Woman, 90, Charged for Impersonating a Health Inspector to Shut Down a Rival's Casserole
Woman, 90, Charged for Impersonating a Health Inspector to Shut Down a Rival's Casserole DES MOINES, IA — A 90-year-old Iowa woman has been charged after authorities say she impersonated a county health inspector during a church potluck in an elaborate attempt to eliminate her longtime rival's award-winning green bean casserole from the competition. Investigators say Dorothy Jenkins arrived wearing a homemade badge, carrying a clipboard and a disposable thermometer before announcing she was conducting "emergency food safety inspections." Witnesses claim she walked directly past every dessert table before stopping in front of longtime rival Patricia Meyers' casserole. Police say Dorothy dramatically inserted a thermometer into the dish before declaring, "Unsafe. Immediate removal required." Church volunteers reportedly obeyed without question. Deputies allege Dorothy later admitted she created the fake inspection after losing "Best Casserole" to Patricia four consecutive years. Officers recovered laminated inspection forms printed at the local library along with stickers reading "FAILED FOOD SAFETY REVIEW." The prank unraveled when an actual county employee attending the luncheon questioned why the health department logo had been misspelled. Church members say the rivalry dates back nearly two decades and has included accusations of recipe theft, suspicious judging, and one unexplained pie disappearance. Asked if she regretted anything, Dorothy reportedly answered, "Only that I didn't inspect the macaroni salad too."
