Yeah, but that was Kemo. He's gone now.

I heard that the Panthers have already hired a new food management company that is supposed to "fix" all this.

Time Warner Arena was worse than BOA I think and they released a statement saying they would look into it.

The news interviewed a guy (a fan) at the Intimidators game in Kannapolis about this and he said "If I pay a premium price of $5 for Nachos I expect it to be good and at least not make me sick." Found that humorous for some reason. I didn't kow Nachos had a premium price.

Correction... Standing near panthro or meat after they have ate at a panthers tailgate can kill you...

[Brooklyn Bully]

Wow, remind me never to go to a Tampa Bay Rays or Washington Wizards/Caps game and eat.

[Wither]

Does this mean everything is half price now at the bad vendors?

Yes. Now you can get an order of nachos and a beer for just $25!

The majority of these kinds of violations happen at almost all restaurants. The difference is that most restaurants have the luxury of noticing when some stranger is wandering around their kitchen, so certain infractions, such as eating on the line or having your drink without a lid on, can be hidden for the time. Vendors at major venues don't have such luxury, an inspector can stand anywhere near the counter amongst hundreds of patrons and see almost everything going on inside the booth.

I wish it was that way everywhere. Being in the restaurant business I know what kind of things can go on and it makes you really think before you eat at a place. I always go to the bathroom and check it first. If its not clean then its time to go...

Why do you eat in the bathroom? :confused:

[Panthers_Lover]

I knew a woman who did restaurant inspections. She said the same thing as SFGF ... if the bathroom's dirty, then the kitchen is dirty. It's a sign of how they value (or don't) sanitary conditions.

If I find a hair in my food at a restaurant, I straight out refuse to piss in their bathroom later.
