  • General Comments that relate to this Inspection
    No other violations noted. Temps of refrigeration units at 32-38 F. Internal temps taken on many raw and cooked foods that had been cooled including: rice; soups (French onion and chowder); potatoes baked that are used in chowder; salsa; several kinds of raw fish; cooked chicken wings; cooked garlic; etc. all between 42 F and 32 F. All internal temps in storage refrig units on cook line also between 43 F and 32 F. The only food at 58 F on cold table was ailoi sauce made with mayonaise and raw garlic; but since cooking is not part of prep process; THIS DOES NOT NEED TO BE REFRIGERATED.Discussed cooling process with Ming; main chef; who arrived for last part of inspection. He uses 2" lexan pans for cooling chowder along with stirring. Chowder is placed on top shelf of walkin and Ming claims that it chills to 36 F within 4 hrs. French onion soup is cooled in metal cooking pot in an ice water bath in prep sink.Discussed hadnd washing policy and sick leave policy with Ming and Chepe. Also recommended that staff use gloves in addition to hand washing for prepping ready-to-eat foods such as salads.Noted possible risk from storing raw meats side-by-side next in desserts in storage refrig. Caution staff to take care not to drip when stocking or removing meats because of cross-contamination possibility. Ideally storage of these items would be in sepearate units but dure to limited storage this is not possible at this time.Make sure that hand sink is accessible to staff. Marginal at time of inspection; however; staff were using hand wash sink observably.

  • [5] Potentially hazardous food meets temperature requirements during storage; preparation; display; service; transportation
    Several items in line drawers found at 50F. Product pulled and cooled. After discussion with chef; it was unclear how items had gotten that hot - other items in line drawers were ok. Line drawers may need servicing or prep process may not be adequate. All cold held items must be stored @ 40F or below. *Violation abated at time of inspection; see notes on further discussion.*
  • [1] Non-food contact surfaces of equipment and utensils clean
    Several non food contact surfaces need cleaning and sanitizing to prevent potential cross contamination. Specific items observed include kitchen phone and handle of alto shaam. These surfaces should be cleaned and sanitized regularly to keep hands from becoming contaminated while working.

  • General Comments that relate to this Inspection
    Hand sink stockedSanitizer bucket @ 200ppm quatTest strips on siteWalk in @ 38FRaw product stored correctlyDishwasher @ 100ppm chlorine**Numerous processes discussed with operator; as they need to be tightened up on.**Cooling process was observed for french onion soup. Soup was stored in 5 gallon plastic buckets for cooling. During inspection; temperature just barely dropped below 140F. Recommended using metal pans with shallow amounts and placing in ice baths to speed cooling. Operator should test process to ensure that product is cooled from 140F - 40F within 4 hours. Cooling has been an issue in the past at this facility and discussed with operator previously.**Two items were found at room temperature that should be either held hot (140F+) or cold (40F or below) to prevent potential bacteria growth. The items were a hollandaise (mixed; no raw shell eggs used) and a butter mixture. Discussed with operator that if these products are not going to be held at temperature; then they need to monitored with a system to ensure that they are discarded within 4 hours. Currently; timing is vague.**Discussed need for cooks to take temperatures periodically to ensure that line units are holding temperature. Other ways to help keep items cool is to reduce amount stored in line drawers during service and pulling all items from line drawers for storage in walk in at the end of the night.**Sanitizer cloths should be used regularly on surfaces such as prep tables and handles of equipment.**Currently; facility has been using hand sink in kitchen for all kitchen staff and servers. However; employees must go through a swinging door to access. There is a sink that is not used for prep on the salad line that could be used as a hand sink. This is recommended to encourage hand washing and provide a hand sink for employees where they do not have to use a door to access.

    **No violations observed during the inspectionHand sink stockedDishwasher @ 100ppm chlorineRefrigeration units cleaned once weeklyDairy reefer @ 40FTest strips on siteScoop ok**Recommend using sanitizer bucket cloth to wipe down bottles when cleaning to sanitize surface.**Reviewed proper scoops storage with operator. Key is to eliminate cross contamination from hands and other surfaces to ice. Store scoop in ice with handle out or in separate clean and sanitary container. Storing scoop against bottles does not meet this criteria.**Reviewed need to test dishwasher at least once a shift to ensure proper level of sanitizer - 50-100ppm chlorine.
