Lexington restaurant inspections: Antifreeze in the kitchen, food stored in trash cans

The Lexington-Fayette County Health Department has released an updated list of 158 restaurants and businesses that are under enhanced regulatory enforcement for food service.

It’s a slight dip from the 160 reported at the end of September. And this time there were no restaurant closures by the health department between September and the end of January.

That’s a big improvement: And at least eight local establishments were closed by the health department between June and October, with one business closed twice.

The health department’s enhanced enforcement list, formerly known as probation, has been growing: There were only 150 establishments on the list in June, up from 114 establishments in November 2022.

Between the end of September 2023 and the end of January 2024, 30 food service establishments were added to the health department’s list for heightened scrutiny designed to protect the dining public from food-borne illness.

The Fayette County Health Department does not flag on inspection scores which restaurants are on the watch list or post full restaurant inspection reports on its website. The Herald-Leader obtained the detailed list and individual reports through open records requests, but the health department limited the number of reports due to staffing constraints.

What restaurants came off the watch list

Restaurants come off the list once they have twice passed inspections with no significant issues.

At least 34 establishments came off the list since September after successful passing repeated inspections.

Establishments that came off the watch list include AP Suggins, China Star, Cinco de Mayo on Richmond Road, Circle K at 3469 Buckhorn Dr., Columbia Steakhouse on North Limestone, Columbia Steakhouse Grille on Richmond Road, Corral Event Center & Restaurant at 3130 Mapleleaf Dr. Suite 160, Domino’s Pizza at 524 W. New Circle Rd., Dunkin Donuts at 316 E. New Circle Rd., El Charro at 4371 Old Harrodsburg Rd., El Cid, El Maguey Mexican Restaurant & Bar, Frisch’s Restaurant, Happy Sushi, Indi’s Fast Food at 670 N. Broadway, Johnny Carino’s at 2333 Sir Barton Way, Kroger at 1051 Chinoe Rd., Lighthouse Ministries, Mr. Kabab, Panda Cuisine, Papi’s Mexican Restaurant & Bar at 818 Euclid Ave., Roosters, Rosticeria Dona Coco, Santa Fe Taqueria, Shepherd’s House, 635 Maxwelton Ct., Speedway at 819 S. Limestone Taco El Potro at 413 W. New Circle Rd., Tates Creek Golf Club, The Wok, Timmy Two Time’s, Thornton’s at 441 Redding Rd., Wah Mei, Wheeler’s Pharmacy and Willows at Hamburg.

Two restaurants came off because of remodeling or format changes: C&P Restaurant on Manchester is closed for remodeling and La Folie closed and is reopening as Shun Lee.

All of Lexington’s nearly 1,500 food service establishments, from daycares to hospitals to grocery stores to restaurants, are inspected at least twice a year and most pass without significant problems. Hundreds score a perfect 100, many more than once.

Restaurants and food service establishments are required to post their most recent scores at the front door; scores in green boxes indicate passage and scores in red indicate failure. Those that score below 60 are closed until issues are remedied. Inspection scores are available online at the Lexington health department’s web site.

How Lexington restaurants are inspected by the Health Department

After a pause at the beginning of the COVID pandemic, the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department in 2021 resumed the key public health measure.

Restaurant inspectors place restaurants that fail on critical points on a watch list. The “enhanced regulatory enforcement” comes with a stepped-up inspection schedule designed to catch potential problems earlier.

The measure, previously known as the probation list, restarted in August 2020. The Board of Health voted in September 2021 to update food service regulations to formally include the program.

Restaurants are placed on the list when they score below 85, fail a significant inspection point or if they are required to be closed due to imminent health hazard such as raw sewage, evidence of rodent or insect infestations or a lack of electricity.

Problems that constitute a failure are those deemed by the Food & Drug Administration to have the highest potential to affect the public health adversely, such as a improper food handling, lack of hand-washing or improper dish sanitizing.

Luke Mathis, environmental health team leader, said in 2022 that the intent of enhanced regulatory enforcement is “identifying establishments that are struggling with food safety compliance and providing additional monitoring.”

The hope, he said, is that the more inspectors are there, the quicker they will spot things that need to be changed “and through education help them get into compliance.”

“The overall goal of the program is to improve public safety, sanitary and hygiene practices within these establishments, so the public will feel safe eating out,” said Skip Castleman, Environmental Health and Emergency Preparedness Coordinator. “All of our placards are still posted at these establishments, so they have a means of looking to see if a restaurant has passed or failed. With a green placard, they’ve passed; with a red placard, they’ve failed. And they can also look on our website too, before they go out to eat.”

Typically, food service establishments are inspected every six months. With enhanced enforcement, inspectors usually come every four months, Mathis said. Restaurants come off the enhanced enforcement when they pass regular inspections without significant issues twice in a row.

Generally, restaurants that are in the enhanced enforcement program are safe to eat at or the health department would have closed them down.
