So you would rather attack my fajita eating expertise rather than answer my question I take it.

“No thanks”? Closing your eyes doesn’t make the facts disappear. So you can keep riding the McDonalds frivolous lawsuit all you want, or you can educate yourself so you don’t look stupid.

My questin here is narrow. Tell me how this case is frivolous. In response all I have read is that other restaurants do it too. Why do the HAVE to put food down in front of you that is hot enough to cause harm? because that’s how the dish is served? So there is an inviolate fajita serving tradition that will offend the gods if it is breached?

Applebee's serves food that sizzles in front of you, which is a temperature that can cause harm. I don't know of another restaurant chain that does that. Why does Applebee's HAVE to serve food at that temperature?

I didn't attack you...just questioned how often you eat fajitas

Since you seem to be slow on the uptake, I take a more aggressive stance

The bolded portion of your post tells me you have no idea how fajitas are served...you are talking out of your rear end...that's an attack...

As far as I know all restaurants that sell traditional fajitas serve them on a hot iron skittle sizzling...

Applebees HAVE to serve them at that temperature because if they didn't customers would eventually stop buying them...

Of course this as become silly...

You must be a lawyer since you think common sense is something that legally can be made null and voided...

BTW, the ruling judge is on my side, which tells me volumes about your arrogance...

ok, I think I understand you. Where a safety measure infringes on your preference to confront a danger, any suggestion that the danger might be eliminated by reducing a sizzling temperatures is frivolous, I.e., no reasonable person could disagree with you. Thanks. sorry to upset you.

the word “sizzling” should have been his first clue that it was “sizzling”.

LOL!

Do you have knowledge of a restaurant that serves fajitas in a different manner? 'Sizzling' hot fajitas is the norm for the dish. In other venues that serve 'sizzling' food, the serving dishes are comparable.

Sizzling Platter

So there is an inviolate fajita serving tradition that will offend the gods if it is breached?

If it is a 'standard', why should some dope screw it up for the rest of the fajita consuming public? If he had been 'deaf', couldn't hear the sizzle, couldn't smell the sizzle, or was blind and couldn't see the sizzling or the server using a mitt, there might be a case of negligence for not telling the handicapped about hot food.

I am “stupid”? And these so-called “facts” of which you speak, when referencing the Sundance Award winning documentary film “Hot Coffee” as being the first and last word on the topic? The facts as in a “documentary” film produced by a very liberal lawyer, Susan Saladoff who spent 25 years representing plaintiffs in personal injury, medical malpractice, and products liability actions (well, no bias there), who believes not in the rule of law but in “social justice” and in suing businesses both big and small for her clients for huge sums, clients who are often themselves at fault, in full or in part for their own injuries, who in her “film” blamed a “a right wing crusade” including Newt Gingrich for many juries now declining to award not any, but huge and ridiculous sums of money for the “pain and suffering” and for “punitive damages” sought from the plaintiff’s attorneys (who often take more in these settlements in their legal fees than what their clients ever see) over and above their actual “damages”, i.e. actual and future medical costs and lost wages, and in her “film” where she hails Al Franken as some sort “hero” of the “little people”. BARF!

Just curious - what other important “factual” documentaries are in your Netflix queue – “An Inconvenient Truth”, “The Complete Works Of Michael Moore”? Are you sure you are in the right forum?

Here, BTW are some “tweets” by your hero and “truthiness” filmmaker Susan Saladoff:

No, you look stupid when you don't know the facts, which is what happens when you shoot the messenger. Now, what have you learned about the time it takes for a person to sustain third degree burns at different water temperatures? Nothing, I gather.
