Let's Go Blues

Here's some Vendor Inspection Reports that were featured on the ESPN website, I thought it would be interesting to post the ones for the Blues and the rest of the central division, as a small distraction for the boredom of the blues offseason.

United Center
Chicago Bulls, Chicago Blackhawks
Vendors with critical violations: 0%

Inspection report excerpt: No critical or major violations. Chicago health inspectors inspect vendors while the stadiums are empty, when no workers are preparing or serving food.

Bridgestone Arena
Nashville Predators
Vendors with critical violations: 59%

Inspection report excerpt: Nashville inspectors, who also score vendors, gave the facility's lowest score -- 75 -- to a vendor with three critical and nine non-critical violations.

Nationwide Arena
Columbus Blue Jackets
Vendors with critical violations: 9%

Inspection report excerpt: One of the stadium's critical violations was for employees' handling lemons, limes and oranges with their bare hands while placing them on beverage glasses.

Joe Louis Arena
Detroit Red Wings
Vendors with critical violations: 52%

Inspection report excerpt: Poisonous or toxic materials were stored atop items used to serve customers, posing a potential risk of contamination. Inspectors also found roaches below a soda dispenser at one location.

Scottrade Center
St. Louis Blues
Vendors with critical violations: 0%

Inspection report excerpt: No critical or major violations.

It's comforting to know that Scottrade passed with flying colors. And It comes at no surprise that Joe Louis Arena was the dirtiest of the bunch.

That explains the IQ of both Predator and Red Wing fans.

I've never been to Joe Louis, but I've heard it's a complete hole...so their piss poor cleanliness comes as no surprise.

Nationwide Arena
Columbus Blue Jackets
Vendors with critical violations: 9%

Inspection report excerpt: One of the stadium's critical violations was for employees' handling lemons, limes and oranges with their bare hands while placing them on beverage glasses.

What, like every bar in the country, anywhere? That's a pretty stupid "critical" violation if you ask me.

Now roaches- okay, now we're talking.

And yes:

Well it is Detroit after all.

..and so are cockroaches, and mice, and bacteria, ....

And, of course, no one really knows what is happening in Chicago since they do not bother inspecting when food is actually being served
