As president, Donald Trump has already hosted two world leaders for dinner at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida instead of at the White House. But he might want to re-think what he serves with that chocolate cake.
The Mar-a-Lago Club was cited for its highest-ever number of health code violations in January, the Miami Herald reported.
Records from a routine inspection January 26 note 10 violations in all, including three deemed “high priority,” the most severe category. In coolers, foods like shrimp and burgers were found at temperatures up to 50 degrees Fahrenheit, much warmer than the required 41 degrees. In a walk-in cooler that also should have been 41 degrees, ham was stored at 57 degrees. Fish that was intended to be served raw had not undergone proper parasite destruction and needed to be cooked or thrown away immediately, inspectors said.
The number of violations was bigly for the property, but it’s not an uncommon number for a restaurant undergoing routine inspection, according to Stephen Lawson, a spokesman for the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. A statement from Mar-a-Lago pointed out that all of the urgent violations were corrected on the same day they were found. As far as restaurants go, Mar-a-Lago’s inspection was relatively average.
But then again, when the Japanese prime minister is one of your upcoming dinner guests, one bad fish could really screw things up.
News of Mar-a-Lago’s inspection started trending after the Miami Herald dug up the report, which was made available on January 26. Less serious violations included a lack of hand-washing signage in a restroom and rust on freezer shelves. Lawson said diners have no cause to avoid the restaurant, which requires a $200,000 membership to enter.
We’ll stay away anyway, thanks.
