Additional Comments

Not prepping for event at time of inspection. Is "not" a full-service restaurant. More of a "caterer."
Assessment of Risk - Cuurently a "2". Will keep as that. Food prepared mainly outside or at events at that time; salads may be prepped in kitchen in advance.
No permit posted but good through 4/20/23. Also, no sign informing public they can ask to see most recent inspection report. Because you are primarily a caterer, post both your permit, and a sign like VDH-QR code sign (given to Owner) in the place where you discuss menus, plans, prices with customers.
Gave owner Hepatitis A and Norovirus flyers and discussed.
Doing cooking of hamburgers, chicken outside. Would recommend you reach out to whoever fulfills role of Fire Marshall in town of Bedford to discuss what size and type of fire extinguisher you need for cooking outside at Crenshaw location as well asd other on-site events. Discussed that foods must be covered with grill cover, cooking lids, or approved Fire Marshall ceiling/overhang while cooking. Will send copy of Outdoor Cooking Guidelines to your email.
