The Showdown Fails Health Inspection

Mice produce 50 droppings daily containing Salmonella and hantavirus. Cockroaches carry 33 bacteria types and 6 parasitic worms. Rats spread plague and leptospirosis.

Observed mouse droppings on the floor in the vicinity of the garbage cans downstairs. The operator has monthly pest control. Clean the droppings, sanitize the affected area, and continue regular pest control at the facility.

Temperature abuse causes 63% of foodborne outbreaks. Clostridium perfringens multiplies rapidly between 70-120°F. Listeria grows even at refrigeration temperatures.

Measured milk at 50F and roast beef at 50F in the bottom portion of the right side, large food preparation coolers on the cooks' line. The milk had been there a few hours and was moved to a working cooler. The roast beef had been there overnight and was discarded.

Dirty cutting boards and utensils cause 76% of cross-contamination. Biofilms protect bacteria from cleaning. One contaminated surface spreads pathogens to dozens of foods.

Observed mold on the baffle inside the ice machine downstairs. Clean the mold. 114117, 114125(b), 114141

Without hot water, dishes cannot be sanitized and hands cannot be properly washed. Allows survival of viruses and bacteria that cause foodborne illness.

Measured hot water at 107F at the 3-compartment sink in the bar. Provide hot water of 120F to the sink. Measured warm water of 77F at the handwash in the right side (operable) restroom downstairs. Provide warm water adjustable to between 100F and 108F to all handwash sinks.

Household equipment cannot withstand commercial use and harbors bacteria in cracks. Latex gloves cause severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

Improperly stored utensils collect airborne bacteria and dust. Contaminated storage spreads pathogens to clean items.

Observed a knife wedged between the two large food preparation coolers on the cooks' line. Cease wedging knives or other utensils between pieces of equipment or equipment and an adjacent wall. Observed an unsecured CO2 cylinder by the cash register at the west wall in the kitchen. Chain up or otherwise secure all CO2 cylinders so that they cannot fall over.

Observed a damaged hood filter at the left end of the long ventilation hood with a 2" gap in the filter. Repair/replace the filter so that there are no gaps.

Dirty wiping cloths spread millions of bacteria across surfaces. Cloths used on raw meat spread Salmonella and E. coli throughout kitchen.

Observed three wet wiping towels that were not in sanitizer in the bar area. Store all wet wiping towels in a sanitizer solution when not in use.

Without sanitizer, wiping cloths become bacteria breeding grounds. One contaminated cloth can spread pathogens to every surface it touches.

Observed a submerged drain line inside the floor sink beneath/beside the dishwash machine in the kitchen. Elevate all drain pipes at least 1" above the rim of the floor sink. Observed a leak from the backflow prevention device on the mop sink downstairs. Repair the leak.
