Yes another severed finger was found in someone's food, totally ludicrous if you ask me.

It's pretty obvious this is BS, but why in God's name wouldn't this new accuser take a lesson from the last one and realize they'll only suffer for this PR prank? I don't think I can comprehend someone so stupid, which makes me second guess and think, just maybe, it's for real this time.

Read it again...It says finger tip ...NOT finger.....Knives are sharp and chefs cut finger tips all the time hell i ma not a chef and I have cut the tip off.......This is more believable than a whole finger like the Wendy's case...

Maybe actually read the article before you post things totally out of context.

Jalto, sorry but it is real. Check what The Smoking Gun has to say

An Applebee's source told TSG that a male employee sliced off a chunk of his finger while cutting chicken and that the severed portion could not be immediately retrieved because it landed in a "to go order." The worker was subsequently dismissed for failing to follow food safety procedures.

Do you have to pay extra for those in New Orleans? Here's in California, they're free.

All you gotta do is... ahem... tip your server a little extra.

mmmm

Severed finger.

They just need to market it better. I prefer liver but finger would also work as long as you serve it with fava beans and some nice Chianti.

Sorry about that guys, I only heard a quick report by MSNBC and they said finger, so when I saw that thread I figured the same when I posted. Sorry again.
