1. 1

   Kitchen and Food Safety, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F812 in July 2019 and December 2021. This citation covers how food is stored, prepared and served. None rose above level E (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
