Proper cooling methods
Inspector’s notes
Observed grilled pork cooling in a covered pan in the reach-in cooler. Pork measured 67F and was cooked several hours ago, per kitchen employee. [corrective action] Food must be rapidly cooled from 135F to 70F within 2 hours and from 70F to 41F within the next 4 hours. [correction] Pan was uncovered to facilitate cooling.
In plain English
Food was not kept cold enough, hot enough, cooled fast enough, or cooked or reheated to the right temperature. Bacteria grow quickly in the "danger zone" between 41°F and 135°F, which makes this one of the most important food-safety checks.

Premises clean, in good repair; Personal/chemical storage; Adequate vermin-proofing
Inspector’s notes
The upstairs storage room and the stairs leading to it had excessive clutter. [corrective action] Remove items that are not necessary for this business. Keep this area organized so that it is accessible for routine cleaning/maintenance.
In plain English
The inspector found mice, rats, cockroaches, flies, or evidence of them (like droppings) inside the business, or conditions that could attract them. Pests can spread bacteria to food and surfaces, so this is treated as one of the more serious findings.
