Undercooled meat. Dangerous fish. Health inspectors zing Trumps Mar-a-Lago kitchen

[kpete]

Just days before the state visit of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s Palm Beach private club, Florida restaurant inspectors found potentially dangerous raw fish and cited the club for storing food in two broken down coolers.

Inspectors found 13 violations at the fancy club’s kitchen, according to recently published reports — a record for an institution that charges $200,000 in initiation fees.

Three of the violations were deemed “high priority,” meaning that they could allow the presence of illness-causing bacteria on plates served in the dining room.

1. This is not a problem because trumpster and Rick Scott and the rest will soon

be doing away with ALL health laws, regulations, departments, etc.

For real.

2. The cons will solve that problem by weakening the health department's inspections

3. Yuck! However, health inspectors routinely find problems

in most restaurant kitchens they inspect. Between inspections, kitchen staff tends to get sloppy. The longer the time since the last inspection, the more violations that will probably be found.

Basically, you don't really want to visit a restaurant kitchen. It's a great way to lose your appetite, frankly.

I'm not excusing Trump or Mar-a-Lago, but such things are far from uncommon, even in high-end restaurants.

4. Not to worry. He'll have those broken coolers repaired... and not pay the repair workers.

5. Food costs. Gotta keep those food costs down

I'm sure they'll get new coolers and charge us for it.

6. So you're saying there's hope? :) (Hold the GOP convention there!)

Actually reminiscent of famous Maxim's kitchen in Paris (by George Orwell)

7. So this is why he wants to deregulate everything n/t

8. No wonder tRump gets his steaks burnt to a cinder

Or perhaps he's blissfully unaware of the problems in the kitchen. This represents only the issues that were caught; wonder how many were hastily amended when staff found out the inspectors were coming?

Also, I wonder how much saliva and/or who-knows-what tRump has unknowingly consumed over the years - at the Mar-a-Lieo and elsewhere?

9. That's Trump.

Everything not spray-painted gold is shoddy.

10. Because, I imagine, getting dumpy to actually pay for ANYTHING

like repairs or upkeep has got to be a nightmare.

11. Yet another reason I'm glad I don't eat meat or fish

[underpants]

12. No wonder Trump orders his steak burned

and covered in ketchup. It's like his not washing his hands in the bathroom thing, he thinks it gives him an edge.

13. Kitchen staff report mysterious rat turds tend to appear

every time tRump shows up.

14. Anybody can do that job.

I hear this all the time on DU. Food service workers are low skilled, need no education and are easily replaceable by anybody because one needs no intelligence to work these jobs. Heck, they're meant to be filled by teenagers anyway. No restaurant ever was meant to employee adults according to many on this board.

Enjoy that cheap labor food!

15. nasty inspectors interfere with business where they don't belong bigly
