A Golden Corral dumpster video shows food stashed outside an alleyway during a restaurant inspection.
Brandon Huber, a cook at a restaurant location in Port Orange, Fla., filmed the workers putting trays of meat next to a dumpster, reported ClickOrlando.com.
“Apparently, what my company likes to do to get ready for inspections is put their food by the Dumpsters,” he said in the video.
“I’m an employee, I’ve been working here for a long time, and I don’t think this is right,” he continued. He added that “as an employee here, I would not eat this stuff.”
Golden Corral told the website that “none of these items were served to a single customer.”
“All were destroyed within the hour at the direction of management. Brandon Huber, the employee who made the video, participated in the disposal of the food,” it said. “The following day, the father of the employee posted an offer to sell the video for $5,000, which was not accepted. The manager involved in the improper storage was terminated for failing to follow approved food-handling procedures.”
The Florida Department of Corrections told the website that Huber has been arrested several times and is on probation.
On Monday, the video, which was titled “all you can eat ribs,” had generated more than 400,000 views on YouTube.
