The chosen sink is normally used to clean utensils, pans and other cookware. According to the Williamson Daily News, the restaurant was shut down "until further notice" by health department officials.
Brett Vance, an employee from the Mingo County Health Department, told the Daily News there is currently no set date for reopening, but sanitation would be necessary before the restaurant could open up for business again.
Reportedly, the worker was immediately fired and steps were taken to stop him from re-entering the premises.
Members of the public in Kermit branded the act as "disgusting, sickening and horrible."
