Elk and Oarsmen Bar & Grill

Inserts with cooked onions, mushrooms were noted on side prep table after cooking. Ensure items are RAPIDLY cooled to 4C to prevent any risk of botulism. Larger inserts may not cool within 4 hours; one method would be to spread product out and place in walk-in to ensure rapid cooling.

Items kept on ice at side prep table (cut tomatoes, guacamole, cut onions etc), were measured at 8C and not fully sunk into ice. Recommend mechanical refrigeration for these items. If using ice, test temperature and ensure food level is no higher than ice level.

One ceiling tile is peeling/separating, a few others have dust/are damaged. Ensure ceiling stays in good repair and cleanable. Ceiling tiles beside dishwasher are splattered with debris; replace or thoroughly clean.

Shelves on side prep station (storage for inserts) are rusted and no longer cleanable. Repair or refinish shelving so that it is cleanable.**Bottom shelf is smooth stainless steel- good. Top shelf sitting on top of table still has some rust/damage. Replace areas that are rusty/not cleanable.

Wall beside pizza oven has large hole and is pitted/not cleanable. Patch and refinish wall so that it is cleanable.**While on-site noted that pizza oven will be removed and wall repaired during fall shutdown.

Rubber seal on walk-in refrigerator door are damaged. Replace seal so that refrigerator closes tightly.**Rubber gasket still needs replacement but door is now sealing well (latch fixed).
