Main Street Meats, Hooter's and Dockside Cafe struggle during health inspection

Main Street Meats' smokestack chicken sandwich features pulled chicken heated in paprika butter then stacked with mushrooms, house pickles, mayo, bacon and Gruyere. A side order of stone-ground grits slow-cooked in cream is a great complement.

No failures were reported in this week's health inspection results, but some restaurants received low scores and were cited for reasons such as glasses not washed and being used, touching ready-to-serve food with the same glove after handling raw food and mildew.

Scores below a 70 are considered failing.

Main Street Meats scored a 76 and was cited for glasses not washed and being used, employees not washing their hands after handling raw meat and then handling buns and the fermentation process in use with no HACCP plan submitted.

Hooter's Restaurant on Brainerd Road scored a 79. The restaurant was docked points for the cook touching ready-to-serve food with the same glove after handling raw chicken, floor drains with old buildup, wiping cloths on the floor rand returning them to the shelf or table instead of in sanitizer and the floor and walls were in bad repair.

Dockside Cafe, on Harrison Bay Road, earned an 80 overall due to improper cooling methods, mildew around the dishwasher and food debris behind and under the grill. The score was corrected from an 80 to a 95.

Ten other restaurants received a perfect score of 100.
