Fenway Foul

A Patriot Ledger article titled, LEDGER EXCLUSIVE: The ICK factor at Fenway, written by Karen Eschbacher on April 11, has revealed several health food violations at the beautifuly renovated Fenway Park. These violations, cited during the 2005 season, included the following according to the Patriot Ledger:

"Rodent droppings and fruit flies; Cheese, burgers, potato salad and other food not maintained at the right temperature; Lack of proper access to handwash sinks."

I guess none of the accusations, true or not, were any more shocking than seeing David Wells get walloped last night. But with the Red Sox in the midst of their first homestand of the season, and with hockey season coming to a disappointing end for the Bruins, and with my 21st birthday in the near future, trips to Fenway Park may become the usual. And if I do begin to frequent Fenway, I may be more cautious with the food for more than just financial reasons.

But the Fenway Faithful should not fret. Aramark, the company large and in charge of Fenway’s concession stands and restaurants, has reported all of last year's issues to be non-issues this year. And one would have to believe that at a venue like Fenway Park and hopefully any venue, serious health violations would not stand once discovered.

One way or another, I still prefer my soft serve at the Bruins to any fabled frank (below, the color your face may turn next time).
