VENICE, FL — Multiple food and beverage outlets at CoolToday Park, the spring training home for the Atlanta Braves located at 18800 W. West Villages Parkway in Venice, racked up state health inspection violations March 2, according to state reports. Of the nine food and beverage sites reviewed at the ballpark, four didn't meet state health inspection standards. The four "delinquent" outlets at CoolToday Park include a hot dog, sausage and fries outlet; a hot dog, sausage and tiki bar; the kitchen bar pantry; and the clubhouse kitchen, All four outlets were operating with expired state Division of Hotels and Restaurants licenses, which Florida considers to be a high-priority violation that requires a follow-up visit. This was a repeat violation for the clubhouse kitchen and the tiki bar. Though the state considers the status of the tacos and burritos outlet, and the observation tower at the ballpark as "current," rather than "delinquent," they also received a high-priority violation for operating with an expired license March 2. The hot dog, sausage and fries outlet; hot dog, sausage and tiki bar; kitchen bar pantry; and clubhouse kitchen also received various intermediate- and basic-level violations. Other eateries at the ballpark, including a barbecue outlet, and a beer and popcorn outlet, were cited for only minor complaints during the March 2 inspection and are in good standing. Patch contacted CoolToday Park and the Atlanta Braves for comments and have so far received no response.
