Finish your lunch before reading further; Eater has received a nauseating email from a diner who found a little something extra in her bowl of grits at Tribeca's Kitchenette: "Halfway through my friend's grits, she noticed a worm on her spoon.

Wait, it gets better – the server offered to bring them a new bowl of grits (which they declined) but still charged them! (Understandable; in some places they charge extra.)

When she came over, she said the following, 'Look, this is just what happens with grits or any bag of meal or oats. I eat this stuff all the time, and this is just what happens. It's not like it's going to kill you.'" Kitchenette: Not Killing Customers for 15 years! (Reached by phone, the manager said she had not heard about the incident.) more ›
