TOPPING THIS WEEK'S LIST IS TEJAS CAFE WITH 32 DEMERITS. INSPECTORS NOTED EGGS, TOMATOES AND OIL AND VINEGAR WERE NOT KEPT COLD ENOUGH. THEY FOUND ROACHES, THE MOP SINK NOT DRAINING AND RUSTED SHELVES IN THE WALK-IN COOLER.
THE SKILLETS IN PORT LAVACA WAS GIVEN 36 DEMERITS. HERE FOOD TEMPERATURES WERE ALSO A PROBLEM. EMPLOYEES NEED TO WASH THEIR HANDS BETWEEN TASKS AND THE MICROWAVE AND ICE SCOOP CONTAINER NEED TO BE CLEANED.
IN SEADRIFT, CAPTAIN MORGANS RACKED UP 32 DEMERITS. SOME OF THOSE WERE FOR COLD FOODS THAT WERE TOO WARM. THERE WERE FLIES, THE MICROWAVE NEEDS TO BE CLEANED AND FOOD NEEDS TO BE STORED PROPERLY TO AVOID CROSS-CONTAMINATION.      ON A RE-INSPECTION OF CAPTAIN MORGANS, MOST OF THE VIOLATIONS WERE CORRECTED.
BACK IN VICTORIA, 20 DEMERITS WERE GIVEN TO DRAGON PALACE. INSPECTORS DID NOT SEE EMPLOYEES WASHING THEIR HANDS BEFORE PUTTING ON GLOVES. TO AVOID CROSS-CONTAMINATION, RAW MEAT NEEDS TO BE STORED BELOW OTHER FOODS AND THE COUNTER NEEDS TO BE SANITIZED AFTER CUTTING MEAT. INSPECTORS ALSO FOUND RODENT DROPPINGS IN THE CONTAINER HOLDING CLEAN UTENSILS.

UPON A REINSPECTION AT M&M PINTO BEAN ON RIO GRANDE, INSPECTORS FOUND VIOLATIONS THAT STILL NEED TO BE CORRECTED. EMPLOYEES NEED TO WORK ON WASHING THEIR HANDS BEFORE PUTTING ON GLOVES. THEY ALSO NEED TO GET RID OF THE FLIES AND RODENT DROPPINGS.
THE M&M PINTO BEAN ON LAURENT HAS MORE PROBLEMS TO CORRECT. FLIES WERE ALSO A PROBLEM AT THIS LOCATION, RAW MEATS NEED TO BE STORED PROPERLY TO AVOID CROSS-CONTAMINATION. INSPECTORS FOUND CONDENSATION DRIPPING INTO OPEN CONTAINERS OF FOOD IN THE COOLER AND THE SINK IN THE BACK WAS LEAKING WATER INTO THE KITCHEN. 
INSPECTORS WILL BE BACK TO THE M-AND-M PINTO BEAN ON LAURENT.

AT JIM'S BIG BURGER INSPECTORS NOTED PROPER FOOD TEMPERATURES, EMPLOYEES FOLLOWING HYGIENE PROCEDURES AND ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT WORKING PROPERLY. SO NO DEMERITS WERE SERVED UP AT JIM'S BIG BURGER.
