Pass

A routine, unannounced visit by a city health inspector.

Multiple prep areas had broken or dimmed lights, and fryers accumulated excessive grease.

Key Findings

  • Two prep kitchens had non-functional or very dim lighting, including one light out in the walk-in cooler, creating inadequate visibility for food preparation.
  • Fryer bottom compartments on one side accumulated excessive grease buildup requiring detailed cleaning.
  • Floor drain below the 3-compartment sink was heavily soiled with food debris and buildup.
  • Exhaust filters in one prep kitchen were heavily covered with dust buildup.

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