11/06/2014InspectionThe hot & cold hold food temperatures measured with a metal stem probe thermocouple thermometer were 140 degrees F or above and 45 degrees F or below respectively: Chili, beef gravy, sliced tomatoes, tuna salad, shredded cheeses, salad dressing. Good. The size of this kitchen, ware washing area, cold hold storage and dry goods storage is at the maximum ability to handle the size of what the menu has become. There is a double door upright freezer outside the kitchen door in the customer area. The size and capacity of the kitchen facility might have to be evaluated as whether it is sufficient enough to properly handle the size of the operation. Please correct the violations cited by Friday 11/28/2014, and email myself, Margo Kampf at the email address on this inspection report when completed. Please contact Rich Hess at this office 793-3893 or Richard.hess@health.ny.gov to arrange an evaluation of the size of your kitchen to handle the size of your operation. Thank you.
