That same evening, she apparently returns to the restaurant to demand accountability. “I got the impression that they weren’t surprised at all, the chef was behind and didn’t come to us at any point. The manager was not there”she tells him Parisians.

He is offered a deal: 10% off his next meal. An employee also asks to have the lizard burger returned, a request the customer refuses. A little later, a manager of the sign finally offered him an agreement with their insurance company. “It means they realize there was a problem, I wanted them to apologize first of all.”She says.

The client has since contacted a lawyer, who issued a direct subpoena for the American giant to appear in court for endangering the lives of others. The hearing will take place in February 2023 at the Pontoise (Val-d’Oise) court. Contacted by The Parisianthe agency responsible for communicating the brand ensures that a “At the time of events, in February 2021, an internal investigation was immediately launched.
