Additional Comments

Permit posted and good through 10/31/24.
VDH QR code sign reminding customers they can ask to see most recent inspection is posted at point of sale.
Asked owner who are the members of Bistro Bros, Q Deli, LLC, and he stated that the only one is himself - Bernet Revely.
Asked if either Cupid's BBQ or son's mobile unit are storing any food or supplies at establishment - Owner states not at this time. Occasionally will keep fries in freezer. Discussed that any foods that are not for his establishment need to be clearly labeled for other businesses.
There was a deep fat fryer that had chicken wings - stated for employees. This is not located under a hood. Owner states he was told in the past and had paperwork that these did not require a hood. Told him to have that paperwork or something from Firer Marshall in the establishment stating this, or take these fryers home.
Owner states that pork butts (like those in walk-in) are still being cooked in oven.
