General CommentsEnsure that the dishes and utensils are being scrapped from food prior to manual washing or using the dish machine to ensure that they are getting washed, rinsed, and sanitized. There were several dishes and utensils observed during this inspection with food debris left, so just make sure the food debris is being scrapped off prior to wash, rinsed, and sanitize. Also, make sure we are paying attention the foods in the walk in cooler with dates on them because as they expire they need to be discarded. This inspection and last inspection there were foods found with expired dates on them and were discarded. The items stored out by the dumpster area needs to be removed as soon as possible as it is accumulating and is not necessary for operation. Please call 910-878-1270 if you wish for a regrade.
