Inspection date

Type

Comments

  • Non food contact surfaces of equipment not clean
  • Manual facilities inadequate, technique incorrect; mechanical facilities not operated in accordance with manufacturer's instructions
03/26/2015InspectionNote: All violations from the 2-20-14 inspection have been corrected. There was no choking poster present so one was provided by the inspector. All cold hold food item temperatures measured with a metal stem probe thermocouple thermometer were acceptable at 45 degrees F or below. The not hold homemade tomato bisque soup measured 166 degrees F. Proper reheating & cooling was discussed and is followed. A more efficient metal food probe thermometer is recommended, so the operator ordered a thermowand before end of inspection, thank you.
