Now I’m hungry for some escargot, thanks! :(
True. Escargot sales had been rather sluggish until this lawsuit made the headlines.

Reading between the lines, the moral of the story is: If a well-connected gay couple dining at your establishment have a boo-boo make a big ol’ fuss over them and soothe their bruised egos.
This is a very jolly story. You have to wonder about someone named “Chadwick St-Oharra.” Could that be the name his parents chose for him. But here is a picture of the lovely couple.

Wazzat? A new kind of car? An “Ess” car, go?
"Waiter....there are snails on her plate....You would think that in a fancy restaurant at these prices you could keep the snails off the food! There are so many snails there you can't even see the food! Now take those away and bring us those melted cheese sandwich appetizers you talked me out of!"
where was this judge for the mcdonalds coffee suit?
I’ve checked with catholic.org and I can’t find an entry for “St Oharra” in the listing of official saints.
(Maybe he’s one of those New Orleans Saints I’ve been hearing about.)
Resisting the urge to make a tasteless comment.
"I'm ready to buy. But on one condition. Can you take the "z" off the car's logo and replace it with a "s" on the car? I'll pay full price if you can."
The sales guy is a bit curious and asks why.
The snail says - "Because all my friends will stop and look when I drive by and say -- (wait for it) --- "Hey! Look at that es-car-go!!"
That’s what actually happened, jokes aside.
“You would think that in a fancy restaurant at these prices you could keep the snails off the food!”
Anthony Bourdain mentioned this potential hazard for the cooks as well on one of his shows.
St Oharra is apparently the patron of middle-aged men who like other middle aged men and who are attacked by exploding escargot. I imagine him pierced through with snail shell shards, something like the martyrdom of St. Sebastian with the arrows.
What were they eating,....molluscs with garlic and butter
to make them taste good? Next time, get some garlic and butter
and dip some rich crusty bread into it...it won’t explode
in yo’ face and its lots cheaper! I guess these are the
guys Phil Hendries character “Steve Bozell” is based on.
