Fort Worth man says moldy DQ burger sent him to the ER
FORT WORTH -- Ralph Bryan contends his “Beltbuster” hamburger bought at an east Fort Worth Dairy Queen did a lot more than cure his hunger — it sent him to the hospital.
Bryan is suing the DQ Grill and Chill restaurant on Bridge Street after the hamburger he bought in September 2016 was so moldy that he ended up going to an emergency room and had be admitted to the hospital with food poisoning, according to a lawsuit filed in Tarrant County civil court.
“Without the needed medical care, Mr. Bryan might have died,” according to the lawsuit. “This whole, horrid experience has been very painful and frightening to Mr. Bryan.”
Bryan is seeking more than $200,000 from the DQ franchise and its corporate parent, Lickety Split Food Services in Southlake. Phone calls from the Star-Telegram to the store and Lickety Split were not immediately returned on Friday. Bryan’s attorney, Ernest “Skip” Reynolds, also was unavailable for comment.
