All you can eat ribs -- by the dumpster.
A Golden Corral franchise is being accused of improper food handling after photos and a video surfaced online that claim to show unsanitary conditions at the famous buffet chain.
Employee Brandon Huber posted a video on Youtube showing raw hamburger patties swarmed by flies near the restaurant's dumpster.
'I'm an employee here, been working here for a long time, and I don't feel that this is right,' Huber says to the camera. 'I mean look at it, what do you think?'
'Let me show you just how disgusting this is,' Huber continues, as the camera pans to reveal stacks of food next to the dumpsters including raw baby back ribs, green bean casserole, pot roast, chicken, ham, and bacon.
Separately, a Reddit user named GCWhistleblower posted photos purporting to show a Golden Corral kitchen overflowing with garbage and food.
A statement provided to the website Consumerist via Eric Holm at Metro Corral Partners, a franchisee who owns several Golden Corral locations in Florida and Georgia, including the Port Orange location, reads:
'A video was recently posted showing an incident of improper food handling at our Port Orange, Florida location. None of these items were served to a single customer. All were destroyed within the hour at the direction of management. Brandon Huber, the employee who made the video, participated in the disposal of the food.
The following day, the father of the employee, posted an offer to sell the video for $5,000, which was not accepted.
The manager involved in the improper storage was terminated for failing to follow approved food handling procedures.'
