A Top Chef’s Kitchen Nightmare
Uh-Oh! Former Top Chef contestant Spike Mendelsohn’s Washington, DC burger joint Good Stuff Eatery has been hit with some health code violations. According to reports, The District’s Department of Health cited the restaurant for what they have deemed several “critical” missteps, including such culinary clangers as storing beef in an alley behind his Capitol Hill café. A Sept. 4 health inspection report cited the unsavory storage technique, along with three other Running a Restaurant 101 no-nos: not having hand-washing facilities available to employees, not properly sanitizing cutting boards and other surfaces and not separating and protecting food.
Spike admitted no wrongdoing in the matter. He also said that his establishment is very clean. Subsequent health department visits on Sept. 12 and 15 found a correction of the earlier violations and no new ones.
