Annual inspections
Mine is here,
Had to reschedule it for next week due to my work schedule and they are very understanding. This should be a walk in the park and I'm hoping to get a five star rating. How often is yours?

BTW because I am mobile it's tougher on them to fit us in but we do everything we can to keep them involved and even invite them to come watch us work and give advice on how to improve.

All of the food inspections in Texas are unannounced and can occur at any time of the day. Most of the inspections occur prior to opening for the day though and they get a good idea of your standard food safty practice regarding prep and cooking. University Park rewards us with at least two inspections per year and for the last four inspections, I have had no deducts so therefore it has been 100% which is a fact I am very proud of as our practices and rules are being followed by my entire staff.
Early on one of my 3 point deducts was for the food prep counter not being clean. Put in place the practice of wiping with sanitizer solution the moment the cutting board is moved to the sanitizer and stopped that deduct in it's tracks. |

Most here are unexpected too but because I'm sort of a one of a kind and mobile they need to contact us. Other vendors that have alloted street corners ets just get dropped in on, seeing that I don't have a place or schedule things are a bit more obscure. At least twice a year I invite them to an evet we are doing so that they can advise or inspect. She called me out of the blue but we were ready for them. :)
The inspection was four hours ago and they didn't fine anything wrong but gave one suggestion and that was for us to have a larger hand sink/wash basin.

Score, over here many BBQ places do not appear to adhere to real standards. My go to place was slow this morning and the staff was cleaning like crazy, very nice to see.

I know I'm only working to the standard in which other brothers and sisters here stand for and want I want to be served by but it's a great feeling when you walk by other restaurants and only see a three or four.
Just goes to show that even a little guy starting out can beat down the big dogs so those of you that are thinking of starting up listen to the others in this section about getting with your local health authority first.
