You need to check with your specific health department. In most states the hot-holding temps need to be above 140F, and the cold holding below 41F. There have been a lot of revisions over the last couple of years, and some places are not up to speed yet.

They told me no chili, because its so called hazardous food. However I can have chili beans in sauce. If the can says chili I have to have a lab test it to make sure its not hazardous.

I got this thing from the health dept and it said the commisary has to sign it everyday. However I may read it again. Maybe I am wrong.

I am bummed I can’t have chili or slaw made with mayo.

You have any loopholes u want to share?

Luckily, that’s of no hinderance to me personally, because as I mentioned earlier, my commissary is at a liquor store and I am a daily customer already. The owners are very nice people. I figure that cleaning at the end of the day would be more pleasant with a cold adult beverage and maybe a little Jimmy Buffett!

Nightshift, If TN is like florida the commissary keeps a Log of your daily visits and as long as the Chili and Slaw is made in a licensed kitchen with a Labeled container on your cart. I believe that as Long as the chili is served @135 F. or Higher and the Slaw is Kept @ 42 F. or below in a cooler. That maybe this is the loop hole..They can only WRITE YOU UP. NOT SHUT YOU DOWN. Again thats in FL. Good Sales !!!

In my state your commisary has to sign a piece of paper daily (or when you worked) and you have to keep it on record.

Some vendors pay $75 a month for a hot dog cart, but never show up there because the place is such a wreck. They tow their carts home and clean and replenish them there. Long as a nosy neighbor doesn’t complain, that seems to be how it often works. The 75 bucks is just for a piece of paper to show the inspector.

thanks all.

davebugg, thanks for the info. quick question, what kind of folks typically rent your kitchen? caterers who do a few jobs per month?

I have concession and vending guys, and a few who are doing things like jerky, sauces, and sandwiches.

In Orlando last I checked 3 years ago it was $30/month for a MFDV. The two I checked out were disgusting though and fortunately found better alternatives.

for a mobile food comm. it is $250 a month here in los angeles, ca.
