Key Findings

• Cooling units lacked working thermometers needed to monitor safe food temperatures.
• Cutting boards with deep cuts and grooves in prep areas can harbor bacteria and were ordered replaced.
• Chipped paint, dark-painted walls and ceilings, and a large hole in the floor under a sink made cleaning difficult and invited pest problems.
• Ceiling attachments in the basement prep area were missing and damaged; electrical outlets and piping were coated with accumulated grease and food debris.

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