Additional Comments


I was told that they swith the broccoli and lettuce every 20 minutes. I recommend that they used time as a public health so they can continue to leave broccoli and lettuce on counter so they wont be written up for improper cold holding. I left time as a public health sheet and explained how it works.




Please pay for permit at 1826 sycamore view rd within 24-49 hours.
