San Francisco Chinese cook defrosts, slams meat on sidewalk

A restaurant worker in San Francisco was caught “tenderizing” meat on a sidewalk — and that’s not a euphemism.

The video was shot outside of Lucky River Chinese restaurant last week and has since gone viral.

The video shows a man slamming what appears to be frozen slabs of meat onto the sidewalk.According to CBS, the video dubbed “San Francisco Sidewalk Steak” caught the attention of the San Francisco Health Department.


The department said the cook was reportedly trying to defrost the meat. He has since been fired.

Despite a visit from health officials, the restaurant remained open.According to KPIX, Lucky River scored a satisfactory rating on its last health inspection.
However, reviews on Yelp have been less than generous, with one person mentioning a boiled caterpillar in the vegetables.
'Yup. They boiled a caterpillar, Extra protein I guess,' they wrote.
'I won't eat there again,' said Lacey. 'I will not eat there at all.'
After seeing the shocking video, the San Francisco Public Health Department gave the owners of Lucky River just one month to clean up their act or face closure.
If the owners do not get their staff to enroll in an eight-hour Food Manager Class, earn and print food handlers cards and go on remedial food safety courses within one month, the restaurant will be forced to close.
