Mar-A-Lago Kitchen Cited For 15 Health Code Violations

[kpete]

The Miami Herald reports:

A year after the discovery of foods that could sicken people at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, his Winter White House was just cited by inspectors for poor maintenance. Never mind that it costs $200,000 in initiation fees to join the exclusive club, which has two restaurants and a bed-and-breakfast. Fresh state records show the B&B needed emergency repairs in order to pass the latest inspection in November.

Trump’s club, located on a beachfront property where the historic main house was built in the 1920s for cereals heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post, was cited Nov. 8 for two violations deemed high priority: the lack of smoke detectors capable of alerting the hearing impaired through flashing bright lights; and slabs of concrete missing from a staircase, exposing steel rebar that could cause someone to fall.

The November inspections of the club’s two main kitchens, meanwhile, yielded a total 15 violations. Among the no-nos was the staff’s failure to track the freshness of potentially hazardous foods, including curry sauce dated Oct. 21 pulled from a freezer and improperly marked, milk stored at 49 degrees instead of the safe temperature of 41 degrees, and cases of hot dogs stored on the ground of the walk-in freezer.

1. I can't imagine why a kleptocrat...

is so opposed to government regulation.

I mean, it's not like corporations would actually kill people for profit.

4. Come for the currying, stay for the salmonella.

5. This is why they don't like regulation

They would rather take those chances than spend the $$ on the improvements they need. Keep it for profit rather than invest in making the place better.

6. Hot dogs at Mar-A-Lago?...

Betcha they're not Hebrew National.
