In April

History:ย This was the restaurantโ€™s first regular inspection.

What the inspector saw:ย The inspector noted four priority violations, earning the deli a needs improvement rating. Those included an employee switching between tasks without washing their hands, another handle a ready-to-eat bagel with their bare hands, a slicer stored as clean with food debris and a deli case not keeping food sufficiently cool. During the April 21 follow-up, the deli case was still not functioning properly, earning AKA the failed inspection.

Follow-up:ย The deli passed the next follow-up on April 28.

Response:ย Owner Sally Kaneย said the deli case was recalibrated and now functions correctly. She also spoke with staff about the other issues.
