Jimenez ordered fajitas that were placed in front of him in a "sizzling skillet." When he bowed his head "close to the table," the ruling says, Jimenez heard "a loud sizzling noise, followed by 'a pop noise' and then felt a burning sensation in his left eye and on his face."
In an incident report prepared for Appelebee's, Jimenez said he was burned on his face, neck and arms after "grease popped" on the fajitas.

(80,708 posts)Plus they bring it with an oven mitt. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that it's hot as hell.
I can't say I've ever had them at Applebee's, but.... yeah.

You can't fix stupid.

(59,587 posts)Every single time, I'd set the skillet on the trivet and warn the table (as if this hissing and popping weren't enough) that it was hot.
About one time in ten, I'd be walking away from the table and hear "Ow! It's HOT!"

(27,461 posts)yes, you know they're hot, yes you can hear it sizzling, and see the grease bubbling.
But you are sitting at a restaurant table, your guard is down a little, you don't expect burn hazards. So it makes a ton of sense when the waiter tells me to be careful. When I hear that I don't think "duh", I think "oh yeah thanks for reminding me".
Whether that warning is a legal obligation, that's a different story...

(62,424 posts)shouldn't he sue his god for making him that way?
or maybe his parents?
or how about the public schools - they are always a good whipping boy?
