    The following items have been corrected since the last inspection: - Thermometers are in all cold holding units. - Cutting boards have been replaced. - Lids for make up units are properly stored. - Non food contact surfaces have been cleaned.The paint on the refrigerator handles below the salad bar is due within 30 days of original inspeciton.
