This was one unfortunate find.
A woman said she discovered someone else’s fortune cookie reading baked into the crab she was gobbling at a Chinese buffet in Indianapolis this week.
“I had four or five bites,” said Lola Lindsey, who frequents Hibachi Grill and Supreme Buffet two to four times each month, according to FOX 59. “Then my next bite, when I lifted my fork up, it was someone’s fortune.”
Lindsey said that she was having lunch with a friend when she made the discovery — and she and her friend both had their own fortune cookies in their pockets.
“I’m thinking the only way that got in there is if they had scraped someone’s plate and put it back into the pan and then added stuff on top of it so you wouldn’t see it had been on somebody else’s plate and then re-baked it,” she said.
The Marion County Health Department received two complaints about the eatery this week and sent out an inspector Wednesday, according to the station.
The establishment also has a long history of problems with the health department — including two shut-downs last year for excessive health code violations, the station reported.
The department needed to force employees to trash about $5,000 worth of food.
And in November, the restaurant was hit with a $1,250 fine for 34 critical and non-critical violations — but Lindsey said she still gave the eatery the benefit of the doubt.
“I thought after they’d been fined and everything that they would have straightened their stuff up,” Lindsey told the station.
The restaurant refunded Lindsey for the meal.
