What's on the menu?

PrintMaybe more than you bargained for.
As I was watching Outside the Lines this morning an enjoying my egg white omelet and coffee, I quickly lost my appetite when watching coverage of food violations at professional sport arenas nationwide. The good news is the RBC center wasn't in the very top percentile, but the bad news is they were in the second highest percentile. You can check it out on an interactive map. The take-away from the article - more tailgating.

Way to go Verizon center with mice droppings at at least 10 vendors.

Some of the vendor stations are run by booster clubs, etc trying to raise money for certain organizations… of course these people have no sanitation training. Given that fact, eat at home or tailgate. I am sure we do not read or hear 1/2 of the stories of people getting sick. How long do some of those pizzas sit on their turnstiles is a mystery… Just drink beer, it is hard to mishandle that!
I saw this myself...
But I’m willing to side with the vendors a bit on this issue. I do think it would be important to see a measure of how any places actually failed inspections or got fined, rather than getting a negative grade on a single issue out of perhaps even a hundred possibilities. Truth is, the vast majority of these “major” issues are corrected immediately when they’re pointed out. But there’s certainly room for improvement.
Advance apologies if the contents of this sports-based post offended you. I'm just aiming to educate the masses. My law professor says they're asses.

If you drill down on the interactive map on ESPN, you can pull up the Wake County records and it lists out all of the violations – minor and major. It also lists what corrective action was taken. You are correct with the assumption that “most” of the violations for the RBC center are very minor, except for a few that are worrisome.
From personal experience, I know that most violations are minor and would never actually put the customer at risk, but I also know that the restaurant “cleans up their act” a bit when the inspector is in. On the flip side, I would also say that most restaurants are safer than how I’ve seen people cook in their own homes. It all boils down to personal preference as far as risk – the same risk you take when you eat any food prepared by others.
here in the "triad"
There are many of the same concerns there in Wake county…there is also a local news station that does publish mant of the local resturants inspections 7 ratings..along with what as found and what corrections were made & etc…yep, we as fans do have to be aware…butNOT totaly “paranoid”…Thanks for the PSA !!
And if it Aint Hockey,It Aint Nothin !!
