Serious · real illness risk
Cutting boards and surfaces not sanitized
Dirty food-contact surfaces can spread germs between foods, so this one matters for safety.

Currently 97, a clean A, from an owner-requested re-inspection. But a surprise visit scored 82, the worst issue being food not cooled down quickly enough. Worth a closer look, since the re-check was owner-requested, not a surprise.
