A food critic
is being sued for being critical...A THREE-SENTENCE restaurant review has led to a high-steaks lawsuit from Chops Restaurant (401 City Ave.) against Inqwaster food critic Craig LaBan and Philadelphia Media Holdings, which owns the Inqwaster and Daily News.
In his "Or Try These" sidebar to his Feb. 4 review of Fleming's in Radnor, LaBan called Chops, a popular Bala Cynwyd steakhouse, the "Palm on City Line," where he had a "miserably tough and fatty strip steak."
However, according to the suit filed by Chops owner Alex Plotkin, LaBan had a steak sandwich minus the bread, not a strip steak.
"No legitimate food critic would ever mistake, or compare, a steak sandwich with a strip steak," the lawsuit states.
Mr. Plotkin is lucky I'm not the judge hearing this case. First he'd get a lecture on not being such a cry baby about a bad review, then a lecture on the proper use of the judicial system and how he's wasted the court's valuable time, and then I'd lock him up for contempt of court until he was miserably tough and fatty.
