Restaurant Shuts Down After Shocking Video Of Employees Grilling Rat Goes Viral

We are no stranger to stories of foreign objects and obnoxious things being found in meals at restaurants all over the world. While worms, lizards, and roaches are some common creatures that have been caught previously, a Hawaii-based burger chain was caught cooking a rat.

And we are not even kidding.

In a sheerly disgusting incident that will make you go yuck, the employees at the Teddy’s Bigger Burgers restaurant chain in Hawaii, were found grilling a rat at the eatery. To be exact, two of its employees were seen flipping the dead animal on the grill stove top with a spatula.

The video which has now gone viral was posted on SnapChat a few days ago. The horrifying video had such a huge impact that the joint had to be closed down following the episode. According to the officials at the chain, they decided to shut it down in order to sanitize the place and bring in brand new equipment and utensils.

According to Independent, the employees who were seen grilling the rat in the clip have been fired. Speaking about the same, Richard Stula, the president of the restaurant, said,

“We are horrified that a former teenage employee would conduct themselves in that way and make such a video, of which we are investigating its authenticity.”

Though I go crazy for burgers, I am staying away from them for a while.
