Anyone who has been to PBS knows how patheticly awful the food is, but who knew food in Cincinnati could also be filthy?

<!--startindex-->CINCINNATI -- Bengals fans enjoy greasy food and cold beer as part of their game-day celebrations, but News 5's Juliette Vara uncovered numerous health-code violations on the part of food vendors at Paul Brown Stadium.
One inspector reported that he "observed a food employee filling up the container used for hot chocolate in the mop sink."
Dale Grigsby, of the Cincinnati Health Department, said that's just one of dozens of problems his team found at the stadium.
"It's inherently a dirty operation," Grigsby said. <TABLE class=storyAd cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=storyAdObj>
A recurring problem was food kept at dangerous temperatures. A report said that one station had hamburgers at 120 degrees and sausages at 125 degrees -- the items must be kept at 135 degrees.
Other stations, though, were far worse, inspectors found. One station was keeping hotdogs at 100 degrees, another at just 88 degrees, reports said.
"You don't want to see that," Grigsby said.
An inspector also found an employee eating at the pizza-making sandwich block -- which could result in direct contamination.
"It's imperative that we see some substantial improvement," Grigsby said.
Aramark, the company responsible for running food services at the stadium, said the violations that were found during the inspection are being addressed and will be fixed by the next event.
Grigsby said, if they aren't, he could shut down the vendor.
"If you have to do it, you have to do it," he said.
