College Park Cafe 33 Health Department Violations Including Using Bare Hands to Dip French Toast

The State Health Department visited College Park Cafe at 2304 Edgewater Drive (MAP) for a routine inspection on March 24th and then a required followup inspection March 28th. A third inspection (2nd follow-up) is required.

The first inspection revealed a build up of grease and food debris on the shelves, hood filters, kitchen floor and equipment door handles. The inspector observed the Chef using bare hands to dip French toast in egg mix, wiping hands with a towel, not washing their hands and continuing to work. The inspector instructed the Chef to wash their hands and use gloves. The Chef "did it but did not switch gloves out after touching raw foods."

The second inspection revealed that the Chef continued to handle raw food and cooked food without washing their hands. The Chef cracked raw shell eggs and continued to grab muffins on the cook line to place on a plate for guests.

During the first inspection, an employee at the front counter grabbed bread without gloves from the toaster and placed it on a customers plate. The Chef grabbed French toast and bacon with bare hands to set the plate. 

The full list of violations is below.
