Even the finest of establishments can fail to practice proper food safety.
On Friday, the banquet area of the Drake Hotel— the high-end venue at overlooking Lake Michigan at Oak Street Beach– failed a restaurant inspection. There are some pretty harsh things observed by CDPH inspectors:
- Two employees didn’t wash their hands after going to the bathroom
- An employee handled raw chicken and didn’t use soap to wash up
- A cook scooping soup with a bucket, then placing that bucket on the floor
- Cockroach crawling on a wall
- Hanging fly traps in the kitchen
- Peeling paint
- Food strainers with loose wiring
Not good. Here’s a full list of suspected food poisoning inspections.
