Burger joint shutters after video shows workers grilling rat
A restaurant in Hawaii was forced to close temporarily when a stomach-turning video of a rodent sizzling on its grill popped up on social media, according to reports.
“We are horrified a former employee would create something like this trying to destroy our reputation without regard for our 20-plus years of quality and aloha,” Teddy’s Bigger Burgers President Richard Stula told Hawaii News Now.
The video, which surfaced on Snapchat, appears to show two teenage workers joking as they fry up the baby rat next to a beef patty at the restaurant in Honolulu.
“Braaaaah. Gnarly. Employees at Teddy’s Bigger Burger cooking a rat at the 99 ranch location. Ummmmm … so gnar,” reads the caption, according to a screengrab posted by Fox News.
The restaurant fired at least one employee — and plans to conduct a “complete sanitization” of equipment and replace utensils, company reps told the station.
“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 told Fox.
He added, “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.”
The state’s Department of Health was scheduled to inspect the restaurant Friday.

13-year-old who wrote essay about gun violence is shot dead
Milwaukee, WI. (WTMJ) — A young girl penned a winning essay about gun violence in Milwaukee, two years before she was killed by a bullet in her own home.
That girl was 13-year-old Sandra Parks, an eighth-grade student. She was was in her bedroom Thursday night near 13th and Hopkins when someone shot into her house, killing her.
In an essay she wrote two years before her death, she talked about hoping to see an end to violence in her neighborhood.
“We shall overcome has been lost in lies of who we are. Who we have become,” wrote Parks an essay. “We need to rewrite our story so that faith and hope for a better tomorrow is not only within us. But we believe it and we put it into action.”
The words of then-11-year-old Parks as she reads her essay on Dr. Martin Luther King Junior.
“Our first truth is that we must start caring about each other,” said Parks in an interview with Wisconsin Public Radio in 2017.
A message her friends and family want to continue. They came together Friday night to remember the young girl with dreams of changing the world. A world she told said had too much death.
“In my own words it would be really violent because the world that we have become now is like is all you hear about is somebody dying. Somebody getting shot. And people do not think about who’s father or son or granddaughter or grandson that was that you just killed,” said Parks in the interview.
“Do you look forward to doing big things in your lives?” asked host Kathleen Dunn.
“When I like take over I would like to like stop all the violence and negative, negativity that is going on,” answered Parks.
Now her mother needs the community to take up that cause for her.
“She was a star that was trying to get out by didn’t know how,” said Bernice Parks. “Don’t never forget my baby.”
