There are some confessions of a health inspector. The question is about what the mystery meat is. There are common violations in the restaurant game, but there are also ways to prevent them. There is some good insight on how to prevent a bad health inspection. There are some real kitchen nightmares out there.

Key Takeaways:

• The cold food on the restaurant’s buffet was well over the FDA Food Code’s recommended 41⁰F, and the hot food was well under the recommended 135⁰F.
• Another time when inspecting a fine dining restaurant, I found numerous temperature violations
• To be honest, I see cross-contamination issues, temperature abuse problems and insect infestations on a regular basis.
