Report: Royals And Chiefs Concessions Are Disgusting, Unhygienic Mess

[listopencil]

The Royals Are Serving Fans Moldy Garbage Hot Dogs




The picture you see above, via KCTV 5, was snapped by a Royals fan who attended Friday’s game at Kaufman Stadium. That first, not entirely revolting hot dog is what was available to fans who wanted to pay normal prices for food. That pallid tube of, uh, meat (?) that’s been stuffed into some sort of molecularly compromised bread product is what fans who wanted to take advantage of Dollar Hot Dog Night were given. This is bad—and disgusting!

This bad, disgusting food was all over the stadium on Friday.

This is the kind of @Aramark product that is routinely found at @Royals and @KCChiefs games.

Report: Royals And Chiefs Concessions Are Disgusting, Unhygienic Mess

This food was prepared by Aramark, the concessions company that inexplicably has a contract at Kaufman Stadium despite having been busted just a few months ago for selling rotten horror food to fans. Take heed, Kansas City sports fans! Your favorite team is actively trying to poison you.




Were you one of those fans fortunate enough to see the Royals' magical postseason run in person, or perhaps you're a loyal Chiefs supporter? If so good for you, but it means you probably ate some mold or rodent shit.

According to an Outside the Lines investigation, Aramark—which has the concessions contracts at both Kauffman and Arrowhead stadiums—has terrible food hygiene practices in those stadiums. Among the allegations brought to OTL by an Aramark whistleblower were:

Cockroaches in vending areas, mouse feces on the same tray as pizza dough, sinks where employees were supposed to wash their hands being blocked by boxes or trash, employees eating in food prep areas and trays of food headed for customers that measured at unsafe temperatures.

Jon Costa, Aramark's district food safety manager, brought the violations to OTL's attention after he says he spent months trying to get Aramark senior management to do something about them, to no avail. Aramark officials—who have placed Costa on paid administrative leave—dispute that claim:

"The random collection of isolated and questionable photographs that the employee distributed represents selective snapshot 'moments-in-time' that without proper context can support any number of conclusions."
In addition to contacting OTL, on November 3rd Costa sent an e-mail to the health department, which immediately sent inspectors to both stadiums. What they found was "shocking", according to health department division manager Naser Jouhari. Despite the fact that there were no events that day at either venue—meaning the food stands weren't operating and should've just been clean and mostly empty—the inspectors found 37 critical violations, and 20 of the 26 stands examined had some violation.

All of the violations have since been corrected, but if you're heading to this weekend's four throwgasm game against the Seahawks, we suggest you eat at home beforehand.

I don't know, but I do know that hot dogs are really cheap to put together. It doesn't even take much to go from frozen dog/bun to ready-to-eat. You've got to be incompetent or apathetic to **** up a hot dog.

It amazes me how that ****ing company is still in business.
They have several big contracts and somehow they STILL have the business.

****ing should be fired...immediately.

Hah, I just realized that this is the same company that provides uniform laundry service for our facility.

Yeah but does their stuff come with maggots or do you have to pay extra for that?

For decades they used a company called Volume Services. They should go back to them. Their hot dogs were edible. I've hated the hot dogs the last few years at Royals Stadium, even before I heard about these stories.

I never buy regular concessions, if I eat sonething its from an actual vender that was brought in.

It's a competitive advantage. Boosts the immune systems of fans so they are at full strength during cold-weather playoff games.
