Teddy's Bigger Burgers in Mapunapuna shutters store
2018-11-24
[Vegas Journal Review] HONOLULU ‐ A Hawaii-based burger chain has closed a Honolulu restaurant for cleaning after a video posted to social media appeared to show a rat being cooked on the grill.

Teddy’s Bigger Burgers has closed the Mapunapuna location and fired two employees who appeared in the Snapchat video.

"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," said Richard Stula, the president of Teddy’s Bigger Burgers.

The company initiated a "complete sanitization" and is replacing equipment and utensils at the fast-food restaurant after the video was shared with them several days ago, Stula said in the statement.

"We will then send a corporate team in to inspect and complete a thorough audit of the location before it is allowed to re-open," Stula said.

#8  If it weren't for my time in food service, I would never have become a good cook.

I prefer going inside to order box food; get a feel for how well run the business is.

#7  When cupboard and market are clean
Of conventional protein to glean,
When guinea pigs grunt
And are driven to hunt...
Studies show they prefer Lean Cuisine!

#5  New jingle?

"Aloha! Our outlets are ratty,
The furniture faded and tatty. [yelling from kitchen]
That condiment caddy
Is not at all natty [buzzing],
But, dammit, the burgers ain't fatty!" [big smile from Izzy impersonator]

Seriously? Do you even know any actual teenagers?

Speaking as your Marketing Advisor, I recommend a new daily special. To paraphrase that old saying, when Life hands you rats, make ratatouille.

#1  The grill should have been plenty hot enough to kill any nasties from the rat, though they should cook the rat to an internal temperature of 170 to be safe for serving.
