Police Say Man Rages Over French Fries

Mon Jan 3, 6:49 PM ET

DuBOIS, Pa. - A Burger King customer berated the employees and nearly hit one of them with his truck after the clerk at the drive-thru window told him they were out of french fries, police said.

Gregg Luttman, 22, made an obscene gesture at the drive-thru clerk on New Year's Day, then walked into the restaurant and cursed at the staff, Sandy Township police Sgt. Rod Fairman said.

When he returned to his pickup truck, he saw restaurant workers taking down his license number and put the vehicle in reverse, nearly hitting one of them, Fairman said.

After being stopped on a highway a short distance away, Luttman scuffled with police and kicked out the back window of a police car, Fairman said.

Luttman was charged with assault, reckless endangerment and other offenses. He was freed Monday on $2,500 bail.

Well, I could understand the fuss for McDonald's fries, but Burger King's?

All joking aside, I'm just thankful this complete whacko didn't hurt anyone.

If he was pissed because Burger King was out of fries, I wonder how he's gonna feel when 'Big Bubba' takes away his fries in the prison dining hall and then winks and leers at him?

it's obvious that BK fries are a destabilizing force in society and that for the sake of the children, must be taxed to finance mental health treatments for the children of single crack-whores.

The Original Hot Dog Shop in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh. They serve 40,000 pounds of french fries a week, mostly to drunken college students. The "small" feeds two easily, a "large" is an entire fry basket. Kennywood fries are good, but they are often too hurried, thus limp instead of crispy.

It's right on Forbes Avenue in the heart of the Pitt campus. It's always packed and it's open almost all night.

Your opinion of Primanti Bros?

I don't like cole slaw, so the appeal of putting it and fries on a sandwich is lost on me.

OMG - AMEN!

I swear everyone I know around here thinks I am the only one who doesn't get it.

Answer: Yes, you can put too much stuff on a sandwich.

Not just the "O", but the "Dirty O", nicknamed for the general lack of hygiene... great fries, though...extra greasy and smothered in heart-stopping beef gravy or artery-clogging cheese.

:o)

I don't care for Primantis. To me, its just evidence of my theory that if you get really sh*t-faced drunk, you'll eat just about anything.

i love the o! i am from texas, but im currentlly enrolled at pitt. i live in the university residence halls directly above it. I do have to agree with the statement that most of those 40,000 lbs a week of fries are sold to drunken college students.

they totally rock. on this past sunday, i was hungry, so i spent $5 on a large fries there. It was so large, i had to have my four friends help me eat it, and we were all full afterwards!

Next thing im trying there is a hotdog (because its a hotdog shop)
