A Trump golf course to avoid

Daily Beast - A local government inspection found the restaurant at one of Donald Trump’s golf clubs is positively crawling with health code violations.  Loudoun County health officials last month toured the kitchens at Trump National Golf Club Washington, D.C., in Potomac Falls, Virginia, west of the capital.

There are a number of truly disturbing problems with the place, according to the officials’ write-up of their visit, first reported on Monday by NOTUS. The most glaring was “a large quantity of small flies” found in a storage room itself located, for reasons unclear, “near the employee restrooms.”

Inspectors also shamed the club’s grill for storing food at temperatures above county health code requirements. The blue cheese, sausage patties, sausage links, and pasta, all kept at between 8 and 13 degrees above the recommended temperature, were of particular concern.

“The person-in-charge voluntarily discarded the blue cheese and sausage,” county records show. There is no note of what remedial action may have been taken over the pasta, which “was prepared several days ago.”

The outdoor pizza preparation area apparently lacks “a handwashing sink in convenient proximity to food employees,” meaning staff have to walk back “to the clubhouse to wash their hands.” Inspectors also found pest control strips “hanging above the food preparation table” there, and a can of insect killer with a label that “does not state that use is allowed in a food establishment.”/
