Rodent poop, dirty equipment and filthy ovens at a Miami-Dade sandwich cafe
The state inspector didn’t find much wrong at a North Miami-Dade hoagie place last week, but found enough to shut it down for the day.
Hoagie Hut Cafe, 11011 NW 27th Ave., sits across Northwest 27th Avenue from one of the entrances to Miami Dade College’s North Campus and Traz Powell Stadium and borders a large residential area. The Hut does steady business, but it was a complaint filed with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation that brought an inspector on Sept. 17.
Here are the four violations, one of which was High Priority, seen by the inspector.
Four rodent droppings were under a kitchen area prep table. Another five pieces of rodent poop were in a dry storage room.
A can opener was a “food-contact surface soiled with food debris, mold-like substance or slime.”
The oven contained an “accumulation of food debris.”
The wet wiping cloth, which was supposed to sit in a sanitizing solution when not being used, was sitting on top of the prep table.
Hoagie Hut got back in business after passing the re-inspection on Wednesday, Sept. 18.
