Giant Rats Run Wild in New York City KFC/Taco Bell - WCBS, WNBC video
There's something new on the menu at a Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) and Taco Bell restaurant in Greenwich Village, on 6th Avenue and West 4th Street in New York City: rats, and probably also rat droppings. And not the fun kind of rats that you play with at home. Good thing for you that we have video or you wouldn't believe it, would you?WNBC has more details about the fast food operation that is now closed down for health code violations:A viewer called the WNBC tipline (1-866-NEWS-CH4) with information about the rats. When NewsChannel 4 reporter Adam Shapiro visited the restaurant, he was shocked when he saw several rats running wild across the floor.
The New York City Department of Health recently said the restaurant had a clean bill of health. However, after the rats were captured on video, the Health Department vowed to do another inspection.
The restaurant was planning to open at 11 a.m. Friday, but will be closed until the Health Department clears it for business, said a senior official with the Health Department. Managers of the restaurant showed up Friday morning, fought through the crowd of cameras, and rushed inside without speaking about the issue.
This restaurant has had many problems with the Health Department before, having been cited in 2006, 2005 and 2004. Just two months earlier, the restaurant had been cited with having "evidence of live mice" but since then, the Health Department Web site shows that the issue was resolved.Labels: fast food, KFC, New York, rats
