Keepin' it Hot!
by Chef Cliff MacTavish
These trying times have been especially hard on the restaurant industry. As expendable income has shrunk people are cooking more at home and dining out a bit less and high end restaurants have been particularly affected.
Those slow nights equate to longer cold and hot food holding times. To prevent food-borne illnesses it becomes more important than ever to follow the safe food holding guidelines to the letter as spelled out in this chart provided by Hatco.
Please contact your local Hatco representative for hard copies to distribute to your customers.

A man is a bus driver on Sesame Street and insists on meeting all of his riders. At the first stop, two overweight women got on the bus; both are named Patty. At the next stop, a mentally challenged boy named Ross got on. At the final stop, a disgusting man named Lester Freeze got on, took off his shoes, and picked at his bunions.
When the bus driver got home, his wife asked him if he met anyone new that day.
He said, "Two obese Patties, special Ross; Lester Freeze picks his bunions on a Sesame Street bus."
