Justin Hernandez Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Health department got call out to this restaurant, found the water heater not working and god knows what else. It probably hasn't been working in years and this little tankless does the whole place, kitchen, bath and other sinks. Not to mention this tankless has a million code violations theres like 30 violations on the electric alone. They were using a 30amp switch with 10 gauge wire pig-tailed off the switch. It all burned up because everything needs to be rated for 60amps. Some nice french fires!! Another problem besides everything, is that code requires 36 inches of copper water lines off the tankless. This is so gross that a restaurant has no hot water to wash dishes and still doesn't because theres low water flow at the kitchen. This is only a point of use water heater. The owner tells me they wash dishes with chemicals so they don't need hot water. So you use soap no $#!t Disgusting!!! I guess its a good thing to work in restaurants because you work inside the kitchens and you know what places not to eat at. If you ever been inside a Golden Corral kitchen or any Chinese place you would die. Don't eat there!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Soo many places are gross...I never liked Golden Coral but my Mom took my Great Grandmother to eat there once when I was a kid. Apparently my Great Grandmother started acting weird and stopped eating, turned out she had a caterpillar that had crawled under her dentures. Last time anyone in my family went there. I think there's been four places that I've eaten at (all are popular to eat at in Tampa) that have been shut down because of a health inspection. It's gross but it's pretty much guaranteed to be something gross when someone at a restaurant prepares your food. My Dad worked in the seafood industry and he did private industry plant inspections, his inspections were harsher than what the government considers safe...which is disgusting. Papa Johns passed FDA inspections, my Dad failed them for work with an international firm because they had FDA approved number of bugs in their dough. He also found old ingredients from other companies in their plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evey time its just looks so bad Yes, yes and YES!! Cpvc is cheap to buy and install but that's how its done here even in big commercial buildings its used and of course homes. There is only like ten feet of copper in the houses here sometimes even less. This tankless does require 36" of copper on both hot and cold lines then you can transition to cpvc.

WigWagWorkshop Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 This is the main reason I learned to cook for myself. We rarely go out to eat, we have a nice Mexican Restaurant, that I know is clean, and a local pizza joint, that's in a house converted in to a small restaurant. Restaurant inspections are public, and you can find them online. That's how I know the 2 places I do eat are clean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to get them completely clean and its expensive labor wise and so is the cleaner that is use. So most places don't even bother to clean them its nasty On 3/20/2016 at 3:12 AM, PROTOOLNUT said: I like when you find died dogs inside the wall in freezers, true story.

You can usually see what the kitchen looks because its right it front of you and they make your food where you can see them. A buddy of mines wife got food poisoning a few weeks ago he said dinner for the two of them was almost a hundred bucks.

MikeInCtown Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Darn you guys live in some odd places. Health inspectors go through places here like 2x a year if not more. A health inspector doesn't know electrical code, nor plumbing code. You either have correct temperatures or you don't. As long as they don't see certain things on the floors, can openers, fidges, and the equipment holds food at proper temperatures then you will pass. FWIW there are a lot of places out there with strict cleaning policies where they move equipment on a nightly basis and wash and scrub down everything. (an Olive Garden for example) BTW you don't need hot water for anything as there are sanitizing chemicals and bleach which do the job in place of hot water.
