AT&T Center food vendors with critical violations

Well it's decidedly not funny to me. I mean if I want to put in my 2 cents on a topic, I have to wait around until someone else brings it up. Thank God someone mentioned the deal with the headbands today.

Yeah a Michael Jackson joke was really necessary. You're proving your worth with every post.

Sorry. I was just killing time while I waiting for the headband conversation to develop.

I dunno. I'm typically not a fan of cantthinkofanything's ANYTHING, but the fly joke, the MJ joke, and his inability to do MUCH of "anything" had me rollin in this thread.

Obviously, they found no bats at the AT&T Center...

[rjv]

72% of the vendors at jerry world were cited. 8.00 for a hot dog that is not at the right temp. very nice.

[noles1983]

oddly enough, this story is making me crave a hot dog...mmmmmm

[Trill Clinton]

Glad I never paid for any food at the center...its not surprising though...I wonder if behind the kitchen door will do a segment on it.

[Ditty]

the hamburgers on the rich level look so good i cant eat during spurs games cuz i get too nervous

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Who eats freakin hotdogs anyway? Do you know what is in them?

I find it bitterly ironic that people are worried about food code violations but not the horrendously poor nutritional value of the food that is served (which contributes to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc), nor about the fact that it is all presented in "disposable" packaging with absolutely no thought to recycling. The world is ing insane.

Spurfans, at the AT&T Center, is the food there ridiculously expensive?

Yes

[Horry For 3!]

I've never ate there, only drank beer so I should be good.

Stupid. When someone goes to a game and gets a hot dog, it doesn't indicate much about their diet for the other 99.99% of the time. In fact, the majority of people that eat hot dogs as part of their regular diet probably don't go to many Spurs games.

"Bitterly Ironic"????? WTF.

As long as the beer is cold, fresh, and $15 it's cool.

I saw the ESPN report about this and all the stadiums. The hidden camera video at Tropicana Field was nasty - rotting meat, raw meat dripping on cooked meat that was being served, etc.

According to a report from ESPN's Outside the Lines, a vendor inspection report was done among NBA teams and the AT&T Center, home of the San Antonio Spurs, scored among the worst in the NBA when it comes to food violations.

AT&T Center
San Antonio Spurs
Vendors with critical violations: 48%
Inspection report excerpt: Inspectors found 18 pounds of hot dogs that had expired more than 10 days prior.

Granted this is bad but it could be worse. The Denver Nuggets had violations for phorid flies, sometimes called coffin flies, in a bottle of cognac.

So the next time you are at a Spurs game, you want to rethink buying that hot dog.

No wonder Bonner and Jefferson couldnt take off last season



Now they have no excuse

Can't be worse than Hemisfair Arena. They had this nasty-ass pizza there that would make me puke half the time I ate it when I was a kid. The burgers weren't any better, so I eventually learned to never eat anything at games.

I wish I had seen this thread before we went to Fiesta Texas this past weekend.

It would explain some things about the burgers we got.

Saw it too Kori... the story the guy told about the guy cutting himself and bleeding into the soup, then just wanting to scoop the blood out was disgusting.

[E-RockWill]

I personally wouldn't eat or drink anything on the plaza or balconey levels. Get your beer from a guy that's walking around.

I was sitting down to dinnner when they aired that segment and I almost immediately lost my appe e. I had to change the channel and watch something like Criminal Minds just to numb the disgusting feeling I had. I've never had a problem @ Staples with any questionable food, but I tend to stick with nachos and pizza there (It is one of the few places that I spoil myself and violate my caloric intake). However, I did get a moldy bun with a hot dog @ Chavez Ravine aka Dodger Stadium. It was most certainly a shock and grossed me out that I rarely buy anything worthwhile at Dodger Stadium.
