In the video shared by FOX 5 Atlanta, the kitchen appeared to be in a state of disarray, with trash and equipment haphazardly strewn over the dirty counters and floors.

Based on the video alone, LongHorn Steakhouse seemed to have several health code violations, including cross-contamination, improper food storage, and poor kitchen sanitation, among others.
