Dupont Ave. in Belle. Inspectors found 6 violations, including 2 critical. The meat grinder was dirty and the cooking sherry was improperly stored. There wasn't a thermometer in the refrigerator and no lid on the trash can in the women's rest room. Next, O'Charley's at Trace Fork in South Charleston. Inspectors found 5 violations, including 2 critical. There was chicken and rice being stored at improper temperatures-they corrected those problems. They didn't have a thermometer in their refrigerator, either, and there was uncovered containers of food in the cooler. Here's a list of the spots with good reports: the New Dragon Garden in St. Albans and China Super Buffet in Elkview were good, but the La Caretta right next door, and Aladdin's in Kanawha City were perfect. We're here at Bridge Road Bistro because this place is rolling out its new fall menu. Don't forget, you can get your first look at Behind the Kitchen Door Thursday on Eyewitness News This Morning. I'm Patrick McMurtry, I'll see you the.
