11/20/2015InspectionComment: No actual bare hand contact was observed. However, cook was able to see inspector coming, through serving window. Cook was putting on gloves just as inspector rounded corner and was able to view kitchen from doorway. The use of barrier or utensil on ""ready to eat"" food is likely the primary critical control point involved with the food preparation at subject facility. The only hot holding is soup made daily.

No michigans are served.
