Restaurant That Trump Called 'Filthy' Actually Has A Glowing Health Record

By Nicole Lafond | June 25, 2018 11:20 am

Not so “filthy” after all.

Despite President Donald Trump’s dubious claim that a restaurant’s exterior appearance will unfailingly mirror its interior cleanliness, the restaurant in Lexington, Virginia that gave White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders the boot over the weekend actually has a glowing health record, according to county health department documents.

Red Hen’s last violation was found during an April 2014 inspection — raw meat was stored above cookie jars and the expiration date on some grits stored in the refrigerator was improperly labeled — and both errors were corrected at the time of the county officials’ visit.

Red Hen’s last inspection was completed on Feb. 6, 2018, when it received a clean bill of health with no violations or required follow up visits. The Rockbridge County official who conducted the inspection even noted the staff’s “clean uniforms/aprons,” the proper restraint of the cook’s hair and an “excellent job on code-dating.”

Before February, Red Hen was inspected on Jan. 24 2017 and it received similarly high marks: “Good food and unit temperatures;” “Clean aprons; “Employees properly washing hands during evaluation;” “Hand sink fully stocked with soap/paper towels, hot and cold running water.”

That he is proven wrong (and a liar), once again, is no surprise.

He told an aide to find him some dirt, and as usual ran with whatever half-remembered snippet somebody quoted him. Of course it was going to be an incomplete picture at best, and in this case a lie.

Jan 201: President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago is cited for 15 kitchen violations, maintenance problems

President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., was cited for 15 kitchen violations and other maintenance problems, according to state records after a November inspection.

Despite membership fees that cost an eye-watering $200,000, the club's smoke detectors were missing flashing lights to alert the hearing impaired during an inspection in Nov. 8, according to state records cited in the Miami Herald.

clearly, Trump's tweet has exactly one goal: revenge on an establishment for refusing to serve one of his staff members, so it stands as a warning to others. truth rides in the trunk for these operations.

like the one at Mar-A-Lago that's had numerous violations each of the last 3 years.
