On-site investigation conducted in response to RFS-14-0513, which stated, "Complainant was there Thursday night and did not see employees washing hands, including employee who took out trash/smoked and returned without washing his hands.  Complainant saw raw meat (chicken and beef) sitting on the counter for two hours without being refrigerated or cooked.  Complainant stated that establishment does not have a dish machine and is not using the three compartment sink."

Sanitarian walked through establishment with bartender, Michelle, who was working Thursday night.  Michelle stated that the employees of the establishment are all female and a male friend takes out the trash for female bartenders after dark, but does not do any food or drink preparation and does not go behind the bar or into the kitchen.  Menus were provided which show that meatloaf and Italian beef were served last Thursday and that raw chicken is not a component of any foods offered for sale.  There was no raw or cooked chicken in any fridge and all beef was frozen in the freezer.  During inspection, it was noted that both the three compartment sink behind the bar and the three compartment sink in the kitchen were in use with chlorine sanitizer and sanitizer strips were available for testing.  Establishment believes that an employee who was recently terminated might have filed the complaint, due to the fact that the three compartment sink and counters cannot be seen from the bar and can only be seen when in the actual kitchen.  Recommend complaint be closed.  SS
