Chester Brunnenmeyer's Bar & Grill

Ice machines shall be cleaned at a frequency that precludes mold growth. Observed pink microbial growth on the food contact portion of the dividing board of the ice machine. Food thermometers shall be clean to sight and touch before use or storage. Observed food residue on food thermometer that was stored as clean. PIC cleaned and sanitized food thermometer.

Proper cooling methods such as shallow pans, storing foods uncovered and unstacked, and stirring thick foods shall be done to ensure foods cool rapidly. Observed chicken wings being stored fully covered with plastic that had been prepped 1.5 hrs earlier and had a temperature of 100 degrees. PIC removed coverings and placed wings in shallow containers to ensure food chilled to below 70 within 2 hours. Also observed sliced turkey and roast beef that had been prepped 20min prior that were stored with metal or plastic covers. PIC removed all covers to allow rapid chilling.
