[Sca-cooks] Potentially dumb food safety question

[euriol]

I just want to add when I go in a kitchen to cook a feast, I thoroughly
wipe down all the surfaces with clorox wipes, even if it looks clean before
bringing any food into those kitchen. I definitely keep a higher level of
sanitization in mind for feast cooking as opposed to home cooking.
