This was a great family restaurant, reasonably priced.

Customer says she feels 'poisoned' after discovering meat in vegetarian meal ordered at a local eatery
A Jewish woman from Michigan is suing a restaurant for serving her bacon in an omelet that was supposed be meatless.
Get The Times of Israel's Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories FREE SIGN UP That lawsuit was filed on behalf of Angela Montgomery, 30, of Sterling Heights by her attorney Majed Moughni, the Detroit Free Press reported Monday.
Montgomery is seeking monetary damages for emotional and physical distress caused by eating the bacon. She alleged breach of contract and negligent representation.
Pig meat is forbidden under traditional Jewish law.
Montgomery said she found bacon in a vegetarian omelet she ordered on August 25 at a local Denny’s restaurant in Sterling Heights. After taking a few bites, she noticed bacon in the meal. According to the lawsuit, she is a “is a practicing Jew and whose religion forbids the eating of any pork product.”
The waitress and manager both apologized and said the mistake happened because the bacon was stored next to the vegetables in the kitchen, the report said.
Although the manager offered to make her another omelet, Montgomery said she no longer had an appetite.
Montgomery told the Free Press that bacon is “an abominable food.”
“It’s like the most vile, disgusting creature on planet Earth that’s not supposed to go in your body, and I ate it,” she said. “To me, that’s a poisoning. I was poisoned.”
Moughni also filed a similar lawsuit on August 22 on behalf of a Muslim couple from Dearborn, who were served bacon in a cheese sandwich they bought at a KFC in Lincoln Park. Both lawsuits were filed in the Wayne County Circuit Court.
“You can’t allow this practice to continue, whether you’re Muslim or Jewish, and you walk into an establishment and they don’t care about what they are serving,” Moughni said.
Earlier this year Moughni filed a lawsuit against a Little Caesars Pizza in Dearborn for advertising halal pepperoni pizza that he claimed wasn’t halal and contained bacon, the Free Press said.
Here we are defending Israel and we get this idiot suing over a piece of bacon in her omelet. Move on lady. . .what a waste of time and taxpayer’s money.
The nearest is about 1500 miles away.
Dammit.
If you are that orthodox why in G_d’s name would one eat at Denny’s?
The judge should award her $1.
1-800-SUE-PIGS.
make your own omelet at home lady!
who’s to say any place to eat at doesn’t cook in pork grease or use the same flat top grill or utensils used on pork products?
Since when is “Montgomery” a Jewish name? Sounds 100% gentile to me...
someone serious about kashrut would hardly be eating at Denny’s where her vegetarian omelet would be prepared on a grill that had fried nonkosher meat, mixed meat and dairy, and goodness knows what else. just sayin’.....
Well, there's "Spam, eggs, sausage, and spam"; that's not got MUCH spam in it......
Problem solved. Your honor, the defense rests.
She was even offered a correction. She declined. Too disgusted.
So, this is why we have a legal system?
First, they have to prove that Denny's puts meat in any of their meals. It was probably made of soy or worse!
Sam’s restaurant still exists:
Sam, Sr. in pursuit of his dream, moved to Santa Barbara with his wife Ione and their 3 children in 1947. In time, Sam opened his FIRST cafe (early 50s), named Sammy’s Grill at 511 State Street in downtown Santa Barbara, a precursor of things to come! The Spirit of Sam’s vision continues to live in Santa Barbara. Celebrating our 60th year, serving customers from every corner of the globe, on the beach!
“Bohnett was on board. Now they just needed a name. Someone suggested a mashup: Sam- for Sam Battistone Sr. and –bo for Newell Bohnett. And that’s how Sambo’s was born. Still, according to Charles Bernstein, the author of Sambo’s: Only a Fraction of the Action, Battistone and Bohnett didn’t choose the name solely for personal reasons. They chose it because they considered it an “ideal” brand “with excellent promotional potential.””
“Not too long ago, Sambo’s had 1,117 locations in 47 states—and a reputation for pushing racist iconography along with its breakfasts.”
“But that pride would be severely tested by Sambo’s eastward expansion in the late 1970s. What had been shrugged off in, say, California, was greeted in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ohio, and Michigan as an affront. Lawsuits were filed against the Sambo’s name; the NAACP got involved, too. In Rhode Island, the state’s Human Rights Commission decided that “the use of the name ‘Sambo’s’ had the effect of notifying black persons that they were unwelcome at Sambo’s restaurants because of their race”; the Urban League of Springfield, Massachusetts, insisted that the name “carrie[d] racial overtones despite what Sambo’s says.””
“It’s important to note that the Sambo now starring in those murals no longer looks like Bannerman’s Sambo. He has light skin, for one thing. His eyes are almost feminine: long lashes, an anime twinkle. He wears a turban with a gleaming red jewel in the middle. His shoes are curled at the toes.”
1117 locations out of business. Quite a feat.
The libtard author was unaware or deliberately deceptive in claiming that the “new” Sambo was anime inspired or “now starring”. They always had an Indian kid. not a black pickanninie.

If she wanted to make absolutely sure that she would not be served pork, she should have eaten at a kosher restaurant. I have no pity on her.
Flash: Hindu sues McD’s for beef in patties
So a Jewish woman hires a Muzzie lawyer to defend her eating habits?
The world is getting strange!
“With such an over reaction I wonder if she planted the bacon herself”
Very likely. You can buy a bottle of bacon bits from Walmart for $2.34, stick it in your purse and sprinkle it on your omelet.
Shazamm! Instant lawsuit by a leftist commie pig.
Do people think that Denny’s has a separate Kosher Kitchen?
Even the Eggs used in a Vegetarian Omelet are cooked on the same Grill that Bacon and Ham are.
The Cooks don’t use pressurized steam to clean the Grill between Orders.
