WILLIAMSBURG, Ky. (WKYT) – A Chinese restaurant forced to shut its doors after getting caught with a dead deer in the kitchen. It happened Thursday afternoon at the Red Flower Chinese Restaurant in Williamsburg. “We were actually joking about the, you know, the whole Chinese restaurant. You know some rumors that you hear,” says Katie Hopkins, a customer of the Red Flower restaurant. But, Hopkins and her friends never imaged what would happen next, after finishing up a buffet lunch. “Two of the workers came in wheeling a garbage can and they had a box sitting on top of it. And hanging out of the garbage can, they were trying to be real quick with it. So that nobody could see it. But there was like a tail, and a foot and leg. Sticking out of the garbage can and they wheeled it straight back into the kitchen,” adds Hopkins. Hopkins immediately called the health department to describe what she saw, “Many people eat there. A lot of locals eat there on lunch breaks and stuff. It was very disturbing. There was actually a blood trail that they were mopping up behind the garbage can.”

Paul Lawson, the environmental health inspector in Whitley County says this is the craziest thing he’s ever seen. After he arrived at the Chinese restaurant on south highway 25 West, he says the complaints proved to be true after finding roadkill in the restaurants kitchen. Lawson tells us that the owner’s son admitted to picking up a dead deer off the side of I-75 north in Williamsburg. This prompted the health department to immediately shut down business. “They said they didn’t know that they weren’t allowed to. So that makes me concerned. But maybe thy could have before. They didn’t admit to doing it before,” says Lawson.

First of all I love the cook’s excuse.  Didn’t know he couldn’t bring roadkill into the kitchen to cook and serve to people.  Was he not supposed to do that?  Pretty sure he just quoted George verbatim during his police interview.  Second of all I don’t know if Kentucky thinks they’re like too good for the rest of the union or what but they got to wake up.  This is Americanized Chinese food we’re talking about here.  Nobody knows what the fuck is in it.  Nobody knows what they’re eating.  Who is General Tsao?  What’s Mongolian beef?  What’s Chow Ho Fun?   Who knows and who cares, it tastes money so you order it.   Yeah it sucks you happened to see the roadkill delivery in real time with a trail of blood behind it, but you had to be at least a little suspicious that you were getting like 4 course lunch specials every day for $4.99.  Not exactly rocket science.
