Yet another reminder to do a sweep of any food you do not prepare personally before you yet it: A woman is suing restaurant Rue 57 because bit into a finger that was in the beet salad. Oh, yes, a finger. The Posts reports that the $3 million lawsuit is based on Marina Andriynannikova's takeout that was good until she "bit on something hard." "At first, I didn't realize what it was. Then I noticed a nail and some flesh."At first the Rue 57 denied that it was a finger - until he found out that it was his employee's cut finger in the salad. The lawsuit "charges the restaurant with negligence - and also blames the unidentified employee for failing 'to determine the location of his severed fingertip.'" Failing to determine the location of his severed fingertip is pretty serious, but the poor employee.
The Post's Steve Cuozzo wrote a review of Rue 57 in 2000. And find out about other restaurant's health department status checking with the city's database.

Eww. That resturant should just settle...
...or they could start marketing a specialty line of finger sandwiches. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) Though, I am a little concerned about the working conditions of a restaurant that doesn't allow its maimed workers the opportunity (or care enough to let them) find their missing digits.
i think i might throw up. that is so gross.
now the hipster vs. con-ed doesn't look quite as frivolous by comparison. yes, it's gross. sue the resto, maybe. but sue the poor sap who just lost his fingertip? that seems a little cruel. i mean, yeah, you got grossed out. he lost a digit, for chrissakes
Ugh god, I work as a hotel concierge on w58th and I send guests to RUE 57 for lunch & dinner EVERY SINGLE DAY. They're one of my local favorites... er, WERE one of my favorites.
This just threw my world out of whack.
