Santa Ana Councilman David Benavides is once again holding a fundraiser outside of his Ward, in Downtown Santa Ana, at Ketri Cafe, on Oct. 16, 2014, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.
Benavides bills Ketri Cafe as “A Local Hidden Gem,” but I guess he hasn’t looked at their record of health violations.
They were inspected by the OC Health Care Agency on August 7, 2014, after a complaint, and the inspection resulted in a bevy of violations:
- Facility not Fully Enclosed/Open Door/Air Curtain
- Lack of/Improper Handwashing/Handwashing Sup.
- Improper Holding Temperatures of PHF
- Restroom in Disrepair/Unclean/Improp. Use/Supplies
- Lack of/Unsanitary/Condition Walls/Floors/Ceilings
- Improper Food Storage/Receiving
- Unsanitary Equipment/Utensil/Linen/Plumbing
When they were inspected on March 13, 2014, they received two health violations:
- Facility not Fully Enclosed/Open Door/Air Curtain
- Restroom in Disrepair/Unclean/Improp. Use/Supplies
And they received one major and several minor health violations when they were inspected on March 6, 2014:
- Improper Food Storage (Major Violation)
- Restroom in Disrepair/Unclean/Improp. Use/Supplies
- Unsanitary Equipment/Utensil/Linen/Plumbing
- Lack of/Unsanitary/Condition Walls/Floors/Ceilings
- Lack of/Improper Handwashing/Handwashing Sup.
- Unapproved Pesticides/Chemicals/Labeling

They also received several health violations when they were inspected on Oct. 29, 2013:

- Inappropriate Sanitizer Level/ Lack of Test Strips
- Unsanitary Equipment/Utensil/Linen/Plumbing
- Improper Thawing
- Restroom in Disrepair/Unclean/Improp. Use/Supplies
Perhaps these health violations are why Ketri made this announcement, on Oct. 7, on their Facebook Page: “Friends, at this time Ketri will be closing its doors to the public and focusing solely on events and catering.”

Looks like a great event will definitely have to check it out! Thanks for the tip Editor!
Might want to take some pepto with you. Just in case…
Editor! Stop being such a poop. You are asking for a spanking.
You might want to avoid spanking anyone at this event. Might trigger something. ..
Ketri was delicious!
Glad you survived. Not sure we can say the same for the reeling Benavides campaign.
