Pan dulce in a bakery is normal. Rodent poop in a bakery is not. Thats what El Buen Gusto on 2802 East 14th Street in Brownsville had as the dirtiest this week on Food 4 Thought with 34 demerits. Horrible kitchen conditions are exposed in photos snapped by an inspector last week. They show roaches, mice traps, spider webs, baking pans encrusted with filth and mold in the freezer just to name a few. The Food Patrol shows some of the shocking photos to Berta Vega whos an employee at El Buen Gusto. She says the mess has been cleaned up. Were going to call the city back to be re-inspected, she added. Berta gives the Food Patrol a tour of the kitchen to prove there are no more rodent traps or roaches. A re-inspection shows 3 demerits but repairs to the business remain, according to a city report. Carnitas Merchant on 4683 Southmost Road in Brownsville is another kitchen in the Southmost area that failed to keep it clean with 28 demerits. Gisela Benavides is the manager. She shows the Food Patrol how things are slowly turning around in the kitchen since last weeks checkup. City photos from their initial report exposed flies, no labeling to know when foods are prepared, no hairnets on employees and inadequate hand-washing with blocked sinks. Gisela says change is on the way. Were making the changes on our end, she said. The person that were renting from is going to fix the problems inside in the next 30 days.
