What is one of the most common kitchen violations has made it into the Dilworth Neighborhood Grill's kitchen as well. That violation is employees not washing their hands properly.

There are strict rules about where and how often you have to wash your hands if you work in food service. Even before putting gloves on employees are supposed to wash their hands, but didn’t this time.

According to the report, one employee was handling raw chicken and with the same gloved hand was holding ready to eat chicken. Additionally, there was a black build up on the bar ice machine and fruit flies were abundant.

Next up, Sports One Charlotte, a popular sports bar and lounge located at 521 N. College Street in Charlotte.

Their cooked onions, some lettuce and the spring mix was all too warm, by almost 15 degrees. Regulations from the Mecklenburg County Health Department require it to be chilled below 45 per regulations from the Mecklenburg County Health Department.

Some of their cabbage, milk, coleslaw and cooked wings didn’t have dates on them. That’s a must do, so you know when to throw it out. On top of that, an inspector said they spotted a roach near the ice machine. Their grade? A 91.5, a low "A."

Finally, Charley’s Philly Steaks located at 11025 Carolina Place Parkway.

According to reports, an employee was handling raw meat and then without switching gloves or washing, handled the bread. Some of their cold sausage and chilled tater tots were too warm.
