12/21/2015 | Inspection | All violations from previous inspection on 10/05/15 have been corrected except for part of 15B--see report listing of repeat violation. Food temperatures measured with DOH thermocouple thermometer--pastrami 43 degrees F., three brisket pieces--38, 41 and 43 degrees F., grape tomatoes 41 degrees F., Asiago cheese 44 degrees F., coleslaw 43 degrees F., marinated pork 155 degrees F., mashed potatoes 151 degrees F. As per operator, main floor women's room had backed up late Saturday night and a local company was called (G &S Plumbing) on Sunday (12/20/15), but no one responded. Operator indicates they are expected to come today or tomorrow. The facility does have another women's room available on premises on the top floor. Operator was requested to contact the office at 518-891-1800 when repairs are made to the main floor women's bathroom and to save the receipt. The establishment is using written hot holding logs for foods hot held in the kitchen. Operator is advised to perform this on a regular basis so establishment has a regular record of hot holding temperatures for review.. |
