Your Daily Marquette Dirty Dining (Places I’ll never eat at again): Post Bar Food at its worst

Marquette Gyros, or as the health department knows it “Gyro’s Delight” is hardly that. First of all I used to get a Chicken Bacon Swiss and fries there all the time and the guy had no idea who I was when I got in there. Second, have you ever used the bathroom in there? It makes me tremble. In hindsight I can’t believe anyone could go into that place and order food without a BAC. Ok here is what the health department found:

• There is an accumulation of grease on the filters. Hood filters must be cleaned as often as necessary to prevent the accumulation of grease
• There is a large chest freezer in the kitchen and the lid is broken. The seal does not work properly anymore and there is installation showing. Remove the unit from the kitchen area. Replace with an approved freezer.
• There was a raw turkey breast sitting on a shelf in the cooler over vegetables. Properly store all raw animal products below and away from ready to eat foods to prevent any possible cross contamination.
• There was no sanitizer bucket set up during inspection. Be sure to keep a bucket of sanitizer set up to the proper concentration during food prep times. Use the sanitizer to wipe down food contact surfaces to keep bacteria levels down.
• There is mold growing in the soda machine nozzles. Clean and maintain soda nozzles on a consistent basis.
• An employee was seen putting lettuce and tomatoes on a bun with bare hands. The employee stated that the store is out of gloves. Always keep a supply of gloves if gloves are to be worn to prevent bare hand contact. Alternate methods would include pastry tissues or tongs.
• A box of raw hamburger patties was sitting out on the counter near the gyro machine. An employee stated that this box was sitting there to thaw. This is not an approved method of thawing potentially hazardous foods. Thaw raw meat products in a mechanical refrigeration unit.

It’s like there is no place on campus for anyone to get burgers after bar close that doesn’t blatantly violate the health code…what are the poor hungry masses to do?
