The restaurant grading ordinance is in place so that customers will be able to eat a meal that is both great tasting and safe to enjoy as well. Having had my own restaurant inspected by the county, I knew that passing the grading ordinance of LA is no easy task considering all the rules and regulations. For these, reasons, Canoe must pass the grading ordinance along with having satisfying food to be successful.
The staff is a huge piece of keeping the restaurant's codes up to standard. The staff looked eager to be grinding away and was dressed clean and professionally.

This would bring about a situation in which the turkey would be in the danger zone for microscopic organisms due to temperatures. Another thing I noticed was that the chef failed to sanitize the knife which he used to cut two different kinds of meat. Furthermore, this could cause cross-contamination of bacteria. Even though the chefs were wearing gloves, no hair nets were being worn. Their hair could easily fall into the customers' food as they prepare it which is both disgusting and a violation. This would lead to very low scores in the mandatory inspection carried out by the county's ordinance. As a result, it would be difficult to uphold exceptionally high standards as a manager. In addition, when I looked around the room to take a look at the temperature in the rooms, there was no thermometer present. I could not tell if the temperature was up to code or not, but a thermometer is required regardless. As I was about to leave Canoe at 1 p.m. I observed that the turkey was still on the counter-top. This would mean that it was out for four hours, instead of a maximum of two under running water. Due to the lack of necessary safety and hygiene precautions mentioned, I cannot give Canoe a passing grade for the restaurant grading ordinance.
Since passing the restaurant grading ordinance is harder than one might seem to think. I am always available to help whoever takes over this restaurant
