Home Spun in Gwinnett County scored 60 points and a U for unsatisfactory on Nov. 6. The report says there was a brown mold-like substance in the ice machine. Plus, there was abundant debris, dust and food residue on the flat grill, and lima beans, yams and mac and cheese were at unsafe temperatures. Atlanta News First dropped by the restaurant to ask about the violations and noticed they posted an old health inspection score instead of its failing one. Moments later the manager showed up but did not want to be identified. “Yes, we are working on it. The ice machine is done. The other sign I had to put up is up and she is here now checking the kitchen, and the temperatures have been okay which is what she is doing now,” a manager said. The manager said the health inspector was at the restaurant during our visit, helping them get back on track. Home Spun earned 80 points and a B on a reinspection. Now to a good score in Fulton County, Tacos & Tequilas on Ponce de Leon Avenue in Atlanta did very well on a routine inspection this week, scoring 98 points and an A. {S}table on Dunwoody Village Parkway in Dunwoody earned a 100 on its last health inspection. That’s two perfect scores in a row. Congratulations. It is the winner of our coveted Golden Spatula award. They have been in business for six months. When you step in it’s very comfortable. They have a great bar so you can grab yourself a cocktail while you’re waiting on your meal. In the kitchen it’s one of the cleanest I’ve seen. They use homemade recipes. They also have fresh ingredients, and everything is made to order. A lot of the influences come from the low country of South Carolina. You can start out with the charcuterie board on a lazy Susan. They also have a nice quail on the menu, fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, pulled pork dumplings, and a large pork chop. They also have a nice pecan pie for dessert. Boy, that’s good!
