One Chattanooga area restaurant was just one point away from a failing grade this week after an inspection by the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Health Department.
Buffalo Shack at 1512 Tunnel Boulevard was given a score of 71 after an inspection found its refrigerator was not working. Celery and chicken wings were being kept at improper temperatures and the freezer did not provide adequate space for the volume of chicken. Its permit will be temporarily suspended until the refrigerator is repaired or replaced.
___
The Chattanooga-Hamilton County Health Department inspects restaurants twice a year and grades the businesses on a 100-point scale. Scores below 70 require corrective action.
Restaurants are reinspected if they fail to meet critical standards. To file a health-related complaint, call the Department of Environmental Health at 209-8110. The scores are original and do not reflect on-the-spot changes, which sometimes lead to upward adjustments.
No failures reported for the week ending May 1, 2019:
71 Buffalo Shack
1512 Tunnel Boulevard
Reasons including: refrigerator not working, water with celery was 55; chicken wings recently delivered, partially frozen in refrigerator that was 58; using freezer does not provide adequate space for volume of chicken; will need to provide adequate refrigeration to remain open; will temporarily suspend permit until refrigerator is repaired or replaced; chicken still below 41 since delivered frozen.
