Fulton gov’t cafeteria shut down over failed inspection
Fulton County's Chamber's Cafe failed a Fulton County Health Inspection after an inspector found more than 20 critical violations.

A Fulton County cafeteria failed a county health inspection after an inspector found more than 20 critical violations.
 
An inspector gave Chamber's Cafe a 59 score and shut it down Dec. 17. Health Department scores run from 1 to 100.  The cafe is in the Fulton County Govement Center in downtown Atlanta.

An inspection report obtained by Georgia Newsday  said employees weren't washing their hands and the staff needed to remove moldy food from the freezer and treat the area for roaches and fruit flies.
 
A county representative denied a request for an interview but said in an email that the cafe was run by a contractor named American Food Management and had been shut down twice before for Health Department violations. A call to American Food Management was not retued.
 
A man who ate at the cafe three weeks ago now wishes he had not.
 
"That is pretty bad. I mean, that's pretty bad," Timothy Thompson said.
 
Fulton County is actively looking for someone else to run the cafeteria.
