Would you accept pickles from this man?

Whenever I go to Burger King, I make sure to order without any vegetables.  Today a friend of mine told me that I am not alone.  A man named Darius Dugger has a lawsuit claiming that he ordered a meal without pickles, onions and tomatoes and Burger King failed to give it to him his way.

According to Hamptonroads.com, Dugger had a “severe allergic reaction” to the vegetables.  Now I’m not in favor of suing a corporation over an incident like this, especially when he should have looked between the patties before biting in, however, I am proud of him for bringing the incident to national attention.

Far too often, we unvegans are subject to the negligence of restaurants that disobey our needs and put vegetables in our foods.  With any luck, Dugger’s case will ensure that such problems will never happen again.

For bringing the overuse of vegetables at Burger King to national attention, Darius Dugger, you are a True Unvegan Hero!

As my love of burgers, especially those of the umami variety, I jumped at the opportunity.

Although I arrived alone, I was not the only lone eater. Just next to where I was seated, I met e*star LA and we decided to share a meal called loneliness, because it’s better than eating alone. We made quick friends over our respective blogs and Midwestern roots, then got to work at dissecting the special menu, which Plan Check will be featuring for the next month if anything tickles your fancy.
