The Brownsville restaurant scored the most demerits this week on Food 4 Thought.
               
Big Daddy’s is located on 1775 Central Boulevard.
               
Kitchen cops found off temperature food, employees not washing their hands, a dirty flour tortilla, flies and dirty equipment.
              
There were other violations as well.
               
The inspector took photographs of them.
               
The Food Patrol questioned management as to why so many problems piled up in the kitchen.
               
“We did have a couple of demerits,” Jeremy Gonzalez said.
              
 “Do you really think 40 demerits are just a couple?” Action 4’s Ryan Wolf asked.
               
“Can you put down the camera?” Jeremy said while covering the lens.
               
The rest of the interview is blocked by his hand.
               
Jeremy later admitted to the Food Patrol that he was short staffed when the inspector arrived.
               
He said it was a busy shift and he cut too many people ahead of the inspection.
