No Sneeze Guard At This Ballpark Eatery: Kitchen Inspections

Several Charlotte-area restaurants saw their health ratings slashed after recent inspection. Here's what an inspector found in the kitchen.

CHARLOTTE, NC — Several Charlotte-area restaurants saw their health ratings drop last week after a health inspector found a kitchen in need of a deep cleaning, multiple food items with no date, the lack of a sneeze guard in the condiment section of a BB&T Ballpark eatery.

Do you truly know how clean your favorite coffee shop or restaurant is? Find out with the most recent restaurant and food service inspections in Charlotte, Huntersville, Davidson, and elsewhere in Mecklenburg County, performed by the Mecklenburg County Health Department.

At BB&T Ballpark Upstairs Suite Kitchen and Bar, an inspection found a dirty slicer stored as clean, and hot and cold foods stored at improper temperatures. At BB&T Ballpark Commissary and Home Plate Club, an inspection found an employee touching raw hamburgers before putting on gloves without washing hands, raw burgers stored above salad, coleslaw stored in the picnic area with no means of refrigeration or ice and no sneeze guard in the condiment area with onions, coleslaw and sauerkraut.

At Golden Bakery, an inspection found a handwashing sink blocked by a fan and “no date labels for the garlic sauce, cut peppers, mushrooms, the meat pies, pizzas, and the spinach pies.”

At Captain D’s, macaroni and cheese was found held at an improper temperature, an employee was seen rinsing off a kitchen utensil in the handwashing sink and the floors and walls of the kitchen “especially underneath prep tables and behind the fry/cook line” were in need of cleaning.
