Don't eat at Wrigley...

[R_Mac_1]

Just saw this on the Yahoo front page.

Wrigley Field is home to a new tenant this summer, but Chicago baseball fans probably don't wanna hear about it.

Black slime was found in the ice machine at the "Cub House" concession stand by city health inspectors.

CBS 2 Chicago reports that out of 35 concessions, inspectors found 20 critical violations at nine booths. Three booths were shut down after failing their inspection.

A staggering 57.1 percent of Wrigley Field concession stands had food violations good enough to earn an "F" according to health safety expert Kantha Shelke.

For example, the Italian sausage stand failed its examination after it failed to keep its meat hot enough.

More than 24 pounds of hot dogs, sausages and hamburgers had to be trashed from five different concession areas, according to city inspection results.

Chicago city health department officials changed their policy of only checking stadium food on non-game days. Now, they are looking at kitchens on game days when fans are actually eating the ballpark food.

Appalling Food Safety Violations At Wrigley Field | ThePostGame

When I first saw the headline "Ballpark's scary food issues" I thought "please don't be Wrigley..." and sure enough it was.

 

[Mr. Cub]

Wow the food is as bad as Cubs baseball this year. Nice.

 

[bleacherbum54]

yuck I hate there a few times this year uke:

 

[cubsneedmiracle]

Little more than I thought but let's be real.. Most stadiums aren't the best place to be eating.

Who cares? Theres so many violations made on a daily basis by restaurants you eat daily or even in your own house and we all end up being ok. Many restaurants get heads up calls on inspectors so they quickly clean up and follow the rules until the inspectors walk out of the door. Sucks for those people who get caught, but, this happens daily, and not only at Wrigley Field. And it will continue to happen at Wrigley Field once the inspectors leave.

I never eat at Wrigley whenever I'm at a Cubs game anyways

You must not drink enough if you don't get the munchies...

 

[Mr. Cub]

I think you have beer confused with something else.... Haha

The day they got rid of the calzone is the day I stopped eating there.

The decision to replace it with the crappy personal pizza is easily the most vile decision in Cubs history.

But hey, atleast they have lights above the stalls now so I don't have to sit in darkness. Soo, I guess theres that.

 

[HeavyD]

Who cares?

I do, food poisoning was probably the worst 40 hours of my life

I somethimes eat there, but when I go back and I decide to get something, this wouldn't stop me.

 

[daddies3angels]

when i go to ballgame i atleast eat 2 hotdogs. Just tradition

 

[waldo7239117]

Yeah I'll get an hotdog, I don't see anything wrong with that.

 

[Uman85]

Yikes! Only been to Wrigley once, but I ate at the Cubby Bear before heading inside. Looks like that was a pretty good decision. The beer was good though.

 

[nwfisch]

You only live once.

 

[Deng Defense Force]

Whoa...you use the stalls?.

I like to live dangerously.

Only used them 2 or 3 times, but atleast 1 of the times I spent soo much time carefully lying layer upon layer of toilet paper over the seat by the time I was ready to sit down I didn't have to go anymore.

So I guess that cuts it down to 1 or 2 times.
