  • Rule Violation and Requirement: VIOLATION OF SECTION 4-601.11(A) *PRIORITY FOUNDATION* Food-contact surfaces are not clean, specifically:
    Prep coolers on the cook line are not clean inside. This was observed on the last inspection. Although I see improvement to cleanliness, the coolers are not clean enough to have this violation removed. Operator instructed to clean them again in areas shown at inspection. Please clean all parts including the soiled gaskets. A soiled knife was observed between two prep units. This is not an appropriate knife storage area since the crack where the knife is stored is soiled with old food debris and old encrusted grease deposits. This problem has been cited on previous reports in this restaurant. Find a permanent solution to this. Read below:
