Rotten Food No Matter Where You Turn

2008_08_concession.jpg

An unlikely pairing of food sellers are in the news today for questions surrounding the quality of the products they're serving to New Yorkers. Local Whole Foods Markets joined in the voluntary recall of ground beef that was sold during the last two months by the high end grocer. Almost fifty people have fallen ill from potential E. coli contamination.

Meanwhile foodies are also out of luck if they're looking for snacks at the Loews in Lincoln Center where all of the concession stands have been shut down for health code violations. "It makes me sick knowing I've eaten all the food here before," said local resident Nischala Dubey. Viewers planning to ride the Pineapple Express this weekend may have to look to the nearby Food Emporium in order to nosh during their moviegoing experience.

Fine, you can get candy and whatnot at Food Emporium, but what about hot popcorn?! And Icees?!

And how about the odors. Someone will bring in hot food from one of the food carts in the street. It's bad enough they bring that junk on the busses.

"It makes me sick knowing I've eaten all the food here before,"

She needs to get a grip. If she saw how most kitchens were conducted, she would never eat out again.

don't movie theaters usually prohibit bringing in food or beverages from outside?

a bowl of kimchee would be nice to have while watching a film

Wow, I'll get to have the first $1.25 soda bottle in a movie theater in years!

So I won't need to hide my drinks and candy in my bag? But you're right, Jen. Hot popcorn is really the only appropriate movie snack.

I usually bring in a full meal in my messenger bag when I go to the movies.

I usually find a can go a whole 90 minutes without eating.

What's a movie without popcorn?

Shouldn't there be a photo credit?

I've seen mice at a lot of theatres in the city. Not at all surprising.
