Man says he got a free snake head with his veggies at TGI Friday's

The best part about going out to eat is when you get a little something extra.

You know, like a little extra whipped cream on your sundae, or a little extra martini when they mix too much, or an extra friendly waiter.

But no one - and I mean no one - ever wants a little extra disembodied snake head with their broccoli.

Yum yum yum.

The Associated Press reports some dude in New York got exactly that when he went to get his nosh on at a TGI Friday's.

The unlucky diner said he was munching at a restaurant in Clifton Park when he spotted something gray mixed in with his veggies.

Upon closer examination and before he probably fell out of his chair and died a little inside, he discovered that gray stuff was a thumb-sized snake head with part of the spine still attached.

Gross. Seriously, gross. Like even grosser than some of the gross stuff I've seen my gross friends eat at gross sushi restaurants. Gross.

The dude snapped a pic with his cell phone and called the waiter over.

The manager, in what might be my favorite understatement of the week, said he'd never seen anything like it.

A TGI Friday's spokesperson told the AP they're investigating the incident. They pulled the offending broccoli from that restaurant and others who used the same supplier.

But at least he got some free grub. The guy and his girlfriend weren't charged for their meals.

And the next time your mom tries to make you eat broccoli, you have a good excuse to say no.

You're welcome.

I had a similar incident with Feng Ling on Fm 1960 when I took my 18 month old and sister out to eat and ordered the fried rice and got half way through the rice and found a water bug (you know like those red roaches) cut in half, I wanted to throw up! I called the waiter over who called the manager over who DIDN'T want to cover the bill until I started to inform the other patrons in the establishment what was in my food. Now what they did was make me pay for my food and then say they couldn't refund it at the time to my credit card but could send me a check which they did. They didn't pay for my sisters meal though. I will never eat there again!!! FENG LING!!! GROSS!!!!!

Last time I ate at TGI Fridays, I ordered French Onion Soup. I had a large, black, curly hair on top of my cheese. I called the waiter over and quietly told him. He took it and brought a fresh one. He gave me mine for free but not my daughters or the drinks. I repeat, The LAST time I ate at TGI Fridays.....this story confirms it!
