at a place that serves oxtail fogua
Lobster and lamb you don’t expect to
find problems in the kitchen but a
restaurant whose name is synonymous with
elegance and fine dining barely Dodge
being shut down in this week’s dirty
Dawning here’s Contact 13 Chief
investigator Darcy Spears
something stinks in the kitchen at
Andre’s French restaurant in the Monte
Carlo or at least it did on September
12th when Health Inspectors downgraded
it to a sea with 40 demerits inspectors
noted a severe odor upon entering
Andre’s kitchen and that’s just the
beginning of this lengthy report on the
most honored and awarded Restaurant in
Las Vegas instead of accolades for
Andres Health Inspectors blasted the
place for their handling of potentially
hazardous foods saying their methods
were unapproved improper and in
violation of Health District regulations
as a result Andres had to toss a whole
lot of high-end expensive food into the
garbage including crab pork belly oxtail
turkey stuffing and pickled lamb the
trash can also became home to this moldy
shredded cheese inspectors found in the
fridge they also found foie gras and
lots of other food that had overstayed
its welcome mashed potatoes and shallots
and oil were founded on unsafe
temperatures and duck fat had been
sitting out at room temperature for
three days frankincense labeled do not
eat was found amidst the dry goods and
personal drinks were found with public
food old labels were found on various
cleaned food containers leaving
inspectors skeptical as to how well the
containers were cleaned there was too
much buildup in the ice machine and
scale coated the pressure gauge which
had a broken needle to boot the vector
bug Light was directly over the dry
storage racks luring bugs toured instead
of away from the food inspectors found
stained cutting boards and splintered
wood planks and they say Andres was
improperly canning cooked tomato sauce
onions carrots and artichokes instead of
showing you how things look inside the
Andre’s kitchen now you’ve got me
standing outside the Monte Carlo Andre
sent us a written statement saying they
immediately responded to all the Health
Inspectors concerns then successfully
corrected the violations within 24 hours
but we can’t show you what it looks like
because they won’t let us in and they
won’t respond to any concerns on camera
they are back up to a nine demerit a
grade and we’ve posted the entire
written statement they sent us on our
website to find it go to ktnv.com and
