To Dany…

According to the news report, the Chicken Oscar also had a vegetable on it. Mr. Hawkins had the shellfish allergy since he was 7 years old. He most likely would not recognize the taste of crab in a dish that was all mixed up with sauce and herbs and veggies, nor would he particularly notice the culinary presentation. Also, the lighting in some of the areas of RT is not the greatest. No one is expecting to be served a dish that the person knows will make them ill…or worse. So instead of sniffing and snooping around our food, we generally dig right in and eat it.

To the Manager and Waitress at RT: Regardless of what shows on the ticket from the waitress and the ticket for the cook, a FATAL MISTAKE was made. Do you really believe that anyone in his or her right mind believes that Mr. Hawkins ordered a crab dish? The waitress made the error, or the cook. One of them did not get it right!

Coming soon: releases of any liability need to be signed & witnessed before you will be served food at a restaurant.

Unfortunately, attorneys will go after this attempt by arguing you cannot waive negligence.

End result: in 20 years we will all be eating our own leftovers from the refrigerator and restaurants will have been turned into low income housing.

A very sad mistake that was costly for Mr. Hawkins. I have a feeling that Ruby Tuesday will be settling this one our of court to prevent the negative publicity.
