"Low Sanitation Grade Closes Hillsborough Street Restaurant
gumby's

Posted: Today at 6:09 p.m.
Updated: 39 minutes ago

Raleigh — A Raleigh restaurant has been shut down due to a low sanitation grade.

A sign on the door reads, Gumby's Pizza on Hillsborough Street is closed because of oven and electrical issue, but WRAL's 5 on Your Side found out there is much more behind the shut down.

The most serious violation cited by the inspector was food temperature concerns. The inspector noted a lot of cheese, chicken wings and other food was being left at potentially dangerous temperatures.

The restaurant scored a 70.5 in June, barely a C grade. Then in mid-September, a manager requested a re-inspection.

In June, the inspector said equipment needed to be replaced or repaired, but it wasn't. The inspector also said he told the manager a cheese shredder needed to be cleaned before it was used again. A couple of hours later, the manager used it anyway, according to the inspector.

Another violation noted by the inspector was condensation dripping onto the food prep line. Food storage containers were also said to be dirty, surfaces dusty and despite previous requests for equipment repair, the inspector said nothing was done.

The score given by the inspector was a 60.5. Gumby's was closed until further notice. WRAL tried to contact the local operator as well as the president and vice president in Florida, but was unable to reach them. The inspector plans to meet Tuesday with the owners."

I know a health inspector in a county without a large commercial base...

She said that a mediocre score in those counties are worse than a mediocre score in a larger county (Wake, Mecklenburg) because that draws less business which they need already.....

on that note, I know some places on Hillsborough street and this is bad! Too bad it's Gumby's though, my college memories

Really. Monica Laliberte goes down this extensive list of completely gross things and then she gets to the punchline... this restaurant scored an 87. It really makes you wonder just how bad things have to get for a place to get anything below an 85 or even 80.

and they get extra points for taking a class...which is bullshit in my opinion

I dont eat anywhere that has below a 90.

well it seems like people only ate the pokey sticks anyway, which weren't that hard to fuck up sanitation wise
