10/20/2015Routine
Received a complaint on 10/9/2015 that a mother and her daughter both became sick after eating a steak and cheese sub.
I conducted a routine inspection. The only violation I found that could contribute to a possible foodborne illness was some foods in the sandwich prep cooler that were at improper cold holding temperatures. I informed the person in charge that all potentially hazardous foods must be held at 41 F or below.
No other complaints have been received. I can not confirm customers' illnesses were a result of eating at this establishment.

No violation noted during this evaluation.
