TAMPA, Fla. -- A man who can no longer feed himself says an uncooked chicken burrito put him in a wheelchair. Roger Anderson said he ate the burrito at a Moe's Southwest Grill in Land O' Lakes in September. He said he soon became sick with stomach cramps, diarrhea and joint pains.

Anderson's attorney said the burrito caused a bacterial infection, which led to a disease that affects the body's nerves.

Anderson and his wife filed a lawsuit against Tampa-based GCF Ventures LLC, which operates the restaurant.

The company said all of its employees are trained in safe food handling and preparation practices, and the restaurant is regularly checked by health inspectors.

1. Sounds like justifiable grounds for a suit to me...

Though I can't imagine why someone would eat uncooked chicken without sending it back after the first bite.

2. Maybe it's just a typo for "undercooked"?

How the HELL could anyone eat an UNcooked chicken burrito?

Blech!!!
