Anyway, my question for all you pros out there is what is the critical hi and lo temps for food out of the reefer?
You weren't wrong with your temperatures.
Your error came in apply that to leaving meat come to room temperature.

The 40°-140° is correct in regards to leaving food out for serving purposes.
They don't apply to leaving food out temporarily to come to temperature.
