In September

Β History:Β Since 2000 the restaurant has received ratings of good and excellent almost exclusively, though it did receive one needs improvement rating in 2010. This was its first failed inspection.

What the inspector saw:Β Eleven priority violations, which earned the restaurant a β€œprobationary” rating. These included a hand-washing sink with no paper towels; hamburgers contacting a cutting board that was not being cleaned frequently enough; elevated levels of chlorine in sanitizing solution; wings kept at unsafe temperatures; and unlabeled spray bottles.

Follow-up:Β Passed its first follow-up inspection on Oct. 5.

Response:Β Owner J.J. EsquibelΒ said all the issues raised were fixed before the follow-up inspection. He described the first failed inspection as a β€œteachable moment.”

β€œMoving forward it will definitely help us to improve what we’re doing,” he added.
