As reported by CBS News Philly, the Bensalem police confirmed an argument among customers sparked the incident but were still investigating exactly what caused the argument and who started the fight. The instigator(s) could face several charges including simple assault.
A person close to the incident told CBS Philly that the fight started because of a steak shortage.
“There was a shortage of steak and two parties were involved and one family cut in front of another family, they were taking their time and they ran out of steak and it got into a heated exchange at the tables,” said Gaven Lauletta, a friend of a former Bensalem Golden Corral employee.
An unidentified man in the video can be heard saying “All I wanted was some steak!”
But a spokesperson for Golden Corral told Eat This, Not That! that the incident was sparked due to a misunderstanding at the steak ordering station, which had nothing to do with a shortage. The chain currently isn’t experiencing any kind of shortage of meat, the spokesperson confirmed.
