Chicken wings in sink after thawing process. Please note that this sink has no overflow drain. Rules for thawing under water require that water run over product and drain. Because there is no overflow drain, this sink cannot be used for thawing unless food is placed in a container and that container placed in sink such that water can flow onto food and over rim of container into sink.
Establishment has removed salad bar. Please remember that it is the responsibility of the establishment to notify inspector of any major equipment or menu changes. This change is hereby approved with no additional guidance. As discussed, proposed change to beer taps (comparable cooler with additional tap head) is approved. Please contact inspector if establishment plans any other equipment changes or fundamental menu changes.
Glasswash machine not yet set up for the day and not evaluated. Ensure that it is working to manufacturer's specifications.

General Comments
Chicken salad held on ice bath observed at up to 45 degrees F. Temperature of surrounding foods suggests that chicken for this salad was not fully cooled prior to prepping salad and placing on salad bar, and at time of observation and correction, this product is well within 6 hour total cooling time for chicken. Please note that an ice bath is an approved cooling method. However, strongly recommend that this product be fully cooled in walk in cooler prior to placing on salad bar.

Thank you for correcting this critical violation and taking the steps necessary to safeguard the health and safety of your customers.
Glasswash machine at bar tested for proper operation prior to first use of the day and observed to provide no measurable sanitizer. Upon priming, sanitizer in tubing rises one inch of a six inch rise and then stops. Have dish machine repaired to provide proper sanitizer level of 50-200 ppm chlorine. Finding a way to shorten the tubing run may help prevent future problems with sanitizer and detergent pumps on this machine. Proper functioning of bar glasswash machine to be verified by follow up visit on 5/5/11.
