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.

Venison is good. As long as the meat is good whats wrong? Its not like it was a 4 day old cat or opossum scraped up off the road.

Thats reserved for the Saturday buffet.

Lawson tells us that the owner's son admitted to picking up a dead deer off the side of I-75 north in Williamsburg.

We don't know how long the deer was lying on the side of the road. I commute to Madison each day. I see what happens to roadkill deer over a very shot time. It ain't pretty. Maggots, anyone?

After eating breakfast this A.M., am missing a lizard that was in the house. Maybe the restaurant has him or has already served him up.

[driftdiver]

Just add a little more garlic, gives the maggots a little tang.

But seriously is this really a shock to anyone?

[skinkinthegrass]

how could you tell? ...just a wittle (elmer fund :) gamey?

Obummer always prefers to eat roadkill dog at his fav restaurant, “Ba Fam Goo”

[skinkinthegrass]

[Dr. Sivana]

But seriously is this really a shock to anyone?

Well, kinda. You see, the way the Chinese tend to cook meat would make the venison tough and chewy, and I imagine they would ty to pass it off as chopped pork in those dishes that have the tiny chopped pork.

Also, I thought they were happy to kill the meat, but didn't actually go for roadkill. The ducks in the pond at the old folks home would be in danger, but the road kill possum would be picked up by some relatives of the Clampetts.

if I goofed and ate the lizard, at least I didn’t have to pay menu price.
