billsrcursed Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Saw this on Outside The Lines yesterday. Some pretty gross stuff, but you'd be a fool to think otherwise I guess. There was one "recollection" of a guy who cut his finger real bad over some soup, and figured it would be ok to just scoop the blood off the top, leaving the rest to be served. Yum. That's why I try and stick to the beer and maybe some popcorn/nachos. Anything cooked and you're gambling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 I'm glad I didn't get any food when I went to all three of the arenas/stadiums in Detroit back in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Has anyone noticed Regier heading down to Florida to cheer on the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field? The park had vendors with 100% critical violations. It does correlate with his brain activity to get things done. Poor Regier is not in good health.

FogBat Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I think I better go to any major future sporting event on a full stomach before I show up at the arena - regardless of where it is. Better safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric in Akron Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I think Long Islanders and folks in Chicago know how to bribe health officials. Or is it that health officials in those areas are prone to bribes? Nassau Coliseum got perfect marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I think Long Islanders and folks in Chicago know how to bribe health officials. Or is it that health officials in those areas are prone to bribes? Well, at least with respect to Chicago, the methodology was flawed: all inspections were conducted while the stadiums were closed, when there were no workers present, much less preparing food.

bunomatic Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'm not sure the same disgusting results wouldn't be found in most mall food courts or fairgrounds or streetvendors or fast food restaraunts or dare I say it,sports bars that serve food. Statistics show that about 60% of people don't even wash their hands after using the bathroom and that includes the food workers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FogBat Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Nassau Coliseum got perfect marks. Nassau Coliseum is also not inside NYC jurisdiction. Not sure if Nassau County has uber-stringent regulations or not, but it sure is interesting that they received perfect marks over their counterparts some 40-50 miles away. The one thing that has crossed my mind is this: just how safe is our food in someone else's hands? It doesn't matter if it's being served at an arena or in a restaurant, because there are some sit-down restaurants that barely get by in their food safety inspections. Not to mention how many times the back door where deliveries are made are opened and closed dozens of times a day, making it the perfect opportunity for vermin and other critters to get inside. Just ask Remy from Ratatouille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet, people are not dying or even getting sick on any sort of widespread basis. My philosophy is to just let it go and whatever doesn't kill me makes my immune system stronger. It's a lot easier that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECHL Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I don't buy stadium food. It is too much money and tastes like paper. The last thing I bought at HSBC was hot chocalate. I think it was 3.50 and it was hot water and swiss miss envelope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I don't buy stadium food. Same here. There are enough options near the arena; I eat beforehand and maybe after. Same with Bills games (when I actually go); my friends' grills are usually a ###### of a lot better than whatever is served inside. Actually, I don't think I ever have eaten inside The Ralph. Don't think I ever will, not that the name of the stadium has anything to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
