Road kill in kitchen prompts closure of KY restaurant

WILLIAMSBURG, KY (NBC) - Officials in Whitley County, Kentucky shut down a Chinese restaurant Thursday after a dead deer was discovered inside.

The incident happened at the Red Flower Chinese Restaurant in Williamsburg.

Officials say the son of the owner admitted to bringing the dead deer, which was apparently road kill, into the kitchen of the restaurant in order to clean and dress it.

When health officials found out, they immediately shut down the restaurant, and cited the son for having a white-tailed deer without a tag.

Officials say they will not allow the restaurant to re-open after an inspection proves that it has been completely cleaned and sanitized.

Customers were inside the restaurant at the time, and saw workers roll the carcass through the dining room and into the kitchen.

Those customers called the health department.

"Two of the workers came wheeling in like a garbage can and they had a box sitting on top of it," said Katie Hopkins. "And hanging out of the garbage can, like, they were trying to be real quick with it, you know so nobody could see it, but there was like a tail and a foot and a leg sticking out of the garbage can. And they wheeled it straight back into the kitchen."

There is no word on when the restaurant will re-open.

Sounds like a local seafood restaurant. Some of the kitchen staff decided it was ok to slaughter a goat
after hours. They had an E.Coli out break from it and one lady died as a result of their actions. The place
closed for about 2 years and then reopened under the same name, seems to be doing fine.

My neighbor Dave's wife was driving home when the car ahead of her hit a deer. She called Dave, who drove over, asked the fellow whose yard the deer was in if he wanted it; he said no, so Dave called the police and asked if he could take it. The police said, "Sure; we'll tell the animal people they won't have to pick it up. But you better call the Environmental Police so you won't get bagged for hunting out of season."

I came home to find the deer gutted and hanging from a tree in Dave's yard (he's a hunter), and a guy in uniform looking at it. Turns out he was from the EP; he put a tag on the deer. Dave came home and told me the story; he then took the deer up to a friend's in NH for butchering and packaging.

It's a good use for roadkill. The only trick is to get it fresh. But I can see not bringing it into your restaurant; the meat hasn't been inspected; and the hide is probably full of fleas.
