Undercooked food - would your first thought be to sue?

Posted by SayWhat, March 16, 2008

Went out last night for dinner. Kid (10 or 11 years old) at next table had ordered a "smokehouse grill plate" that had ribs, chicken, and steak. Said to his mom the chicken was raw. Didn't look raw to me - it looked smoked. Mom calls over the waitress, demands to see a manager (doesn't even tell the waitress what the problem is) and while they are waiting she says to the kid "Don't eat the chicken! If you get sick I am suing this place!" The other 2 kids (same age range) start chanting "sue, sue, sue" (charming, huh?) And the three equal charming adults just smiled at them.

I mean, is this what the world has come to? The first thing we think of is suing a restaurant for allegedly undercooking food?
