Adoro Fusion Kitchen + Bar

Bar

2509 W North Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

West Side

Dec 5, 2024 β€” Canvass inspection

Pass

A routine, unannounced visit by a city health inspector.

In-use knife stored unsafely between counter and equipment; clean dishes left uncovered; floors under kitchen equipment caked with food debris.

Key Findings

  • A knife in active use was stored wedged between the counter and cold-holding equipment instead of on a clean surface.
  • Clean serving plates, bowls, and cups were stored uncovered on a shelf above the cook line, risking contamination.
  • Floors beneath cooking and hot-holding equipment had dried food debris and soil buildup from infrequent cleaning.

Key findings are derived directly from the inspector's notes from the Chicago Department of Public Health. See the full violation notes below.
