There are 3 failing grades in this week's Restaurant Report Card, one each in Hamilton, Bradley, and Catoosa counties.
In Hamilton County, the 75 Sur located on Airways Blvd received a score of 56. The inspector saw that staff and manager lacked food safety knowledge. Gloves were available and sitting out but staff was not using them while preparing food. The cooler temperature was at 70 degrees so food was not being stored at the correct temperature. Food was being prepared outside of the 75 Sur kitchen and proof could not be provided that the couple preparing the food was allowed to make the food. There was no soap or towels at the employees' hand sink, plus it was blocked by mop buckets. The same sink was used for washing hands, equipment, and dumping drink glasses. There was heavy build up inside the ice machine.
In Bradley County, the Bojangles on King Street received a 68. The inspector noticed that the person in charge did not know correct cooling procedures nor was certified as a Food Safety Manager. The current permit was not posted. No lights in the men's restroom. The thermometer used all morning to check food had been sanitized every couple hours but after taking temperatures for every product the thermometer would be put back in its case. The case had not been sanitized, it was taken to be cleaned. Reheated food was not brought up to the correct temperature. Cooler not at correct temperature. Chemicals were found near drinking cups. An employee preparing food was wearing a watch and bracelets while another employee wearing fake nails was scooping food without gloves on.
In Catoosa County, the Smoothie King on Battlefield Parkway was initially given a score of 57. The inspector noticed that the manager did not have food safety knowledge. Employees were handling money and not washing their hands before prepping food and also wearing bracelets. Food was not held at the correct temperature and not dated. Buckets of sanitizer were stored on food prep surfaces. Employee items were not being stored in the designated area. There was not a self-closing door or air curtain to protect the back entrance from letting in pests. A follow-up inspection resulted in a perfect score of 100.
Also in Hamilton County, the Sky Zoo located on Lee Highway received a score of 79. While inspecting this establishment, the inspector noticed the dish machine was not working and drinking glasses were put away dirty. The cooler was not at the correct temperature and food not dated. Also, too many lights were out in the kitchen.
