FOOD COURT: Suit Gives New Meaning to Arti-CHOKE

A Miami doctor is suing a restaurant for failing to explain to him the proper way to eat an artichoke. A native Cuban, doctor Arturo Carvajal ordered a grilled artichoke special and proceeded to eat the whole leaf, including the tough, brittle and sharp outer leaves. This led to abdominal discomfort and, according to the suit, "loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life".
