goodbyeohio,
Do you have an alternate solution for making Mexican beer palatable?

I think sooner rather than later, we the people of NYC will be forced to protest the DOH en masse to let them know we are tired of their abusive tactics towards our bars and restaurants. This kind of stuff is getting completely out of hand. While I agree that fruit in beer is not very yummy, I find it abhorrent to require bartenders, pizza guys and sandwich makers to wear latex gloves.

...and latex particles will make it taste better?

We warned you when they came for the smokers that food would be next! The nanny state is coming for you.

I saw this on the news this morning, and was truly shocked. I spent 15 years as a bartender here in NYC, and I can tell you right now that if I'd had to stop for protective handgear everytime I garnished a drink, no one would ever have gotten served.
There must be some sort of flaw in this logic, though. After all, the chefs in the kitchen of the restaurants where these bars are located are not, for the most part, wearing latex gloves. So, where does the line get drawn?

An enterprising entrepreneur should work on a bar robot, à la an auto-assembly line machine, that can mix drinks. Between pours, it could dip its "hands" in boiling water for sterilization before lime-ing a drink.

i've heard about this - it's insane? is it OK to put fruit wedges on glasses? klg19 raises an interesting point. seems like a bit of a double standard.
