A former night-shift cook at the Denny's restaurant on Illinois Route 3 in Waterloo has been charged with aggravated battery after being accused of contaminating food and watching customers eat it, authorities said Thursday.

Police said that Anthony J. Lindhorst, 26, of Waterloo, deliberately contaminated food on at least two occasions by putting his semen into the honey-mustard dressing that the restaurant serves with its chicken strips, said Capt. Suzanne Sweet of the Waterloo police. The incidents occurred in November and April, police said.

Literal barf alert.

I'll never eat again.

Eeewww!

[Bikers4Bush]

Save society time and money and take him out to a field and shoot him.

[Dustbunny]

Now I remember why we do not eat out.

On both occasions, Lindhorst targeted "people that he didn't like, for one reason or another," Sweet said. One was a woman in her early 40s. The other victim, Sweet said, was a male police officer in his late 20s who had issued Lindhorst a traffic ticket.
...
Sweet said that Lindhorst worked at the restaurant for about a year until he was fired in April for bringing brownies to work that he had baked with marijuana. Lindhorst served the brownies to two co-workers and that two of the aggravated battery charges stem from that incident, Sweet said.

Well, at least he's not targeting people he doesn't even know.

I sometimes ponder the amount of that stuff, and other body fluids I have consumed from resturant food over my life.

I'm sure it's a ton.

[TRY ONE]

Hum! People ate beef jerky and didn't know it!

[Graybeard58]

My wife and I have both gotten sick on different occasions from eating at Denny's, so this doesn't affect me. I don't step foot in Denny's anyway.

I realize of course this kind of thing can happen at any restaurant.

You know, the porn-star name of the police captain added an additional retch factor.

"Honey Mustard". Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays?

Ya know, to come up with YOUR OWN porn star name you simply take the name of your first pet and the street you grew up on.

Mine is "Smokey Sylvan."

[Gator113]

Maybe his is simply an active member of PETA!!

It gets worse when you find out what he was likely thinking about when he brewed up his special sauce:

In 2002, Lindhorst was charged with three counts of possession of child pornography, but those charges were dismissed.

Belle Abbott.

Just the thought of that makes my stomach turn. I am glad we dont eat at Denny's. I hope he was tested for STD's and so forth. That is so incredibly gross.

[jtminton]

Bummer. Mine is LittleBit Paula.

Yet another career field lost.

Terry Hwy. 76 just doesn't have a porn star ring to it.

How was he caught? November and April? Some missing info here.
