Anybody know anything about this restaurant?
According to a lawsuit filed in Palm Beach County court, kitchen workers at the Morton's of Chicago steakhouse in Boca Raton stuck raw vegetables in their underwear before serving them to unsuspecting diners, the website www.GossipExtra.com reported.

In his harassment action against the restaurant chain, sous-chef Reggie Williams claims he witnessed a colleague at the restaurant at the Shops at Boca Center "place stalks of asparagus inside his underwear, next to his anal/genital area in order to simulate his penis," then "serve that asparagus to Morton's unsuspecting paying customers."

This was unquestionably unhygienic and reprehensible behavior," said Coral Gables lawyer Jorge Silva, who represents Broward resident Williams and his wife Crystal Williams, another plaintiff. "Reggie and other kitchen staffers called attention to the food handling practices and harassment but management did nothing."

The climate in the restaurant is that employees better have a thick skin or they don't belong," Silva said. "Some workers who complained were fired."

4. The one and only time I was at a Morton's the asparagus....
... was way overgrown and I didn't eat any (only small asparagus stalks are good tasting).

Now I'm really glad!

6. If I worked in a restaurant in Boca, I would prolly do the same thing or worse. Boca sucks.

Seriously. It is the epicenter of snotty arrogant self-centered jerkwads. You know the guys that were mocking the 99%ers? I bet most of them have a home in Boca.

Not everyone in Boca is an asshole.. but enough are to make it a miserable place.

I'm not saying what this guy did was OK, but I understand. (my apologies to Chris Rock)
