Macaroni and cheese packages sitting in the prep sink to thaw, but not in a pan under running water, were also observed. These issues were also observed in the last inspection.
Holy Trinity Catholic School, at 3750 William D Tate Ave. in Grapevine, was told to take corrective action due to a repeat violation for food in the hot hold unit ranging from 110 to 125 degrees. The hot hold unit needs to maintain temperatures of 135 degrees or above.
