“OOOOH!” a colleague said, after learning that a recent inspection at the Washington Street outpost of the famed Los Dos Molinos restaurant revealed reused chip bowls. “That’s always my worst fear — that you’ll get that bowl with someone else’s cuticle pieces and other stuff from their fingers in it.”
Yeah, that’s a bummer. No stars for Los Dos on this visit — the Maricopa County restaurant inspector also noticed Comet and Off stored near red pepper, and organic debris on soda nozzles at the bar as well as on “many knives and other utensils”.
There were no accurate thermometers in the kitchen, cheese warming (not in a good way) on the counter and “real cream butter at 84 degrees under oven.”
The butter was discarded at the time. And the chip bowls were immediately sanitized. That day, at least.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
