You may recall the frivolous sounding lawsuit filed in Marin a few months back involving some “exploding” escargot that allegedly injured two men with scalding hot garlic butter. It’s a case not unlike the McDonald’s coffee lawsuit, made all the funnier because it’s Marin and escargot. Anyway, the judge in the case found for the defendants, a couple of supervisors at Seafood Peddler restaurant, and noted that the plaintiffs should have had “a reasonable expectation of the presence and, thus potential personal injury, due to hot grease in orders of escargot which are prepared and served with ‘hot garlic butter.’”
