Hard Eight BBQ, Texas 121, The Colony, TX, USA
5 years ago •reported by user-bwzmw854
As someone who knows a lot about food safety (we own a fast food chicken restaurant and have been through Serv-Safe training), we have found ourselves increasingly aware of violations at Hard 8 The Colony. They do not follow FIFO (First In First Out) when replenishing product on the open pits, not once in our many visits have we seen temperatures being taken, cutting boards and cutlery being sanitized, or cross contamination being addressed. The “holding cabinets” in the pit area for cooked foods have a sign that says “product must be at 160*”, but even when we see them take product out of his cabinet (it’s righr in the area where customers can see) they do not check temperatures before adding to existing product, and they do not rotate food as stated above. We even said to ourselves on the walk up to eat the day of December 23rd that if anyone got sick we would no longer be eating at this establishment since we felt the quality and cleanliness had suffered in the last few months.
