Kitchen Cops find problems at a popular pumpkin patch
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - There were only a handful of problems on the Kitchen Cops hot sheet this week, but our lowest score comes from one of the most popular fall family fun spots in Madison County.
Madison County
Tate Farms in Meridianville was hit with a 73 during its most recent inspection. The health department says it found flies at one drink stand. That’s not unexpected, considering this is a fully operational farm. However, that’s just one of several problems listed. There was also an issue with a dirty ice machine. Inspectors say that the machine provides ice to multiple stalls around Tate Farms. There was also whipped cream and pizza at the wrong temperature, and multiple concession stands without sinks, soap, or paper towels.
The South Cafe at the Toyota Engine Plant in north Huntsville gets a 77. There was a clogged drain causing a backup in the kitchen, along with dirty soda nozzles and a broken hand-washing sink. There was also missing paperwork on food safety training for employees. The North Cafe had a high score of 86.
Cassie’s Cafe on Winchester Road gets an 84 due to its hot water not getting hot enough, a dirty ice machine, and no sanitizer in the dishwashing sink.
Limestone County

The Dairy Queen on Glenn Boulevard is the lowest score in DeKalb County with an 80. Inspectors say it was written up for mold in the ice machine and a cooler at the wrong temperature.
