Three utensils for grill/flat tops had old peeling tape on handles - not easily cleanable, not durable smooth and non-absorbent. This is done for temperature reasons. Manager said he would remove the tape immediately from handles. Look for silicone sleeves or something similar for temperature handling as these have no seams and are non-absorbent and washable. Corrected on site. Also saw a few cracked, chipped plastic utensils. Replace these. 228.223(h) Equipment and utensil design and constructi
