Columbus’ Culinary Scene: Restaurant Scores Serve Up a Mix of Flavors and Insights
Welcome to the vibrant culinary landscape of Columbus, Georgia! This week, we’re diving into the delicious details of recent restaurant inspections, where not only are the scores in, but a few culinary gems are shining brighter than the rest.
A Dash of Latin Flair: International Latin Food F.L.
Let’s start with International Latin Food F.L., nestled at 4724 Hamilton Road. This eatery, bursting with the vibrant flavors of Latin cuisine, recently scored 80 on its health inspection. While diners may love the aromas of sizzling meats and zesty spices, the inspection highlighted a few areas for improvement:
- Food Safety First: Operating without a certified food safety manager requires a swift remedy—this must be corrected within 10 days of the inspection.
- A Quick Clean-Up: The hand sink, crucial for clean operations, was found without hand cleanser. Not to worry, this has already been addressed.
- Raw Meets Ready: The inspector found raw beef, pork, and chicken chilling a little too close to ready-to-eat foods in the reach-in cooler—which is now fixed!
- Thawing Woes: The facility was caught thawing raw meat in stagnant water, but this little hiccup has been resolved swiftly.
While they may have faced these challenges, the heart of International Latin Food F.L. beats strong with tantalizing offerings that still keep customers coming back for more!
Wings and Flavors to Savor: B’moski’s Flavor Wings and Cafe
Next up is B’moski’s Flavor Wings and Cafe on 4701 St. Mary’s Road, which scored a commendable 88. Known for their crispy, flavorful wings that are sure to get anyone’s taste buds tingling, this spot faced a couple of chilling issues:
- Temperature Takes Center Stage: A container of chicken wings and Boston butt were found at elevated temperatures in the main kitchen’s reach-in cooler. Luckily, this temperature misstep has been promptly corrected.
If you haven’t indulged in their wings yet, you’re in for a treat—imagine biting into perfectly fried wings drizzled with your choice of tangy sauces, each more addictive than the last!
