Chefs aren't the only ones affected by a new food safety law
that bans culinary workers from touching certain foods with their bare
hands. Like chefs, bartenders have to wear gloves or use other utensils
to make their drinks. No touching ice, fruit garnishes or anything else
that goes directly into your glass. Changes to the California

meats and fresh fruit and vegetables. Basically, nothing that won't be
cooked or reheated before it goes out to diners can be touched with bare
hands."Technically speaking, these rules do apply to bars," says Angelica
Pappas, a spokeswoman for the California Restaurant Assn. "It’s been a
common question we’ve heard ... so there may be more information to come
on this in guidance documents from the health inspectors."...more
