SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) - Four women sued an Irvine restaurant after one of them said she found a condom in her clam chowder when they dined there last year. Laila Sultan said she was eating at McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant on Feb. 26, 2002, when she bit into something rubbery.

Waiter, there's a fly in my soup.
So?
It's having sex with a clam.
[sigh]... ok, we'll take care of it.

I do not favor suing, but in this case I could be persuaded... Unspeakable, and what possible "valid" explanation could there be? I once got a rubber band in a sandwich - but this - ghastly. I'd throw up too.

was bill clinton working in the kitchen that day?

Comments like South40's (and mine) earn this thread the Wally Cox wagging finger of condemnation.

Shame on any food server who does that - restaurants which allow that type of attack should be shut down and the perpetrator charged. A policeman in this area caught a fast food worker who had spit on his burger - hope that jerk is still ruing the day he did it.

Sending food back to the kitchen can be a risky business

An architect once told me he worked as a waiter while going through college. One day a customer complained his steak was too raw. He took it back to the kitchen whereupon the cook grabbed the steak, spat on it, threw it down onto the floor, and stomped on it. He then picked it up, put it on the plate, and told the waiter to take it back. The customer ate it.

I don’t ever, ever, ever send my food back.

Anyone with name like Cox shouldn't be wagging anything

How ironic . . . a condom languishing in chowder rather than retaining chowder.

[kinghorse]

haha, oh wait.

[kinghorse]

it was insincere condemnation, k?

note the fuzzy (circa 1966) wry smile.

"Four women sue Irvine restaurant after one says she found condom in her chowder..."

Let this be a reminder to one and all, you should always practice safe sex soup!

Long ago and far away I had a friend who worked in room service at one of the poshest most exclusive resort hotels in sourthern California. Unpopular politicians and celebrities often had their food spit on, and even worse, their iced tea contained urine.

If the other three are suing, shouldn't everyone who had clam (condom) chowder at that restaurant that day join in the suit as well?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

I'm with you, I don't send food back. I just never go back to the restaurant.

[Momaw Nadon]

Oh waiter, could I pleathse have a bowl of that chowder?

[RANGERAIRBORNE]

I worked in a restaurant when I was in High School- and I'm here to tell you that the singl;e most disgusting things I have ever seen were the large cans of clams I has to open and roll in breading. The stuff looks EXACTLY like snot into which someone has blown large chunks after a very bad seafood meal...

A can of used rubbers could only be an improvement.
