Ooops, left off the rest of the article:
‘’They were backed up to the restaurant door with that dead deer in that car they use for delivery,” the witness said.
Police turned the case over to the Cabarrus County Health Department.
“We went there and found, indeed, they had slaughtered a deer, or were cutting up a dead deer in the back of the parking lot and had already brought parts inside, into the sink,” County Health Director William Pilkington said.
Channel 9 caught up with the restaurant owner Sunny Chen on Wednesday who said he was the one driving the Versa in the photos that a viewer sent in.
“I asked somebody if I could eat deer from the side of the road. He said OK,” Chen said. “But maybe it’s not okay to bring it to the restaurant, so that’s my mistake.”
Those strip mall chinese slop shops are the first jobs for most uneducated, peasant chinese immigrants who either legally or illegally make it into the USA. So don’t be surprised if their hygiene standards, cheapness and slack operating methods will be those you would find in rural China.
Waste not want not.
Well it’s certainly a step up from the usual cat.
Yeah, taking road kill to a restaurant is pretty bad. My husband was leaving the cattle auction barn one time and he saw several oriental men cutting up a calf that they had just bought at the auction. They obviously had killed it right there in the parking lot and were cutting it up in the trunk of their car.
Road kill is worse.
I’d hate to find a lug-nut in my Chinese sausage or noodles.
My Sister and BIL spend a good part of each year in Europe. Last year was in Hungary which they describe as the most beautiful country in Europe.
Anyway she told me that just about every restaurant serves venison. I suppose they farm raise it.
As my grandfather told the state police (with a very thick French accent) as he butchered a deer he’d hit with his car, “But she is good meat, no? Why let it go to waste?”
The Chinese themselves have a saying that a Chinaman will eat anything with four legs but a table.
Hold my beer and watch this ping!
About 15 years ago we had just moved to Sacramento from San Jose. My wife and I decided to try a Chinese restaurant in a strip mall near our house. The food wasn’t very good. The vegetables were old, wilty and fried in too much oil. We didn’t finish our meal, paid, left and didn’t go back.
About a month later we read that the Sacramento Health Dept had shut down the Chinese restaurant. It seems the owners had been observed going behind the supermarket in the strip mall and picking vegetables out of the supermarket trash, taking them back to their restaurant and serving them. Gak.
We’ve since learned how to make really good Kung Pao Chicken, Lemon Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork, Pork Fried Rice and Hot and Sour Soup from scratch at home.
Now I want some Chinese food. Guess I will have to wait till tomorrow.
Bring on the cat meat!
Something I posted to FR almost ten years ago...

MENTOR, Ohio — Animal cruelty charges have been filed against two men after a goat is found tied up at a Mentor restaurant, NewsChannel5 reported.
Police say they got a tip call Tuesday that the goat was being held, hog-tied, behind the Grand Buffet Restaurant, along with 13 caged pigeons.
Police arrested 30-year-old Yu Zheng, of Geneva, and 35-year-old He En Liu, of Macon, Ga.
The Lake County Humane Society now has the goat as the animal recovers.
The humane society’s Candance Hertzel says it is very unusual for them to get calls about farm animals.
It is not known why the men were keeping the animals captive.
Someone has already volunteered to take the pigeons as pets.
The Lake County Health Department is also conducting an investigation.
As a follow up, while not in the article, I recall that the folks in question said they were keeping the animals as pets. Yea. Right.
Interesting thread that inspired the post here...

So what? Deer is good eating and as long as the deer was freshly killed, and handled in a way as not to dirty up the kitchen, it just makes sense to use it.
Those thrifty Chinese!
