ATLANTA (AP) — Nearly two dozen people have been sickened by salmonella apparently linked to a suburban steak and buffet restaurant, the state health department said Wednesday.
The Golden Corral restaurant in Kennesaw voluntarily closed Tuesday for a cleaning and investigation, said Richard Quartarone, spokesman for the Division of Public Health.
He said 20 of 23 salmonella illnesses in the last few months were linked to the restaurant. One person died, but whether the infection caused it wasn't clear because the person had other health problems. A connection to the restaurant also wasn't known.
