Violations:
A summary of the violations found during the inspection are listed below.

Code   Description / Observation / Corrective Action
105  Critical Repeat Inadequate Cooling & Refrigerated Storage of Potentially Hazardous Food(s)
Observation: Bottled sauces were noted at room temperature on the server's side of the pass through.
Corrective Action: Unless documentation can be provided indicating that sauces do not require refrigeration, it is expected that all potentially hazardous foods will be stored at the proper temperature. If the 2 hour room storage temperature rule is being applied to these sauces as part of the facility's food safety plan, all remaining product in the bottles must be discarded at the 2 hour mark, not returned to the cooler for re-use at a later time. This problem was also noted on the November 25 2009 inspection report and again on the December 18 2009 report.
105  Critical Repeat Inadequate Cooling & Refrigerated Storage of Potentially Hazardous Food(s)
Observation: The burger assembly line cooler measured temperatures between 8C and 12C.
Corrective Action: All refrigeration units must be capable of maintaining foods at or below 4C at all times. Note: this problem was also noted on the November 2009 routine inspection report and again on the April 2010 routine inspection report.
110   Food Not Protected - General
Observation: Food not protected during storage from potential sources of contamination; not properly covered, food containers noted on the floor in walk-in cooler and freezer.
Corrective Action: All foods in the dry storage room must be in sealed containers. Open bags of food should be transferred into sealable containers. Boxes and containers of foods cannot be stored directly on the floor, these must be at least 6 inches off the floor to avoid introducing contamination from the floor onto counter tops and food contact surfaces.
113   Improper Sanitary Facilities
Observation: Inadequate hand washing facilities, no paper towel is provided behind the bar.
Corrective Action: A paper towel dispenser must be mounted behind the bar in a suitable location.
116   Improper Construction / Maintenance of Establishment
Observation: There is a missing kickplate under the end cooler behind the bar. This has created a large area where food and glassware is starting to accumulate.
Corrective Action: This area should be routinely cleaned and food debris removed, otherwise the area should be sealed properly with a kickplate.
116   Improper Construction / Maintenance of Establishment
Observation: There is a missing access panel on the wall behind the pop syrup shelves.
Corrective Action: Replace access panel.
116   Improper Construction / Maintenance of Establishment
Observation: The lids for the cornstarch and flour containers in the dry storage area are held together with duct tape.
Corrective Action: Replace broken lids with proper fitting lids that can be easily cleaned.
