Pizza shop fined for butchering deer

A local pizza shop that landed in hot water last month when a cook butchered a deer in the kitchen on the second day of hunting season was ordered to pay a fine, but will face no further penalties, an Allentown ...

[Real Big Fine]

We get bigger fines for parking meters in Allentown.

[wtf]

why make a big deal about this. go into any chinese restaurant and see all the cockroaches, not a damn thing is done to them

[Dennis Mac]

When the A-hole "Government" ultimately collapses,
We will all be "Drooling" for Venison Pizza.

Can I place my order for 50 Pizzas now?

[Allentonian]

What's the big deal? Someone got a deer, and it was butchere at the shop. It wasn't served, it wasn't in the public eye. Doesn't Allentown have much bigger problems than this?

[Ann]

gee - you think he can afford the $50 fine.......

[chloe]

I wouldn't buy my food from this pizza shop

[Judge Judy]

At least you know your not getting a
"Bum Steer"

In reality, he was trying to get rid of the deer and probably re-use his tag.

This place has excellent food and is incredibly clean. Our workplace orders from here frequently and will continue to do so. Everybody is entitled to one strike. Frankly, the guy who was spitting in the taco meat at Taco Bell grossed me out quite a bit more.

[who cares]

Who cares? I really don't think this place is going to loose any business. It's meat, people eat deer all the time. I really don't see what the big deal is.

[corgiman]

Yea right, they were going to sell it as beef! I wont eat there anymore

[ingrid]

wonder how many chinese restaurants get fined for butchering and serving cat. is this pizza shop butchering deer really news?

[are you serious]

The story mostly checks out but why would the cook "mistakingly" start butchering it. It makes no sense to me.

[Roxy]

Venison ,Yumm!!!!!!!!!!

[mr cubby]

could've butcheres the deer in the bathroom

Venison is probably much better for you than beef. Lower in fat and no antibiotics or God knows what is fed the beef cattle.

***out***

[STEPH]

i dont even know where to start,the people on here that are writing and see nothing wrong with it,wow,i guess you've never worked in a restaurant and dont know that there are health laws that your suppose to follow. To the lady that was saying chinese places that have bugs,Ive worked in allentown restaurants for 15 years,about half the places there have bugs.These people got caught & then lied to cover it up,why would a cook just start cutting a deer for no reason,doesnt make any sense! & to the person who said they will comtinue eating there,i hope you get a hand full of deer hair in your food and when you do i hope you dont complain about it! wow, you people are really dumb!

[DIRTY HARRY]

One pizza with deer sausage PLEASE...

[Old Salty]

How come nobody picked up on the "one of the cooks mistaken began to butcher the deer"?

Who mistakenly starts to butcher a deer? Did the cook think it was to be a new topping on the pizzas and begin to INTENTIONALLY butcher it, or did the cook slip on his way to the utility closet and his knife MISTAKENLY sliced off the tenderloin?

Sounds more like someone was using the Pizza's shop facilities to do their dirty work and got busted. Either way, I don't care. I'll still eat their pizza. Shame on anyone who wouldn't--ever see how your T-bone gets to your table? Come-on. Get real!

Now THIS is headline news! Anywhere else on Earth you'd be able to buy the deer on the street hanging on a hook and the MC makes it a top story!
