A Kendall pancake place dished up stacks of violations, including workers \u201cwashing\u201d hands without soap, when a state inspector dropped by last week.<\/p>\n
The Original Pancake House, 11510 SW 72nd St., recovered in time to pass re-inspection on Thursday, limiting its timeout time to a single day. But, Wednesday\u2019s routine inspection found 46 total violations, 19 of which were High Priority.<\/p>\n

South Florida restaurant filth<\/a><\/p>\n The inspector saw \u201capproximately 60-plus ants crawling on a wall and rack where clean whisks are stored; on top of two pots of pancake syrup; on a prep table where a tea dispenser is stored; and, behind the oven in back prep areas.\u201d<\/p>\n Stop Sales came down on the pots of pancake syrup.<\/p>\n As for roaches, three dead ones were spotted, two under a prep table in the back prep area. Four living roaches were \u201ccrawling on the floor between the dish area and doorway leading to the dining room.\u201d<\/p>\n Also in that back prep area, there was a \u201cbug zapper stored on a shelf above a prep table.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE: A Trader Joe\u2019s frozen rice dish has been recalled. Customers found glass<\/a><\/p>\n Now, to the handwashing problems.<\/p>\n The inspector saw someone \u201ccrack raw shell eggs, then grab clean plates and utensils without changing gloves and washing hands.\u201d<\/p>\n Another employee \u201chandled dirty dishes, then continued to handle clean plates and food without washing hands.\u201d<\/p>\n Someone else \u201cwashed their hands without soap,\u201d then the inspector saw a \u201csecond employee rinse hands without soap at the cookline hand sink.\u201d<\/p>\n To be fair to the latter person, the inspector also noted the malfunctioning soap dispenser on that handwash sink.<\/p>\n A washed and sanitzed pot sat on the floor in dry storage.<\/p>\n Cooked beef was \u201cthawing at room temperature on a table near the walk-in cooler,\u201d instead of in a refrigerator or cooler.<\/p>\n The cookline reach-in cooler drawers would\u2019ve been suitable for thawing if they could keep food at or under 41 degrees. Failing at that one job got shredded cheddar cheese (46 degrees) and raw beef burger patties (48 degrees) hit with Stop Sales after their sleepover in the drawers.<\/p>\n Hollandaise sauce sat at the wait station, out of temperature control, for more than four hours. Stop Sale. Basura.<\/p>\n Standing water covered the area under the three-compartment sink and the dishwasher, creating a bad mix under the dishwasher. Along with the floor under the cookline, the dishwasher floor was \u201csoiled with old food debris.\u201d<\/p>\n Carboard was used to line a food contact surface, specifically \u201cused as liner on top of the stove at the cookline.\u201d<\/p>\n A food delivery came during the inspection and the inspector noticed there \u201cno probe thermometer was used to check the temperatures of the food received.\u201d<\/p>\n The manager was \u201cunaware of how to calibrate the thermometer and the proper calibration temperature.\u201d<\/p>\n A dishwasher didn\u2019t know how to test the dish machine\u2019s sanitizer.\u201d<\/p>\n A cook didn\u2019t know the \u201cminimum cooking temperature for raw shell eggs.\u201d<\/p>\n
