re: TJ Ribs - Acadian - Closed By the Health Board (Hot Water Heater Broke)

The incident I stated was shutting down a small area of the restaurant (the bar), and this was done by the management to make sure there was no risk of being cited.

But I think a place can be shut down for less than what you listed.

-Water not being hot enough to sanitize dishes/silverware
-Overspray from the dish cleaning area "contaminating" clean dishes

Hell, I watched a cook dry out his weed (from rain) under the heat lamps while serving food .

It's been years since I worked in food service, so I don't remember everything, but I remember certain things standing out that I don't think an inspector would have turned a blind eye to. I mean they listed that the frequency at which food prep areas were cleaned was not enough. I don't ever remember cleaning food prep areas except for at the beginning and end of a shift.
