The kitchen at a McAllen Stripes store was temporarily shutdown and ticketed for “gross unsanitary conditions,” but it’s an Edinburg buffet that goes down as dirtiest this week.
D’ Cache on 304 South Schunior in Edinburg scored 28 demerits on a health inspection report.
A city inspector found the restaurant was operating a new buffet area without the proper building permit or necessary equipment to protect the public from the spread of germs.
The restaurant was ordered to stop allowing the public to serve themselves at the buffet stations where sneeze shields were missing.
An inspector said he believed the eatery was ‘improperly’ doing business for weeks.
A relative of the owner told the Food Patrol workers were serving the public from the buffet until a re-inspection.
