This isn’t a “pick on the Mets” posting. I could have easily titled this “Mets Citi Field Food Violations” but I didn’t think that was fair in the context of the article I am linking.
Many stadiums have reported food violations and you can scroll thru Business Insider to see what’s what.
Specific to Citi Field, Business Insider says there were 36 critical violations.
Highlighted Violations:
One food worker was spotted handling prepared food without using protective gloves or tongs.”Filth flies” found in food preparation areas.Evidence of live mice in at least three locations. Cleanliness of the employees was noted as “inadequate.”
Shark Shack here at Better Than Wright’s suffered from the same issues, although I did get rid of the mice and I’m not sure what “filth flies: are but yeah I did just grab a hot dog and put it on a bun once.
this stuff pretty much happens everywhere anyway.
last week i was at citifield, and took my kid to the family restroom. waiting for awhile, i finally saw a kitchen worker emerge w a spatula. he lookd at me and, darting back in, rinsed the spatula off in the sink, sending food particles splattering, then lfinally relinquished the faciities. this was at field level along the first base side, portly gntleman.
yum, yum
It’s New York City. Every single high occupancy has rodents and bugs. I see all these grades popping up on windows everywhere. I’ve eaten at places that have gotten B and C and I lived. It’s not really a big deal.
B and C means they weren’t bad enough to shut down. works for me.
Frankly I find the tone of you commenters disturbing. We have to make a HUGE deal about this pretty mundane story. Call up the Fan! This is a problem of “Wright put on waivers” proportions here! WON’T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!
please, fans with children can’t afford to go to baseball games.
Mouse dropping are actually what turns a Shake Shack vanilla shake into a black and white shake. True story.
