Thomas Howie said he felt a sharp object hooked in his cheek as he ate soup in a Michigan Olive Garden restaurant. Olive Garden denies the allegations.
A Michigan man is suing Olive Garden, alleging that he found a rat’s foot in a bite of minestrone soup.
When he spat the food into a napkin, the complaint says, he saw a hairy, clawed rodent foot, which prompted him to vomit. After the incident, Howie sought medical treatment at an urgent care center for a bleeding cut in his mouth, according to the lawsuit. A doctor gave him a shot to protect against tetanus and diphtheria, prescribed antibiotics and gave Howie a mouthwash typically used to treat gingivitis, the complaint says.
Howie still feels an aversion to eating meat and struggles to dine at any restaurants where he cannot see the food being prepared, according to the lawsuit. In the days following the incident, the complaint adds, he continued to vomit and felt unable to eat anything but plain crackers.Macomb County Circuit Court
Gwinn said in response that Olive Garden’s comments about the photo are “arguments reserved for Court,” and that the specimen can be made available for inspection during the case’s discovery process.
