July 25 · owner report published on the website

July 25, 2025 at 10:54 p.m., as displayed in the published email copy. Kyle to DSHS Food Complaints, with agency staff copied.

Kyle reports thawed hushpuppies in the morning, elevated display-case readings during an evening visit, products remaining for sale, visible dust/ceiling debris, and earlier roof-debris reports.

Selected owner-report summary. These are reported observations, not DSHS findings. Case-air/display temperatures are distinct from measured food-core temperatures; the reports do not establish the internal temperature of every product or that every claimed condition persisted until September 22. Other customer/employee details and unsupported legal/intent conclusions are omitted.
