ALLENTOWN, Pa. – A Pennsylvania pizzeria insists venison is not on the menu — despite the impression a customer may have gotten when she saw one of the cooks butchering a deer in the shop's kitchen.
The manager of Stromboli Pizza in Allentown says a customer saw one of the restaurant cooks carving up a deer Tuesday. But John Okumus says the venison was not intended for the store.
He says he shot a doe during a hunt and left the carcass in the store's kitchen for pickup by a friend. Okumus says a customer complained to the city health department after seeing a cook mistakenly butcher the deer.
The department investigated the incident but did not issue a citation.

Overreacting idiot. Some years ago, someone brought a deer to my father so he could do the exact same thing at the restuarant where he worked.

"The thing is Bob, its not that I'm lazy...its that I just don't care."

Yeah, ditto. I butcher deer at a restaurant/bar occasionally when it is cold outside or the wife is using the kitchen at home.


OK, well, actually I do it for an excuse to go to the bar

just be thankful it wasn't roadkill dog.

Squirrel, the other white meat...

I have a lot of those fuzzy-tailed rats in my yard.

Deep red meat except for the brain.

Don't ask.

The common yard rat...
Very aggreive in keeping it's habitat protected (IE geo tracker carcass left in back yard for a winter). Thankfully, it's very excitable, but not very intelligent... Notice the AT-4 is backwards

A restaurant would be a good place to butcher a deer, they usualy have good stainless counters and super sharp knifes.

Over reaction.

Agreed, though I don't think it would go well on pizza unless you made deer sausage first and then put that on the pizza. If you just cut the meat up and put it on, the pizza oven would probably make it come out a little dry and tough. An exception might be corn-stealing midwestern deer. Way back, my dad's old boss gave us some meat from a buck he bagged on a farm in Michigan, and it was tender, juicy, and very delicious.
