Problems with hygiene in a restaurant have the potential to cause an eating establishment a great deal of money. That is why it is important to cut down on the amount of food that is returned to the kitchen. And, more importantly, it is necessary to cut down on the potential costly health department violations that could ensue. And, yes, you will want to reduce the specter of lawsuits which are commonplace when food poisoning and other problems rage out of control when one is not in control of the sanitation of a restaurant.

Number One: Bacteria The main concern for any kitchen is to keep food and utensils free of any and all bacteria. Such bacteria are commonly found on raw foods such as eggs and seafood, chicken, raw rice and some fresh unwashed vegetables. Restaurant proprietors must take the steps needed to ensure these problems are not common in their kitchens.

It is also very important that kitchen personnel use extreme care when they prepare food. Often, cooks are known to touch raw meat and seafood immediately after wiping their hands with a dirty towel. Proper hand washing is of critical importance to the proper operation of a restaurant because it dramatically reduces the potential for bacteria to spread from food to the customers. Actually, a combination of cleanliness and properly cooking the food will help kill off most problematic bacteria.

Number Two: Labels and Dates It is very important that every item in the kitchen is marked clearly with labels. This labeling will do a great deal in terms of eliminating waste as the staff will only open those items that are needed. Conversely, those items that should be opening will remain that way. When the staff does open a container, it becomes important to label the item clearly with a date. This means all food including those items that are very fresh. This will reduce the potential for rotting food making its way to your customers.

Number Three: Always Use Clean Utensils Kitchen staffs are infamous for using dirty utensils in a hurry. I am not saying that they are using filthy utensils to serve food, what they are doing is taking the tongs that were used to get the tomatoes and taking them and using them to grab fish or rolls from the oven. Make sure that they are always using a clean utensil for different foods. Clean pots and pans to kick in. Glasses and plates need to be clean. I have lost count of the number of time I have gone to a restaurant and been given dirty silverware. This is just plain carelessness and it could be costly.

Number Four: Not Using Fresh Ingredients In a pinch, they forgot to order staff may be tempted to use food that is slightly past its useful date. Make sure that you staff understands the importance of using fresh ingredients. Tainted food can cause illness and in some cases death, which can mean you are facing a lawsuit.

Number Five: Leaving Food in the Show Window No one likes to go to a restaurant and receive stale dry food. This happens when food in the show window is served after it has been on display for too long. While not stale, it certainly loses much of its appeal. From this, bacteria resurfaces and that is why such food should not be served.

Number Six: Employees Touching Their Hair Servers and food personnel might unconsciously scratch or rub their hair and think nothing of it. This is not an innocuous problem. It can lead to the spreading of all variety of germs and bacteria. In fact, it may even spread hepatitis and salmonella. Hence, such a practice must be avoided at all costs.

When visiting California, a stop you wouldn’t ever want to miss is Sacramento, and all its fabulous wineries. The area has great weather and beautiful landscapes that combine to make the vintage wines you will sample taste even better. Sacramento wine tours are held all over. Sometimes you can even take a limo and make everything even more memorable.

Sacramento is a great place to start tasting wine because of its central location near the countries best wineries, and near-constant sun that makes it a great place both for people and the grapes that are grown there. These grapes give California six varieties of wine, with many wines of each type: white, red, fortified, non-varietal, and blended.

About thirty different wineries can be found in Amador, an area known for its Zinfandel, but that also produces Syrahs, Chenin Blancs and Barberas in wineries typically near mid-town Sacramento. One winery, Montevina, makes particularly good Zins and Chanin Blane. Red wines, about 40 wineries and around 25 varieties of grapes, can be found in El Dorado.

If you’re looking for one individual winery to stop at, consider Jodar, one of the best wineries in Sacramento, and widely considered to be a place every wine lover should visit. It’s popular for its red wines, but its whites are always worth the stop as well. But don’t limit yourself unless you have to, because the best wines are plentiful in Napa Valley and Somona.

When you think of wine, chances are one of the first areas that comes to mind is Napa Valley and its wineries. The three most popular wineries there are the Frank Family, Caymus and Chandon, all worth a visit. Somona is almost as famous a wine area with its own premier wineries. It is known for the Carneros and the Alexander Valley.

If you want to take a limo, there are several options that offer comfort and costs that you can meet even if you’re on a budget. Popular amongst many, they let you ask your limo driver to plan your tour for you and expand your experience. Safety is an extra plus - after tasting several types of wine, it will be good for someone else to drive you around.

To cut the cost of your luxury tour ride, look for more affordable types of limos and try to reduce the number of miles you will travel, as well as time spent on the road. However, you should make this part of your wine tasting plans, if at all possible. The stylish ride will make you feel as famous as the wines you are tasting, and make the trip a once in a lifetime affair.
