I’ve actually only eaten there once when I was a freshmen, and I got about two bites into a burger and realized it was a mistake. This place was one of the establishments featured on the TMJ4 exclusive in the past, and it seems as though things have not improved. I was told that for my last post I never had to actually post about the squalid conditions of Gyros, I just needed to take a picture. I feel like that’s all I really should do for Ziggies, but then you’d miss all these fun violations. Some of the violations go back a bit, but I seriously can’t believe people still eat there.

• Food equipment must be clean and sanitized before used with food. The large cutting board in the back kitchen area is badly scored and dirty. Resurface the board to be smooth and cleanable or replace it with a new one
• Food equipment must be clean and sanitized before used with food.
• There is a 2 drawer refrigerated unit in the front cooking area that has raw meats being stored directly next to cooked gyro meat. The drawer below also has raw and ready to eat foods in the same space. Store all the raw animal product in the bottom drawer and all the ready to eat foods in the top drawer to prevent any cross contamination issues
• Utensils and food-contact surfaces of equipment must be sanitized. The sanitizer bucket that was set up on the cook line was at 0ppm. Properly set up solution to 100ppm for bleach-chlorine sanitizer. Use test strips to test concentration.
• Utensils and food-contact surfaces of equipment must be sanitized. The sanitizer bucket that was set up on the cook line was at 0ppm. Properly set up solution to 100ppm for bleach-chlorine sanitizer. Use test strips to test concentration.
• There are no shelves in the basement freezer walk in and all the food is sitting directly on the floor. Provide approved shelving in the freezer and keep all food up off the floor at least 6 inches.

4-101.11 There is a homemade style dipper well over the prep sink in the ice cream area of the store. This is not an approved dipper well. Remove the pan and use the dipper well that is properly plumbed. If you want to add an additional well it will have to be to code and properly plumbed.

There are still no roaches of to be reported there either. Guess they don’t all have infestations, but I’m still never setting foot inside that place. If I want to poison myself, I’ll walk the extra block to get to Gyros or maybe Real Chili…??
