The story only presents the family’s viewpoint, so I take it with a grain of salt. The family won’t include any facts that may weaken their case. YMMV.
Having said that, the lawyer should be bitch-slapped. Don’t want to be around flying food? Don’t visit Benihana. The article (again, family’s viewpoint) paint it as a malicious act by the chef (who will now be asked if he remembers a single family from 10 months back and will be faulted if he doesn’t).
Some lawsuits that pop up make me wish there was a way to penalize lawyers/plaintiffs for blatant cash grabs. This may be one of them.
[P.S. I haven’t seen anyone else posting this in the pit, and I don’t frequent MPSIMS. I apologize in advance if this is the nth duplicate on the subject]

The shrimp was tossed in January 2001. It’s been three years since the guy keeled over and died, and they’ve only now got around to blaming the crustacean wielding maniac? Who knows what butchery he has wrought since?
Yikes! The man died ten months later, but it’s been nearly 4 years! I’m sure he’ll remember now :rolleyes: (And yes, I’m purposely ignoring your pun ;j )
Um, lady? If you’re worried about protecting your kids from the Behihana Chef of Doom ™ :rolleyes: , I have the perfect solution for you: don’t go there!
The defendant roster on this lawsuit isn’t nearly long enough. They need to go after the culinary school that trained the chef, the wholesaler who brought the shrimp into the restaurant, the shrimp boat captain who caught the shrimp, the fish market that gave that captain a place to sell his catch, the restaurant supply company that retailed the knife, the manufacturer of the knife, the foundry where the steel in the knife was smelted, the operators of the mine where the ore for the steel was extracted, the uniform suppliers who supplied the uniform with the big pockets for the chef (a big breast pocket for catching shrimp tails fairly screams “Hey! Be a show-off in this shirt!”) and the designer who designed the uniform.
:rolleyes: Same old tired arguments. They hardly have any shrimp at all in Sasketchewan, and how many chef-related deaths do you hear about from there, huh? huh? huh?
