Other violations included mop water being dumped on the ground outside the back door when it should be dumped down a drain. Overall, the inspection was a success based on the past couple of visits by the Health Department.

As RadarOnline.com first reported, in May 2021, an inspector visited Blaze and hit it with a failing rating. The report said they observed employees mishandling raw foods.

“Observed employee switch from working with raw food to ready-to-eat food without washing hands. Food handler touched raw oysters and raw salmon and then proceeded to handle ready-to-eat leafy greens with the same gloves on improperly,” the inspector wrote.

Further, the inspector said employees were not properly storing food at the correct temperatures “Observed that the both prep coolers on the line across from the ovens have food that is out of temperature above 41F,” the report said.

Kandi temporarily shut down the spot to fix the issues and then reopened within days.

A couple of weeks later, the inspector came out for another review. Blaze received a C rating after several issues were raised during the visit.
