Nearly 200 people may have been sickened after eating at the same buffet restaurant last week. A Casper, Wyoming Golden Corral closed temporarily after 167 cases of food-borne illnesses were linked to it. Thankfully, no one has died. The Golden Corral shut down voluntarily and told the local health department they would clean the place from top to bottom. It looks like diners came down with Norovirus, the most common form of food poisoning. If this Golden Corral is the culprit behind all the cases, the incident would make it the largest outbreak of food poisoning from a single restaurant to date. It makes me wonder, are buffet-style restaurants just too risky?![]()
