Touchdown Wings scores 49 in Decatur health check

A Decatur wing restaurant received a failing grade from DeKalb County health officials last week.

Touchdown Wings scored 49 points and an unsatisfactory rating on Oct. 23. The report detailed several critical violations. Dirty dishes were stored with clean ones. Food scraps were found in the handwashing sink. An employee touched their mouth and then handled food on the grill.

Manager Peter Ouyang addressed the incident with a brief apology. He described the behavior of one staff member as a crazy thing that happened while the inspector was present. Ouyang stated that the staff member was the one responsible for the actions. He did not provide further details on the specific nature of the violation. When asked if the issues were fixed, Ouyang confirmed they were corrected.

The restaurant did not post the failing report on its wall at the time of the visit. Ouyang acknowledged the corrections made by saying simply that they did the work. He reiterated the fix twice to emphasize completion.

Other local establishments received high marks during the same reporting period. Zeus Greek Street Food in Atlanta earned 96 points and an A on a reinspection. Antique Caffe in Johns Creek achieved a perfect 100 score. This marks the third consecutive perfect score for that location. Antique Caffe operates as an antique shop with a cafe inside, serving food while customers browse items dating back to the 1800s.
