Eggs stored under a dripping pipe and croquetas trashed at a Miami-Dade bakery

Cleanliness, sanitizing after cleaning and proper food storage were some of the ways a West Miami-Dade bakery wasn’t up to snuff during a state inspection last week. Friday’s stop at Suarez Bakery by Florida Department of Agriculture inspectors Lori James and Luis Lopez ended with a Re-Inspection Required result, the designation of a failed Ag Department inspection. READ MORE: Utensils not properly cleaned and sanitized at an inspected Miami-Dade bakery Here’s some of what James and Lopez found wrong at Suarez Bakery, 10684 Fontainebleu Blvd., in the strip mall at the corner of Fontainebleau Boulevard and Northwest 107th Avenue: The food-service area’s ice machine had “black, mold-like substance on and around the ice chute and interior housing.” The inspectors hit the ice machine with a Stop Use Order, which they lifted once the machine was washed, rinsed and sanitized. Also in the food-service area, “cups, silverware, tongs, stirring wands, and plates were washed and rinsed at the ware wash sink, but not sanitized before use.” That’s probably because the ware wash sink sanitizer, which should’ve measured 200 parts per million, measured zero parts per million, as did the sanitizer in the backroom ware wash sink.

At these Palm Beach restaurants, chicken is anything but ordinary

When perusing menus at Palm Beach restaurants, do you ignore chicken dishes in favor of what may seem more exciting proteins like seafood or prime-grade steak? If so, you may be overlooking a gem of a meal. Fact is, chefs on the island love working with chicken and appreciate its versatility for showcasing their culinary creativity and technique. Great chicken dishes can be both revelatory and comforting. Just ask elite French chefs. For years, they’ve insisted the way to judge a cook’s prowess is the ability to perfectly roast a chicken. Here’s a taste of delicious chicken dishes to explore in Palm Beach. Echo, 230 Sunrise Ave. Sesame chicken with sweet garlic sauce A savory umami and tang, a gentle garlic-and-earthy sesame presence and a sweet finish are among the attributes of Echo’s sesame chicken with sweet garlic sauce ($41). At the popular pan-Asian restaurant owned and operated by The Breakers, the sauce bathes bite-sized chicken pieces tossed with vegetables. “Chicken is one of the most versatile ingredients in the kitchen, lending itself to a wide range of cooking methods and flavor profiles,” The Breakers’ executive chef of restaurants, Anthony Sicignano, told the Palm Beach Daily news.
