Key Findings

• Frozen food items were thawed improperly in a rinse basin with no running water instead of using approved methods.
• A handwashing sink in the front prep area had a severe leak spraying water onto the floor; staff placed a container underneath as a temporary fix instead of repairing it.
• Food prep tables in the rear area have rust on the work surfaces where food is prepared.
• Cold storage units, freezers, and hot holding equipment throughout the facility have not been cleaned; handwashing sink knobs are covered in old food residue.

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