Roadkill in Chinese restaurant, oh deer.
Oh Deer, stomachs turned at a Chinese restaurant in Kentucky last week when during a buffet lunch, customers noticed a rubbish bin full of roadkill being wheeled into the kitchen. Locals and regulars of the Red Flower Restaurant in Williamsburg couldn't believe their eyes as they watched employees pushing a clumsily concealed deer carcass through the dining room as it dripped blood all over the floor. In a useless attempt to avoid unwanted attention, the men had tried to hide the dead animal, but to all watching, the shocking truth was plain to see. Stag-gering, there was like a tail, and a foot and leg sticking out of the garbage can. Bad ‘game’-plan maybe with ‘hind’-sight they should have used the back door. After one quick-thinking diner called the health authorities, an inspector arrived to investigate and was amazed to hear the restaurant owner telling him that he didn't know he wasn't allowed to pick up roadkill. Red Flower regular, Tonya Thacker admitted she vomited straight away after witnessing the gut-wrenching scene. 'I don't think I'll ever eat Chinese food again,' she said. Marveling at the irony with disgust Ms Hopkins said 'We were actually joking about the, you know, the whole Chinese restaurant. You know some rumors that you hear.' There was actually a blood trail that they were mopping up behind the garbage can. Though the restaurant does not face any fines, many customers will no doubt stay clear of the Chinese eatery in the future. Typical business owner looking for ways to save a buck!Don't forget to post a comment at Mollie & Alfies' to be spookified. Who is in the Spooky Gallery (last tab on the right) Today?
I think that would put most people off their lunch!
ReplyDeleteYuck!!
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
I wouldn't mind it... But I'm a dog. Don't think the peeps (with their week stomachs) would like it!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, even though I am Chinese and I love Chinese food. Most of These restaurant owners are real cheapskates!!!!
ReplyDeleteExcuse us while we gag...Ugh. Whatever were they thinking?
ReplyDeleteEeeek that picture is spookly, you scared us. I have a good friend who is Chinese and he will never eat in Chinese resteraunts. He says he doesnt trust them
ReplyDeleteurban hounds
Yuk!...think I've just become a vegi !
ReplyDeleteOh no! My peeps just had Chinese last night! GROSS!
ReplyDeleteLovies, Miss Mindy
That is pretty gross, but believe it or not, there are actually laws on the books in some states as to whether or not one may take home their deer if they hit it with their car. In most cases it is legal to take your roadkill home for butchering, but at least you know it is fresh if you hit it yourself.
ReplyDeleteUgh, I heard this news story!!
ReplyDeleteBon appetite :o)but anyway, I love chinese food...
ReplyDeleteteeeheee...OH MIZ MOLLY, no matter what state you are in, you never fail to ENCHANT US and also, PLAY the part....OH DEAR, MY WORD, YOUR PHOTO!!!!!! YOU ARE WICKEDLY FRIGHTENING MY "DEER"!

ReplyDeleteNora
Hey Molly!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'd normally eat just about any meat, but BLECH! Peeps are not amused about this sort of thing. I'm sure they won't be "hoof"in' it on over there anytime soon. Amazing there are no fines for that... jaywalk and they'll get you, but feed people roadkill and it's just a warning! BOL
BTW: Love the spookifications!
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, COP
Blegh! Oh my Dog, we don't know which is funnier, reading about the Chinese restarant or that picture of you Molly - we love it!
ReplyDeleteDip Bridge and Elliot x
Yuck.
ReplyDeleteOh no!! that is frightening, BOL
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Oh my gosh, Molly! That picture of you has Wrigs quaking in his booties!
ReplyDeleteHe thinks it's very progressive of that restaurant to "recycle" road kill. Not only would he be happy to eat it, he might even roll in it!
Thanks for adding Wrigs to the Spooky Gallery! I must say, I'm not sure I'll ever be comfortable turning my back on him again! ;-)
Susan and Wrigs

So weird?!? Why in the world would they pick up road kill to be served? What if the deer had some disease?
ReplyDeleteWe love Chinese restaurants... but that's just plain ignorance.
Huggies and Cheese,
Haopee
Well, that does it, I'm never eating Chinese again (very, very sad as I rather like it). What a horrific story and, you say, no fine for the owner? I'm sure he's lost a lot of business though!!!
ReplyDeleteOk, internet still playing up so, second attempt at commenting. Basically just horrified and won't eat chinese for a while now! Can' believe the owner doesn't even get fined!!
ReplyDeleteEWWWWWWWWWWWW....that's all we has to say. just ...EWW!
ReplyDeleteOMD that is just so totally disgusting! I can't believe they didn't get shut down! Note to self...no more chinese food until I look in their bins ;)
ReplyDeleteWaggin at ya,
