Once the operator was told that the lack of monitorng food temperatures from 120-45°F is a critical violation, he agreed to record temperatures correlated with times to show proper cooling, and have the logs readily available at inspections for review. The need to label cleaning and sanitizing buckets was explained. |

Item 15B: Lighting and ventilation inadequate, fixtures not shielded, dirty ventilation hoods, ductwork, filters, exhaust fans Comments: Comment: No violations in regard to food prep were observed. However, inspection occured when facility was just opening up. Discussed preparation of menu items with operator. Based on the limited business present in a small town setting, operator prepares small batches of food or it is cooked and served (pizza, bugers, sandwiches and wraps, chicken wings, pasta). The soup is prepared in gallon and half batches. A portion is placed in the steam table on the day of preparation. The remainder typically last for two more days. As mentioned in the last inspection, the large kitchen is kept clean but the lighting is poor in the remote corners. |

The lighting is fair to poor in the food prep area. However, kitchen and surfaces appear to be thoruoghly cleaned daily. Proper Heat sanitizing by dishwasher was not verified. Discussed preparation of menu items with owner. There is no large volume of food prepared at facility that would involve cooling, reheating and hot holding. Only the soup cooked, hot held, cooled and maybe reheated and hot held a second day. Current menu was picked up during inspection. Cook touched toast with bare hands while cutting off crust. Correction: Toast intended to be used for french onion soup, was voluntarily discarded food handler was educated on importance of not touching ready to eat. However, toast placed in soup with cheese and then placed in broiler may reach 165F. Encouraged cook to use food probe which, he did while inspection was being written up. He found that the toast, cheese and soup did infact reheat up to 180F. No violation. |

However, kitchen is clean and operator is familiar with and practices food safety when preparing menu items. |
