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.

waiter: "it's nothing, it's an lizard doing the hula dance..

I don’t see what the problem was...really.

Thing was dead, it’s now food for me or the bugs.

Let me salt and pepper the thing or flavor is with whatever rub and herbs I choose.

Seems stupid to waste the thing.

Or let me cook it up and give it to the homeless. Seems like a reasonable use of my time and someone goes to bed on a full stomach.

The Chinese themselves say that a Chinaman will eat anything with four legs but a table.

It would do a lot of folks some good to have to kill and cut up their own food. Black powder season opened last week and I welcomed the waste that the big horn shooters didnt want. There is no better meat than grain fed venison

I would have to pass on the road kill cafe unless I witnessed the impact. But even that depends on how hungry I am.

What is in the mint? Cyanide? I ate one of your children. Am not going to play.

Ahhh...the pleasures of a socialist (communist) economy!

Always order shrimp... No matter how you prep a cat, dog or deer you can’t make it look like a shrimp!!

[no-to-illegals]

Not sure about that. Once that lizard was fried up, it looked sort-of shrimpy.

[WorksinKOP]

Ok, I can see that ;0)

My guy loves Chinese food but will not eat at Chinese resturants. We learned to fix his favorite dishes at home.

That’s because he’s diversified and been exposed to the Chinese food culture via healthcare activities that would see nothing wrong with using roadkill in an American resturant. It’s totally foreign but Americans have not a clue of what he has seen. We don’t buy any food from China...eh, Walmart and most frozen foods are out. Same with India. All ethics are not the same. When your food culture comes from the need to fill the bellies of starving and poor billions, it’s not the same. This is a major problem of globalization’s dive to the lowest common denominator. We grow must of our own vegtables. The foreign pesticides and growing conditions would curl your hair.

What you don’t know, will hurt ya. Learn to cook from scratch and learn to pick your products...not only by price but source. Grow your own veggies from seeds you trust.

"Mmmmmmmmmmm.....roadkill."

[skinkinthegrass]

Not sure about that. Once that lizard was fried up, it looked sort-of shrimpy..well???..the tail / feet will curl up / the mouth agape..

Nothing wrong with road killed deer. I have a friend in New Mexico who has a permit from the NM game warden to harvest road kill.
