The Cook Hub, located at 1804 Columbia Drive, Decatur, received a 63 on the check Nov. 20, according to the inspector's report.
Thomas Pursaud, whose sister opened the restaurant about a month ago, said the re-inspection will do better.

Chemicals were stored with food products and cooking items.
Raw turkeys were thawing in the vegetable sink.
