Nashville, Franklin restaurant inspections find wastewater, moldy food

Nashville health inspectors suspended a restaurant’s permit in October after finding wastewater pooled throughout the kitchen. At other Davidson County establishments, inspectors found water dripping through black buildup onto ice, cooked chicken skewers hanging from a gas line and moldy strawberries in a walk-in cooler. Davidson County logged 1,591 food-service inspection records in October, including 1,069 routine inspections and 522 follow-ups. Inspectors awarded perfect scores during 331 inspections. But nine routine inspections, detailed below, scored 61 or below. Nashville Korean BBQ Hot Pot temporarily lost its permit after it continued operating after inspectors discovered a wastewater leak, according to the Oct. 14 inspection report. During an Oct. 20 reinspection, the restaurant's score was upgraded to 92. In Williamson County, inspectors conducted 213 food-service inspections, including 160 routine inspections and 53 follow-ups. Eighty-three inspections earned a perfect score. The county’s three lowest scores ranged from 74 to 77. Several other establishments improved substantially on follow-up. Sancho Panzaa Cantina went from 55 to 98, while The Draft Room at Kings Bowl in Franklin rose from 74 to 99 in a week. Follow-up scores below reflect the available October records.
