Are Kosher Food Inc's practices too treif for the Mets? After a Brooklyn judge ruled that it was not his place to interpret rabbinical law, the Mets and Kosher Foods Inc have taken their battle to Federal court. Kosher Foods Inc says that they're entitled to serve glatt kosher food every day of the week at Citi Field, while the Mets argue that serving food on Friday nights and Saturdays violates the Sabbath. Because if there's one thing the Mets are experts on, it's religious law.
Brooklyn U.S. Magistrate Andrew Carter said there was "no need for concern" when a Kosher Foods Inc lawyer commented on his blue and orange tie as a possible sign that he was siding with the Mets. Kosher Foods argued that in their 10-year contract with the Mets they can sell food whenever they want. But Mets lawyer Avery Mehlman says the company should be taking up their argument with Citi Field's concessionaire Aramark Food Service Corp, not the team. "The Mets can litigate many things right now and this is not the most important thing," he said. "The season is coming up...Let's settle the matter." Kosher Foods is also crying conspiracy, saying the team won't divulge their relationship with Aramark and Nathan's hot dogs. Whatever they decide, is Citi Field serving Passover Coke?
