Investigation was done in response to a complaint from someone who claimed they had became ill after reporting in their food history they ate here on 12/17/13.

Investigation of the following was done: The manager reviewed their notes if anyone had called in sick or was sick on 12/17. The manager reviewed their doctor notes file and  noted that an employee left from work on 12/12 reporting nausea. The job title of the worker is server.  Discussed with the manager about proper hand washing. Noted employees preparing food donned gloves. Make sure employees are washing hands between switching tasks and changing gloves. Temperature of raw chicken breast in the walk in cooler and in the drawers next to the grill were at the proper temp.

At this time, it was noted that the floor in the dish washing area and around the mop sink is very wet. Discussed keeping the floor dry or semi-dry.

While conducting this investigation also discussed with the manager how the cockroach issue was going. He said they still have Okin pest control coming once a week to treat with gel. traps and monitoring glue traps.  Discussed keeping the floors clean and he said they have been using the hose more to spray and clean under equipment. Seal any cracks and crevices in the walls, floor or ceiling to help prevent hiding spots for cockroaches.
No violation noted during this evaluation.

  • Critical: Presence of insects/rodents. Animals prohibited
    Recheck for cockroaches. Corrected. An inspection was done and at this time did not observe any cockroaches. This does not mean the pests are eliminated and routine treatment from your pest control operated should still continue. Establishment's last pest control invoice from Okrin was dated 11/14/13 and monitoring glue traps were observed at the 3-compartment sink in the bar area and on a shelf(not containing food) under the soup warmer. Discussed with the manager about moving the traps to locations where pest activity has been seen. The manager stated they have placed monitoring traps in the drop ceiling also to see if there is any activity there. The next treatment for pest is scheduled for next week.

    Observed areas in the walls where the metal is not sealed.
    This area could possibly be a area where pest could hide and bread.
