Breitbart: A Texas woman has filed a lawsuit seeking $1 million in damages after contracting “Fried Rice Syndrome” from allegedly spoiled food served at a Waxahachie buffet.
In her lawsuit, Germaine Mobley, 62, accuses the owners of the Asian King Buffet of leaving food out too long. Mobley claims she became violently ill after eating the fried rice in 2016, WFAA reported.
The woman said that the food tasted fine, but in the hours after she ate she became violently ill, had trouble breathing, and ended up at the hospital. read more
my flied lice no makie you sick. You go now.
2 years? She shopped for 2 years to find an attorney greedy and dumb enough to sue?
A Chinese buffet is only one rung above Russian roulette.
I hate eating out, I really hate the idea of eating from big platters of food where they add to them, never replace it.
If you add in nasty people browsing, that’s an invitation to be sick.
Worse than flying.
Hmmm…I wonder if anyone has ever gotten sick from the food at the Red Hen in Virginia? Hint, hint…
I thot Moms wuz dead…
“You just never dream that you would go out to eat and get that ill,” Mobley concluded
It’s obvious she’s never been to Asia
Buffet? Absolutely not.
Asian buffet? Why not just eat the flies off the sneeze guard?
Almost got sick from Jagger’s “Little Red Rooster” back when he tried singing the blues while sporting an eight-figure bank account.
Never ever eat at a “Chinese Buffet”. Ever. No matter how hungry you are. Even gas station hot dogs are safer and more edible.
fact: You will never see a Chinese person eating at a “Chinese Buffet”.
YOU BEEN HERE FOUR HOUR! YOU GO NOW!!!
Last time I got food poisoning was a few years ago. Whole Foods salad bar.
You never know…
“Gasoline station” sushi anybody?
About the same odds.
Fried Rice Syndrome – are the symptoms that you’re hungry 30 minutes after eating?
@Thirdtwin – I’ll eat a gas station egg salad sandwich before Chinese buffet. I’d also include Golden Corral; A giant petri dish that you pay them to ingest. YUM!

Several Chinese buffets were closed down for health reasons. One of my Mexican friends told me that in Tijuana Chinese restaurants were caught using dog met (and maybe cat meat). I will not eat anything sold in stores if it came from China. Be careful if you shop the Dollar stores, many of their edibles are from China.
@grool, that’s a standup you’ll never see again.
Surprised Fooltube hasn’t ripped it from the pages of history yet.
Besides no self-awareness, Progs have no sense of humour.
Page O Turner, you’re hungry in half an hour but you can’t eat again for a week.
And the jury can award her a million grains of rice…
She’s a double dipper but blamed it on the rice.
That story brought back the memory of working in a civilian hospital back in the early 70’s going into work one morning I happen to notice the head cook carrying a brown bag, jokingly I asked if that was his lunch and with a straight face he said YES! So much for eating in the cafeteria from then on.
Been all over the world and eaten a bit of everything. Ain’t dead yet.
For over 2 decades I couldn’t look at a bean sprout nor Asian food without getting the dry heaves.
I had a lobster something or other at a highly rated Mandarin restaurant in a Chgo burb. Within an hour of eating, the runs and heaves commenced. Lasted ALL night. Between boughts, I dealt with a little man who used my gut as a 3 dimensional puzzle, who put my tummy together and then said, “no, this is wrong, have to try again.”
@Junopapa:
Me, too. That which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
That restaurant ought to sue Germaine Mobley for defamation, but she’d likely defend herself claiming she had Fried Brain Syndrome.
Who the f*ck eats at a buffet?
Been a while, but having raised gluttony to an art form I used to like the Chinese buffets.
On occasion it was challenging to try and make it home without shitting my pants.
“….became violently ill, had trouble breathing, and ended up at the hospital”.
I had the same violent reactions around 11/08 and again 11/12. Who do I sue?
Walk into any buffet in America. Look at the clientele and see if you don’t lose your appetite.
Y’all can say what you want but Golden Corral’s cleaned up their act in the past couple years. We enjoy the place immensely, ain’t never had any issues.
America has too many lawyers!

I’m gonna sue you for that comment!
I have eaten out (pardon the expression) all of my life.
I can recognize the symptoms of E-coli now, and you can fix this by dumping down a half bottle of pepto. I once got thru 3 days in Mexico by alternating between pepto and alcohol. For the stuff worse than this, I have a private stash of flagyl. It kills most anything.
For people suffering from constipation, a Chinese buffet may offer the best cure.
@Buffet Owner: “YOU ROOK RIKE FWEE WIWWY!”
