According to a lawsuit filed in Palm Beach County court, kitchen workers at the Morton's of Chicago steakhouse in Boca Raton stuck raw vegetables in their underwear before serving them to unsuspecting diners, the website www.GossipExtra.com reported.

In his harassment action against the restaurant chain, sous-chef Reggie Williams claims he witnessed a colleague at the restaurant at the Shops at Boca Center "place stalks of asparagus inside his underwear, next to his anal/genital area in order to simulate his penis," then "serve that asparagus to Morton's unsuspecting paying customers."

This would have gone over better in SF. “Specially handled” vegetables—it could even have been listed on the menu with an extra charge.

Boca is proudly Liberal/commie.

Serves them right (pun intended).

This is what "Diversity", i.e., faggots in the workforce, brings you.

I'm sure dykes have a way of serving those vegetables, too.

Did anyone else think of the airport security scene from the movie This Is Spinal Tap when they read that head line?

I’m confused - if the Chef witnessed this happening, why did he allow the food to be served to a customer? (and of course, kill the waiter - send him to Texas our execution division needs more work)

According to the article, “managers turned a blind eye.” That could be interpreted more than one way, but perhaps he mentioned what he saw and the managers refused to acknowledge it.

Reminds me of an Italian restaurant where I once worked. The owner did the same thing with a rolled up slice of prosciutto, to entertain the kitchen staff. I can’t remember if they served it or not though.

Reason #1 why I’ve all but quit eating out. Fast food, upscale, barely matters. The values of the whole country have been destroyed by the third world homo socialist cabal who have been teaching our children for the last two or three generations.

Allen J. Bernstein, who greatly expanded the high-end Morton’s of Chicago steakhouse chain during his 17 years as chairman, applying what some in the industry called a Big Mac approach to filet mignon, died on Tuesday at a hospital near his home in Manhasset, N.Y., on Long Island. He was 65.

He died after a long illness, his wife, Lori, said.

According to the law suit the four co-defendants would fondle Mr Williams and other male staff, bite their ears and simulate intercourse, while management watched indifferent.

This behaviour culminated in an attack in the restaurant’s dry storage area on Valentines Day this year, Mr William claims in the complaint.

Bleus allegedly pulled his own pants down to exposed himself and tried to remove Mr Williams pants in an attempt to penetrate him.

Williams, who has been married for 11 years and has two sons, said he had to leave the job after the alleged assault.

He filed a police report, but he told authorities that he didn’t want to prosecute.

The officer wrote the Manager, Larry Thomas, ‘kind of knew what took place but didn’t have any details, ‘ NBC reported.

Is Mortons a part of the National Restaurant Association?

Could this story be a subliminal attack on Herman Cain, suggesting that he was the CEO of a bunch of wild out of control restaurants?

This is what "Diversity", i.e., faggots in the workforce, brings you.

This is not a homosexual issue. This is a maturity and morality issue on the part of the cooks.

Watch the movie "Waiting" with Ryan Reynolds, and you'll see what I mean.

It wasn’t immediately known who Bleus’ attorney was, and Morton’s told NBC Miami that Bleus and two the workers named in the suit no longer work at the establishment.

Williams claims the management observed Bleus taking the asparagus back out of his anal-genital area, returning it to his work station despite the real risk of exposing to the public serious illness and injury, and later serve that asparagus to Morton’s unsuspecting paying customers.

“Not just himself but coworkers of his were exposed to this and even patrons of Morton’s were exposed unbeknownst to them, to the most irreprehenisble food handling practices one can imagine,” said Jorge Silva, Williams’ attorney.

Amen. I wouldn't even THINK of eating food prepared by others whenever it can be avoided...
