  • Reach-in and display coolers lacked thermometers to monitor proper temperature.
  • In-use utensils were stored directly inside food containers instead of being properly stored between uses.
  • Faucet at the 3-compartment sink was leaking, and floors had loose debris, dirt, and dust buildup throughout.

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