(3,682 posts)...for personal food, even if it is against health codes. I'm not saying that is definitely the case here, but it isn't at all outside the realm of possibility. Considering the amount of labor that would go into processing and cooking the meat, it is doubtful to me that they would save that much money...Sysco meat ain't that expensive and it ain't that much cleaner.
I have a friend who owns a Mexican restaurant...I spend a ton of time there and I have been in and out of his kitchen, so I have every confidence in the competence of his staff and their adherence to food safety. Yet the completely baseless rumors that have been spread about his restaurant just because he's a brown-skinned "other" is really frustrating.
It's possible they were going to process the deer meat and sell it (if that grosses you out you may want to check out an industrial pork, chicken, or beef farm). It's also possible that some guy picked up a deer on the way to work and planned to take it home and eat it there.
