Up to Code?

I had to prepare a form for the Health Department to get certificates for our concession stands for the 4 home meets.  I needed to tell them the kind of foods we would be serving, how they are being prepared, are they being prepared on site, and I even had to sketch the venue!  Sketch the venue!  Like where are the garbage cans, the washing stations, the tables and chairs, the refrigeration, argh!!  Betcha didn’t know THAT, huh?  And of course, I’m nervous that I screwed something up, that we won’t get the proper permission, and then I have to deal with the wrath of the WDOL cabinet.  Last year there was some glitch, but I honestly blocked it out of my mind, and I don't remember what the issue was.  Anyhoo- hopefully all will turn out fine and we can stuff our faces with pulled pork, meatball parmesan grinders, fish tacos, tuna mac and cheese, curry, borscht, bratwurst and sauerkraut, escargot in garlic butter, shepherd's pie, goulash, sushi and spanakopita.  Now that's a concession stand! Bon appetit!
