BALTIMORE -- No, it's not the other dark meat. Baltimore health officials say a patron of a Popeye's restaurant bit into a mouse that had been fried along with the chicken.
Tony Hill, of Baltimore, says he was eating the second piece of his three-piece meal when he made the unappetizing discovery. He filed a complaint with the health department.
Baltimore City Health Commissioner Dr. Peter Beilenson told WBAL-TV in Baltimore that the restaurant has been closed twice before in the past two years for mouse infestation and unsanitary conditions. He said that his office is investigating.
"It appears to be a legitimate complaint ... but we found no evidence of mouse infestation," Beilenson said.
Health inspectors examined the restaurant Thursday morning, and Beilenson said they may soon return.
