Rotten meat, fruit flies lead to 3 ‘C' grades at Greenville Co. restaurants

Fruit flies, food debris and spoiled meat were among the violations inspectors cited in giving four Greenville County restaurants failing grades in October. In all, the South Carolina Department of Agriculture made 387 routine and follow-up inspections for the month. A total of 358 received A scores and 24 B. C is the worst grade the Agriculture Department gives. If a restaurant scores below 70 it has to close until it is reinspected. La Cuchara on Haywood Road in Greenville was inspected on Oct. 27 and given a 72, a C. There was no employee on shift with a food handler’s certification, the report said. The inspector saw multiple employees fail to wash hands when changing gloves when changing tasks from handling dirty dishes to food prep. There were bags of frozen fruit pulps and utensils in the handsink at the server area. An open case of crab in the freezer had ice build-up directly on the product. Eggs and raw beef were stored above produce in the cooler. Various foods were at improper temperature including fried chicken wings, cooked rice, marinara, sweetened condensed milk, and fish. There was no consumer advisory disclaimer on the menu about ceviche, oysters, steak

This Charming South Carolina Spot Is Part Café, Part Grocery Store—And Worth The Trip

When I opened the brown paper bag it smelled like popcorn. The freshly baked bread inside had a delicious aroma of oil, salt and just a hint of sweet. After taking a bite into the perfectly crisp crust and soft doughy middle, I understood why it was such a popular staple at the Swamp Rabbit Café & Grocery in Greenville, South Carolina. The success of this stecca bread, named after the Italian word for “stick”, is a story of serendipity. “We were just slow one day, and so I was like, ‘Oh, I’ll make my stecca bread,’” co-owner Mary Walsh told Southern Living. She gave some to one of their regulars, and he couldn’t stop raving about it. Now the company bakes stecca bread daily, often pumping out loafs until the early afternoon. Walsh said, “I think the freshness is what makes it extra special.”
