Donald Trump’s Chicago hotel is stirring up some serious controversy after failing a recent food inspection. According to reports, the Trump International Hotel&Tower’s kitchen showed a troubling array of violations, including small insects lurking around the bar and a dish machine that clearly didn’t understand the concept of sanitizing. Not to mention, a sink in the prep area turned into a less-than-pleasant waterfall of wastewater on the floor.
Things didn’t stop there! Inspectors found perishable foods being stored at unsafe temperatures, and raw shellfish that were missing essential labels. It’s truly mind-boggling how a hotel with such a high profile could fall prey to culinary chaos like this. However, after the dust settled and some serious scrubbing took place, the hotel managed to pass re-inspection within the week, proving it still has some level of culinary credibility—at least for now. Isn’t it funny how cleanliness can be a fleeting quality in the kitchen?
