Care for some Golden Corral dumpster ribs? A video, in which a restaurant employee shows food being stored outside by a dumpster, has gone viral.
A video that was posted on YouTube video shows a young man who says he is a longtime Golden Corral employee in Port Orange, Florida. In the two minute video, the man shows viewers racks of meat that are kept in back of the restaurant during an inspection.
In the video, he says, "Right now we're currently undergoing an inspection right now I'm walking around the building, I just left the front door. I'm walking up to the Dumpster. Apparently what my company likes to do to get ready for inspections is put their food by the Dumpsters. So, I'm outside, here's the Dumpster area, I'm walking into it right now, and this is what my company likes to do with their food for inspection."
"This hamburger meat, look at all these flies, this is disgusting, all this food, all these baby back ribs. To me, this is disgusting, this is what my company likes to do to get ready for inspection. They like to put their food by the Dumpster. I'm an employee here. I've been working here for a long time and I don't feel that this is right. I mean look at it, what do you think? Daylight, out here, Dumpster. Let me get a little closer and show you just how disgusting this is. All you can eat ribs by the Dumpster. All you can eat ribs by the Dumpster. Green bean casserole, all your patty melts, your pot roast meat, your chicken, your ham, your bacon, gravy."
The company released a statement claiming that the food was never served and the manager of that particular franchise has been fired.
"A video was recently posted showing an incident of improper food handling at our Port Orange, Florida location. None of these items were served to a single customer. All were destroyed within the hour at the direction of management," Eric Holm, a Golden Corral franchisee at Metro Corral Partners, said in a statement according to CNBC.
"Brandon Huber, the employee who made the video, participated in the disposal of the food. The following day, the father of the employee, posted an offer to sell the video for $5,000, which was not accepted," the statement continued. "The manager involved in the improper storage was terminated for failing to follow approved food handling procedures."
However Huber made a second video claiming that the food would be served to customers.
"If this is what the Golden Corral in Port Orange does, I don't want to think about what every other Golden Corral around the world does," said Huber. "My management is going to wheel it back into the coolers, after the inspection, like nothing ever happened."
