HACIENDA BAR AND GRILL
219 Crossroad Blvd. STE 110, Dawsonville, Ga. 30534
Score: 80, Grade: B
Notes: Large lexan containers of cooked tomatoes and peppers - on container cooling since yesterday with temperatures of 49F - 52F and other container cooling 4 hours with temperature of 100F - 137F. Proper cooling requires time/temperature control for safety foods to cool from 135F to 70F with 2 hours and from 135F to 41F within a total of 6 hours. COS: Both lexan containers of cooked tomatoes and peppers voluntarily discarded. Discussed using shallow pans and possibly starting the cooling process in the walk-in cooler to hasten cooling from 135F to 70F. Large lexan containers (5 gallons) filled to top with grilled tomatoes/peppers and beans being put into cooler to cool. To cool rapidly as required, large amounts of food need to be broken down into smaller portions and rapid cooling methods such as ice baths, putting food into walk-in freezer or ice paddles need to be in use. COS: Tomatoes/peppers were cooling overnight/over 4 hours and did not reach required cooling parameters, beans still above beginning cooling temp were put into smaller containers and put on ice to cool faster. Hot water sanitizing dish machine wash temperature not reaching above 90F after running machine multiple times and refilling the water in the machine. In order to allow sanitizer to be effective, the water must be hot enough (at least 120F) to remove food debris from the surfaces of kitchenware/utensils and tableware. CFSM was contacting service company during inspection. Dumpster with drain plug sheared allowing for possible insect/rodent entry in to the dumpster. Replace plug to keep hole sealed to prevent liquids from leaking out and pests from entering into dumpster through hole.
