Met with Clay Dawson to discuss changes he has made to the kitchen and future changes. Kitchen is better, there is more prep space and the non working equipment has been removed. Discussed adding additional storage to free up the drain boards at the three compartment sink for proper dish washing and air drying.
No violation noted during this evaluation.
